About this file
The document is a Bid Redaction Attestation Form for the West Virginia Public Employees Insurance Agency (PEIA), pertaining to the state's Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requirements for bid submissions. The form outlines the vendor's responsibilities for submitting redacted copies of bids within 15 business days of the bid closing date, with specific guidelines for appropriate redaction practices.
The form requires vendors to attest to several key points, including making precise and surgical redactions that do not obscure entire paragraphs or pages, ensuring redactions are accurate and consistent with applicable laws, and acknowledging potential administrative, civil, or criminal liability for falsification or omission of material facts. PEIA explicitly states that it assumes no liability for the accuracy or legal consistency of the redactions, and the vendor is fully responsible for defending any challenges to the redacted document.

BID REDACTION ATTESTATION FORM
The West Virginia Public Employees Insurance Agency is subject to public disclosure of all solicitations, bids, and contracts under the West Virginia Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) as described in W. Va. Code §29B-1-1, et seq. If any part of a Vendor’s bid is considered to contain information exempt from public disclosure under the West Virginia Freedom of Information Act
(FOIA), Vendor must submit a redacted copy of their bid to PEIA within 15 business days of the bid closing date. After 15 business days of the bid closing date, if Vendor has not submitted a redacted bid, PEIA will respond to any valid FOIA requests with the unredacted bid in PEIA’s possession.
Vendor understands and attests to the following (please check each box to confirm):
For purposes of redaction, the vendor must be specific as to why a FOIA exemption applies
(W. Va. Code §29B-1-4). Redactions must be “surgical” and not “global,” meaning that, for example, redaction of the number(s) after a percentage (%) or a price ($) mark must leave visible said percentage or price mark. Redactions should, to the greatest extent possible, not consist of whole paragraphs or pages.
Redactions must be accurate and complete
Redactions must be consistent with applicable laws and regulations
Any falsification, omission, or concealment of material fact may subject Vendor to administrative, civil, or criminal liability
PEIA assumes no liability for the accuracy, completion, or legal consistency of the redactions included and Vendor is wholly responsible for the defense of any challenges.
