The County reserves the right to expand or reduce the proposed scope of work during the contract negotiations based on budget constraints and to award to a single or multiple proposers.

b. After the evaluation of proposals and final consideration of all available pertinent information, the County will either reject all proposals or issue a written notice of intent to award the contract. The notice shall identify the apparent best evaluated proposal and the notice shall be provided to all proposers submitting a timely proposal.

HE1241-22 – Communicable Disease Control & Prevention Page 10 of 16

b. RFP Amendment, Cancellation and Right of Rejection.

i. The County reserves the unilateral right to amend this RFP in writing at any time by posting the addendum on the OREGONBUYS website. The County may extend the deadline for submission of proposals by written addendum. Proposers are responsible to view the website periodically for any addendum to the RFP. Proposers shall respond to the final written RFP, its exhibits and attachments, and all addenda. The County also reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to reject any and all proposals or to cancel or reissue the RFP.

ii. The County reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to waive minor informalities in proposals provided such action is in the best interest of the County. Where the County waives minor informalities in proposals, such waiver does not modify the RFP requirements or excuse the applicant from full compliance with the RFP.

Notwithstanding any minor variance, the County may hold any proposal to strict compliance with the RFP.

c. Confidentiality.

The County will retain a master copy of each proposal to this RFP, which becomes public record after the notice of intent to award unless the proposal or specific parts of the proposal can be shown to be exempt by law under ORS Chapter 192. If a proposer believes that any portion of its proposal contains any information that is a trade secret under ORS 192.311-431 or otherwise is exempt from disclosure under the Oregon Public Records Law, that proposer shall complete and submit the Attachment 2: Trade Secret Form and a fully redacted version of its proposal.

Proposer is cautioned that cost information generally is not considered a trade secret under Oregon Public Records Law and identifying the proposal as confidential, in whole or in part, as exempt from disclosure is not acceptable. County advises each proposer to consult with its own legal counsel regarding disclosure issues. If proposer fails to identify the portions of the proposal that proposer claims are exempt from disclosure, proposer has waived any future claim of non-disclosure of that information.

d. Proposer Responsible for Incurred Costs.

The County shall not be liable for any expenses incurred by proposer in both preparing and submitting its proposal or contract negotiation process, if any.

e. Cooperative Purchasing.

Pursuant to ORS 279A.205 thru 279A.215, other public agencies within the State of Oregon may use the purchase agreement resulting from this Request for Proposals unless the Proposer expressly notes in their proposal that the prices quoted are available to the County only. The condition of such use by other agencies is that any such agency must make and pursue contact, purchase order, delivery arrangements, and all contractual remedies directly with the successful Proposer; the County accepts no responsibility for performance by either the successful Proposer or such other agency using this agreement. With such condition, the County consents to such use by any other public agency within the State of Oregon.

Attachment 2 - Trade Secret Form

1. I am an authorized representative of the Proposer, I have knowledge of the Request for Proposals referenced herein, and I have full authority from the Proposer to submit this Trade Secret Form and accept the responsibilities stated herein.

2. I am aware that the Proposer has submitted a Proposal, dated on or about (the “Proposal”), to Marion County in response to Request for Proposals HE1241-22, for Communicable Disease Control & Prevention and I am familiar with the contents of the RFP and Proposal.

3. I have read and am familiar with the provisions of Oregon’s Public Records Law, Oregon Revised Statutes (“ORS”) 192.311 through 192.431, and the Uniform Trade Secrets Act as adopted by the State of Oregon, which is set forth in ORS 646.461 through ORS 646.475. I understand that the Proposal is a public record held by a public body and is subject to disclosure under the Oregon Public Records Law unless specifically exempt from disclosure under that law.

4. I have reviewed the information contained in the Proposal. The Proposer believes the information listed in Exhibit A is exempt from public disclosure (collectively, the “Exempt Information”), which is incorporated herein by this reference. It is my opinion that the Exempt Information constitutes “Trade Secrets” under either the Oregon Public Records Law or the Uniform Trade Secrets Act as adopted in Oregon because that information is either:

A. A formula, plan, pattern, process, tool, mechanism, compound, procedure, production data, or compilation of information that:

i. is not patented,

ii. is known only to certain individuals within the Proposer’s organization and that is used in a business the Proposer conducts,

iii. has actual or potential commercial value, and

iv. gives its user an opportunity to obtain a business advantage over competitors who do not know or use it.

or

B. Information, including a drawing, cost data, customer list, formula, pattern, compilation, program, device, method, technique or process that:

i. Derives independent economic value, actual or potential, from not being generally known to the public or to other persons who can obtain economic value from its disclosure or use; and

ii. Is the subject of efforts by the Proposer that are reasonable under the circumstances to maintain its secrecy.

5. I understand that disclosure of the information referenced in Exhibit A may depend on official or judicial determinations made in accordance with the Public Records Law.

Authorized Representative Signature
