ATTACHMENT I

Disclosure Exemption Affidavit

____________________ (Affiant), being first duly sworn under oath, and representing [Bidder Name] (hereafter “Bidder”), hereby deposes and swears or affirms under penalty of perjury that:

1. I am an employee of Bidder, I have knowledge of the Bids referenced herein, and I have full authority from Bidder to submit this affidavit and accept the responsibilities stated herein.

2. I am aware that the Bidder has submitted a Bid, dated on or about July 30, 2025, (the “Bid”), to the State of Oregon (State) in response to ITB # S-10700-00012203 for Supply of Bulk Propane Fuel, Tanks, Related Goods and Services and am familiar with the contents of the ITB and Bid.

3. I have read and am familiar with the provisions of Oregon’s Public Records Law, Oregon Revised Statutes (“ORS”) 192.311 through 192.478, 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 Bid 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 Bid. The Bidder 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 is exempt from disclosure under Oregon’s Public Records Law under the specifically designated sections as set forth in below Exhibit A or 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 Bidder’s organization and that is used in a business the Bidder 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 Bidder 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.
