About this file
This is a Proprietary Information Agreement between the County of Sacramento and a consultant submitting proprietary or confidential data in response to a Request for Proposal for air quality source testing services at the Kiefer Landfill. The agreement establishes the terms under which the County will protect sensitive consultant information submitted as part of the proposal process. The County agrees not to disclose or reproduce the proprietary data to external parties without authorization from the consultant, except as necessary to evaluate the proposal response and monitor or evaluate services resulting from the RFP. The agreement has a specified term measured in years, to be filled in by the parties at execution.
The consultant agrees to defend and indemnify the County, its Board of Supervisors, officers, directors, agents, employees, and volunteers against any claims, actions, liabilities, losses, damages, and costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising from the County's assertion of confidentiality regarding the proprietary data if a subpoena or Public Records Act request is received. The consultant further agrees to defend and hold the County harmless from all demands and claims resulting from performance of the agreement. Critically, the County reserves the sole discretion to determine whether it will assert the confidentiality claim on behalf of the consultant. If the consultant fails to execute the agreement, the County may freely grant any Public Records Act request related to the proprietary data without restriction.
