4.13. TRADE SECRETS OR CONFIDENTIAL AND EXEMPT INFORMATION

https://procurement.opengov.com/portal/GRU

Florida’s Public Records Law, Chapter 119, Florida Statutes, includes numerous exemptions to the general requirement to disclose information to the public in response to a public record’s request. Exemptions are found in various provisions of the Florida Statutes, including but not limited to Section 119.071, Florida Statutes (General exemptions from inspection or copying of public records), and Section 119.0713, Florida Statutes (Local government agency exemptions from inspection or copying of public records). Section 815.045, Florida Statutes (Trade secret information), provides that trade secret information as defined in Section 812.081, Florida Statutes (Trade secrets; theft, embezzlement; unlawful copying; definitions; penalty) is confidential and exempt from disclosure because it is a felony to disclose such records. The Parties understand and agree that Florida’s Public Records Law is very broad and that documents claimed by a Party to be confidential and exempt from public disclosure pursuant to the Public Records Law may in fact not be deemed such by a court of law. Accordingly, the following provisions shall apply:

A. Identifying Trade Secret or Otherwise Confidential and Exempt Information.

For any records or portions thereof that respondent claims to be Trade Secret or otherwise confidential and exempt from public disclosure under the Public Records Law, respondent shall:

1. Upload a pdf version reply of the complete UNREDACTED proposal. Include “UNREDACTED, CONFIDENTIAL” in document title. This is the version that will be used by the evaluators when they are reviewing your proposal. It is essential that the items that will be redacted are highlighted in yellow to prevent the evaluation team from discussing these items after the award. The first page of the document for the unredacted document should provide a general description of the information respondent has designated as confidential and/or exempt, and provide a reference to the appropriate Florida or Federal statute supporting the confidential and/or exempt classification.

2. The City’s evaluators will be provided with the complete unredacted proposal, including any trade secret or otherwise confidential and exempt information. The City evaluators will maintain the confidentiality of the information through the evaluation process, including any recorded evaluation team meetings.

3. Upload a pdf version reply of the REDACTED copy of the proposal. Include “REDACTED” in the document title. This copy will be used to support any public records requests that may arise from this solicitation.

4. Provide an affidavit or similar type of evidence that describes and supports the basis for

Respondent’s claim that the information is confidential and exempt from public disclosure, referencing all applicable Florida Statutes

B. Request for Trade Secret or Otherwise Confidential and Exempt Information.

1. In the event a public record request is made to view the information which respondent claims is confidential and/or exempt, the City will notify the respondent and give the respondent a reasonable opportunity (generally 2 business days) to institute appropriate legal action to prevent the disclosure of the information claimed as confidential and/or exempt.

2. In the event that the City in its sole discretion finds no basis for respondent’s claim that certain information is Trade Secret or otherwise confidential and exempt under Florida’s Public Records Law, then City shall notify respondent in writing of such conclusion and provide respondent a reasonable amount of time to file for declaratory action requesting a court of law to deem the requested information as Trade Secret or otherwise as confidential and exempt under Florida’s Public Records

Law. If respondent fails to file for declaratory action within the reasonable amount of time provided, then City will disclose the information requested.

3. If a public records lawsuit is filed against CITY requesting public disclosure of the information labeled by respondent as Trade Secret or otherwise as confidential and exempt, CITY shall notify respondent and respondent shall intervene in the lawsuit to defend the nondisclosure of such information under

Florida’s Public Records Law.

4. Respondent hereby indemnifies and holds CITY, its officers and employees harmless from any and all liabilities, damages, losses, and costs of any kind and nature, including but not limited to attorney’s fees, that arise from or are in any way connected with respondent’s claim that any information it provided to CITY is Trade Secret or otherwise confidential and exempt from public disclosure under

Florida’s Public Records Law.

C. How to Designate Trade Secret or Otherwise Confidential and Exempt Information

If a respondent believes that its reply contains Trade Secret or otherwise confidential and exempt information (as defined by Florida or Federal law) and should be withheld from disclosure to the public, in such cases the respondent must provide a redacted copy of the proposal for public access.

D. How the City will Handle Material Identified as Trade Secret or Otherwise Confidential and Exempt Information

All public records submitted to the City, including those claimed as confidential and/or exempt, will be retained by the City and will not be returned to a respondent at the conclusion of the bidding process.

4.14. PROTEST OF SOLICITATION SPECIFICATIONS AND/OR AWARD

Participants may protest the Specifications of the solicitation in accordance with Section C.5.i. of the Pro-01 Procurement Administrative Guidelines

Participants may protest the Solicitation Award in accordance with Section C.5.i. of the Pro-01 Procurement
