TRADE SECRET STATUS AFFIDAVIT
Augusta, Georgia
All documents, data, letters and generated information received by Augusta, Georgia constitutes a
"public record" and is subject to disclosure under the Georgia Open Records Act ("GORA"). O.C.G.A.
50-18-70 et seq. However, pursuant to O.C.G.A. 50-18-72(a)(34), "[an] entity submitting records
containing trade secrets that wishes to keep such records confidential under this paragraph shall submit
and attach to the records an affidavit affirmatively declaring that specific information in the records
constitute trade secrets pursuant to Article 27 of Chapter 1 of Title 10 [O.C.G.A. 10-1-760 et seq.]."
O.C.G.A. 10-1-761(4) defines "Trade secret" as "...information, without regard to form, including, but not
limited to, technical or nontechnical data, a formula, a pattern, a compilation, a program, a device, a
method, a technique, a drawing, a process, financial data, financial plans, product plans, or a list of actual
or potential customers or suppliers which is not commonly known by or available to the public and which
information:
A. Derives 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; and
B. Is the subject of efforts that are reasonable under the circumstances to maintain its secrecy."
Therefore, the records listed below and attached hereto, that were submitted with
_______________________response to Augusta, Georgia Request for Proposal, Request for Quote, or Request
for Qualified Contractor ______________are marked confidential pursuant to O.C.G.A. 10-1-761(4):
* (List specific information that the supplier wishes to withhold and how that information constitutes
a trade secret)
* Additional trade secret information requested to be withheld
* Your company is requested to send a redacted copy of your submittal.
Under penalty of perjury, acknowledging that O.C.G.A. 16-10-71 provides a penalty of a fine of up to
$1,000 and potential imprisonment of one to five years, I attest that the specific information in the records
listed above constitutes trade secrets pursuant to O.C.G.A. 10-1-761(4), and request that Augusta,
Georgia not disclose this protected information under the Georgia Open Records Act ("GORA").
