DAS Procurement Services, Version 1.0 – February 20, 2019 Page 18 of 19 subject to the Public Contracting Code. If Agency receives an Offer from a government body, Agency will initially review the Offer according to the same criteria set forth in this ITB. Agency, in its sole discretion, may enter into an ORS Chapter 190 agreement with any government body for the Goods or Services, or any portion thereof and cancel this ITB if it would be in the public interest as determined by Agency.

7.2 OWNERSHIP/PERMISSION TO USE MATERIALS

Bids submitted in response to this ITB become the property of Agency. The submission of a Bid in response to this ITB grants the State a non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free license for the rights to copy, distribute, display, prepare derivative works of and transmit the Bid solely for the purpose of evaluating the Bid, awarding a Contract, or as otherwise needed to administer the ITB process, and to fulfill obligations under Oregon Public Records Laws. Bids, including supporting materials, will not be returned to Bidder unless Agency cancels this ITB prior to the Bid Opening identified in Section 1.3.

7.3 COST OF BIDDING

Bidders must pay all costs of bidding including, but not limited to, the cost to prepare and submit Bids, samples and other supporting materials, or to participate in demonstrations, if required by this ITB.

7.4 CANCELLATION AND/OR REJECTION OF BIDS/DAMAGES

Pursuant to ORS 279B.100, Agency may reject any or all Bids in whole or in part, and may cancel this ITB at any time when the rejection or cancellation is in the best interest of the State. Agency, the State, and their officers, employees and agents are not liable to any Bidder for any loss or expense caused by or resulting from the delay, suspension, or cancellation of this ITB, or rejection of any or all Bids. Unless Agency cancels this ITB prior to the Bid Opening identified in Section 1.3, all Bids will become part of the public record without obligation to Agency.

7.5 CONFIDENTIAL OR PROPRIETARY INFORMATION

Following award of Contract, responses to this ITB are subject to public information requests unless the response or specific information contained therein is identified as exempt from public disclosure. Bidder is advised to consult with legal counsel regarding disclosure issues.

If Bidder believes any portion of its Bid contains information considered a trade secret under ORS Chapter 192.345(2), or otherwise is exempt from disclosure under the Oregon Public Records Law, ORS 192.311 through 192.478, each page containing such information must include the following:

“This data is exempt from disclosure under the Oregon Public Records Law pursuant to ORS 192, and is not to be disclosed except in accordance with the Oregon Public Records Law, ORS 192.311 through 192.478.”

Identifying the Bid in whole as exempt from disclosure is not acceptable. Cost information submitted in response to an ITB is generally not considered a trade secret under Oregon Public Records Law. If Bidder fails to identify the portions of the Bid which Bidder claims are exempt from disclosure, Bidder is deemed to have waived any future claim of non-disclosure of that information.
