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

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):

* 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").
