TRADE SECRET ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
All proposals received by the County shall be considered "Public Record" as defined by Section 6252 of the California Government Code. This definition reads as follows:
"...Public records" includes any writing containing information relating to the conduct of the public's business prepared, owned, used or retained by any state or local agency regardless of physical form or characteristics "Public records" in the custody of, or maintained by, the Governor's office means any writing prepared on or after January 6, 1975."
Each proposal submitted is Public record and is therefore subject to inspection by the public per Section 6253 of the California Government Code. This section states that "every citizen has a right to inspect any public record".
The County will not exclude any proposal or portion of a proposal from treatment as a public record except in the instance that it is submitted as a trade secret as defined by the California Government Code. Information submitted as proprietary, confidential or under any other such terms that might suggest restricted public access will not be excluded from treatment as public record.
"Trade secrets" as defined by Section 6254.7 of the California Government Code are deemed not to be public record. This section defines trade secrets as:
"...Trade secrets," as used in this section, may include, but are not limited to, any formula, plan, pattern, process, tool, mechanism, compound, procedure, production data or compilation of information that is not patented, which is known only to certain individuals within a commercial concern who are using it to fabricate, produce, or compound an article of trade or a service having commercial value and which gives its user an opportunity to obtain a business advantage over competitors who do not know or use it."
Information identified by bidder as "trade secret" will be reviewed by County of Fresno's legal counsel to determine conformance or non-conformance to this definition. Examples of material not considered to be trade secrets are pricing, cover letter, promotional materials, etc. Such material should be submitted in a separate binder not marked "Trade Secret".
INFORMATION THAT IS PROPERLY IDENTIFIED AS TRADE SECRET AND CONFORMS TO THE ABOVE DEFINITION WILL NOT BECOME PUBLIC RECORD. COUNTY WILL SAFEGUARD THIS INFORMATION IN AN APPROPRIATE MANNER.
Information identified by bidder as trade secret and determined not to be in conformance with the California Government Code definition shall be excluded from the proposal. Such information will be returned to the bidder at bidder's expense upon written request.
Trade secrets must be submitted in a separate binder that is plainly marked "Trade Secrets."
The County shall not in any way be liable or responsible for the disclosure of any proposals or portions thereof, if they are not (1) submitted in a separate binder that is plainly marked "Trade Secret" on the outside; and (2) if disclosure is required under the provision of law or by order of Court.
Vendors are advised that the County does not wish to receive trade secrets and that vendors are not to supply trade secrets unless they are absolutely necessary.
TRADE SECRET ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
