7

endorsed as an additional insured by having the appropriate box checked off and stating such in

CONFIDENTIALITY/DISCLOSURE
"Contractor" refers to all Bidders/Respondents submitting a bid/proposal.
The Town will afford due regard to the Contractor's request for the protection of proprietary or
confidential information received. However, all materials associated with the Bid/Proposal and
the Contract are subject to the terms of the Connecticut Freedom of Information Act ("FOIA")
and all corresponding rules, regulations and interpretations. In making such a request, the
Contractor may not state generally that the materials are proprietary or confidential in nature and
therefore not subject to release to third parties. The specific sentences, paragraphs, pages or
sections that the Contractor believes are exempt from disclosure under FOIA must be
specifically identified as such. An explanation and rationale to justify each exemption consistent
with FOIA must accompany the request. The rationale and explanation must be stated in terms of
the prospective harm to the competitive position of the Contractor that would result if the
identified material were to be released and the reasons why the materials are legally exempt from
release pursuant to FOIA.
If the Contractor indicates that certain documentation is submitted in confidence, by specifically
and clearly marking said documentation as CONFIDENTIAL, the Town will endeavor to keep
said information confidential to the extent permitted by law. The Town, however, shall have no
obligation to initiate, prosecute or defend any information that is sought pursuant to a FOIA
request. The Contractor shall have the burden of establishing the availability of any FOIA
exemption in any proceeding where it is an issue. In no event shall the Town, or any
representative of the Town, be liable for the disclosure of any documents or information in its
possession which the Town believes are required to be disclosed pursuant to FOIA or other
requirements as mandated by policy/law.
Additionally, as per Section 1-210(b) of FOIA - Nothing in the Freedom of Information Act
shall be construed to require the disclosure of:
8

(24) Responses to any request for proposals or bid solicitation issued by a public agency,
responses by a public agency to any request for proposals or bid solicitation issued by a private
entity or any record or file made by a public agency in connection with the contract award
process, until such contract is executed or negotiations for the award of such contract have
ended, whichever occurs earlier, provided the chief executive officer of such public agency
certifies that the public interest in the disclosure of such responses, record or file is outweighed
by the public interest in the confidentiality of such responses, record or file.
