About this file

This is a Disclosure Exemption Affidavit for Bid Solicitation RFA S-10000-00015652 - Individual Residential Care ("IRC") Services issued by the State of Oregon's Department of Administrative Services (DAS) Procurement Services. The affidavit is a required document that applicants must complete and submit with their applications to identify information they believe is exempt from public disclosure under Oregon's Public Records Law (ORS 192.311 through 192.478) and the Uniform Trade Secrets Act (ORS 646.461 through 646.475). The document requires the affiant, who must be an employee of the applicant organization with full authority to submit the affidavit, to certify that they have reviewed the application contents and identified specific information claimed as exempt from disclosure, which is detailed in Exhibit A of this attachment.

The exemption criteria include information that qualifies as trade secrets under either Oregon's Public Records Law or the Uniform Trade Secrets Act. Qualifying information must meet specific criteria such as being a formula, plan, pattern, process, tool, or compilation of information that is not patented, known only to certain individuals within the organization, has actual or potential commercial value, and provides a competitive business advantage. Alternatively, exempt information can include any drawing, cost data, customer list, formula, pattern, compilation, program, device, method, or technique that derives independent economic value from not being publicly known and is subject to reasonable efforts by the applicant to maintain its secrecy. The affidavit must be sworn before a notary public and acknowledges that final disclosure determinations may depend on official or judicial review in accordance with Oregon's Public Records Law.

ATTACHMENT F — DISCLOSURE EXEMPTION AFFIDAVIT

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

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

2. I am aware that the Applicant has submitted an Application, dated on or about [insert date] _________________________ (the “Application”), to the State of Oregon (“State”) in response to FFA S-10000-00015652 – Individual Residential Care (“IRC”) Services, and I am familiar with the contents of the RFA and Application.

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 Application 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 Application. The Applicant 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 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 Applicant’s organization and that is used in a business the Applicant 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:

(6161-0) v1 Attach F / l.thomas Page 2 of 3

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 Applicant 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.
