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

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
