DESIGNATION OF CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY INFORMATION
The attached material submitted in response to Bid/Proposal # 27841 PA includes proprietary
and confidential information which qualifies as a trade secret, as provided in s. 19.36(5), Wis. Stats., or is otherwise
material that can be kept confidential under the Wisconsin Open Records Law. As such, we ask that certain pages, as
indicated below, of this bid/proposal response be treated as confidential material and not be released without our
written approval.
Prices always become public information when bids/proposals are opened, and therefore cannot be
kept confidential.
Other information cannot be kept confidential unless it is a trade secret. Trade secret is defined in s. 134.90(1)(c),
Wis. Stats. as follows: "Trade secret" means information, including a formula, pattern, compilation, program, device,
method, technique or process to which all of the following apply:
1. The information derives independent economic value, actual or potential, from not being generally known to, and
not being readily ascertainable by proper means by, other persons who can obtain economic value from its
disclosure or use.
2. The information is the subject of efforts to maintain its secrecy that are reasonable under the circumstances.
We request that the following pages not be released
