Maker, acting in the Decision-Maker’s sole discretion, to offer the most advantageous Proposal to the

7. .......................................................................................... MISCELLANEOUS
7.1. ........................................................................... Disclaimers and Reservation of Rights
Upon receipt, each Proposal becomes the sole property of City and will not be returned to the
Respondent. Each Respondent is solely responsible for the costs it incurs to prepare and submit its
Proposal. The City reserves, in its sole discretion, the right to reject any and all Proposals, including the right to cancel or postpone the RFP or the Services at any time, or to decline to award the Agreement to any of the Respondents. The City reserves the right to waive any immaterial irregularities in a Proposal or submission of a Proposal. The City reserves the right to reject any Proposal that is determined to contain false or misleading information, or material omissions.
7.2. ........................................................................................................ Conflict of Interest
Respondents must disclose to the City any actual, apparent, direct or indirect, or potential conflicts of interest that may exist with respect to Respondent, any employees of Respondent, or any other person relative to the Services to be provided pursuant to this RFP. This RFP process will be conducted in compliance with all laws regarding political contributions, conflicts of interest, or unlawful activities. City employees are prohibited from participating in the selection process for this RFP if they have any financial or business relationship with any Respondent.
7.3. .............................................................................................................. Public Records
The City is subject to the provisions of the California Public Records Act (Govt. Code § 6250 et seq.) (the
“Act”), and each Proposal submitted to the City is subject to disclosure as a public record, unless the
Proposal or any portion thereof is exempt under the Act.
Exceptions relevant to this RFP that authorize the City to refuse to disclose City records to the public, include (1) the “deliberative process”; and (2) “Confidential – Official Information.”
Deliberative Process: Unless otherwise compelled by a court order, the City will not disclose any
Proposal while the City conducts its “deliberative process” of reviewing the Proposals. However, when the Project Manager submits a recommendation to the City Council to award the Agreement to the preferred Respondent, the City will consider all Proposals to be subject to public disclosure, unless the
Respondent demonstrates to the satisfaction of the City that there is a legal exception to disclosure.
(See, Michaelis v Superior Court (2006) 38 Cal.4th 1065)
Confidential – Official Information: Another potential exception from public disclosure is “official information” submitted to the City in confidence, where the necessity for preserving the confidentiality of the information outweighs the necessity for disclosure in the interests of justice. (See California
Government Code Section 6254(k) and Evidence Code Section 1040.)
City of Napa Request For Proposals Page 11 of 13
If a Respondent asserts that any portion of its Proposal is exempt from disclosure under the Act, it must clearly mark each portion of its Proposal “Confidential”; and for each marked portion, identify the legal basis for the exemption, including citations to specific sections of the Act. Each Respondent bears the burden of proving any claimed exemption under the Act, and by submitting a Proposal, a Respondent agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the City against any third party claim seeking disclosure of the Proposal or any portions thereof. Any blanket confidentiality statement in the Proposal (e.g., regarding entire pages, documents or other non-specific designations) shall not be sufficient and shall not bind the City in any way whatsoever.
If the City receives a request for disclosure of records identified by a Respondent as “Confidential,” the
City will take one of the following actions in its sole and absolute discretion:
1. If the City determines there is a legal basis to withhold the records from disclosure, the City will not disclose those records unless compelled by a court order; provided that, upon request by the City, the Respondent shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the City regarding any claim or litigation by any third party for the public disclosure of the
“Confidential” portion of the Proposal.
2. If the City does not identify a legal basis to withhold the records from disclosure, the City will provide written notice of the request for disclosure to the Respondent, and the
Respondent will be given a reasonable opportunity to seek protection from disclosure by a court of competent jurisdiction prior to the City’s disclosure of the requested information.
