for reimbursement from the SJPC for the expense of preparation.
9. The New Jersey Open Public Records Act (hereinafter "OPRA") mandates public
access to government records. However, Proposals submitted in response to this RFP
may contain technical, financial, or other data whose public disclosure could cause
substantial injury to a Proposer's competitive position or constitute a trade secret. To
protect these data from disclosure under the OPRA, the Proposer should specifically
identify the pages of the Proposal that contain such information, by properly marking
the applicable pages and inserting the following notice in the front of its Proposal.
2

PROPRIETARY INFORMATION
Proposers are allowed to identify proprietary information and specifically request that such
information be used for evaluation purposes only. Proposers should include a statement in
their responses that the data on specific pages of their Proposal identified by an asterisk (*)
contains technical and/or financial information, which are trade secrets, or information for
which disclosure would result in substantial injury to the Proposer's competitive position.
The Proposer, by identifying and requesting that such data be used only for the evaluation of
the Proposal, understands that the disclosure will be limited to the extent SJPC considers
proper under the OPRA. If an agreement is entered into with the Proposer, SJPC shall have
the right to use or disclose the data as provided in the agreement, unless otherwise obligated
by law or court order.
The SJPC does not assume any responsibility for disclosure or use of marked data for any
purpose. In the event that properly marked data is requested under the OPRA, the Proposer
will be advised of the request, and may expeditiously submit to the SJPC a detailed statement
indicating the reasons it has for believing that the information is exempt from disclosure under
the law. This statement will be used by the SJPC in making its determination as to whether
disclosure is proper under the law.
The SJPC has diligently prepared this RFP, and has presented all known, pertinent data as
accurately and as completely as possible. This data is provided for general information
purposes only. The SJPC does not guarantee or warrant the correctness of this information;
moreover, the SJPC accepts no responsibility for any omissions or deletions of information
relating to this RFP.
DISCLAIMER
The contents and information provided in this RFP are meant to provide general information
to interested parties, and in no way reflect the adherence of the SJPC to any public bidding
requirements. The successful Proposer shall be required to execute an agreement with
SJPC that will govern the rights, duties and obligations between SJPC and the successful
Proposer.
Accordingly, the terms set forth within this RFP do not constitute any contract or agreement
between SJPC and the successful Proposer. Moreover, SJPC accepts no responsibility for
any omissions or deletions relating to this RFP; however, the successful Proposal and this
RFP will become part of the entire agreement to be entered into by SJPC and the successful
Proposer.
