Applying the Preferences
In determining the award of a Request for Quotation (RFQ),the CAO will first identify the lowest cost
responsive and responsible bidder, and award will be made to that vendor when such vendor is both a FCLV
and a DVBE.
t If the lowest such bidder is not an FCLV, it will be determined if the Local Vendor Preference and/or the
DVBE Preference are applicable to other bidders. The preferences will then apply to bids submitted by
t FCLVs and DVBEs that are within 5%of the designated low bid. The vendors submitting bids that are within
the 5%will be granted an opportunity to submit a new bid. It must be stressed that in the event of a tie
between a FCLV and a DVBE that is not a FCLV, the FCLV shall take precedence in award of the contract.
This condition is necessary to remain consistent with Fresno County Charter Section 12 (h), which
i specifically calls for a preference to local vendors.
t When the lowest responsive and responsible bidder is a FCLV, other bidders who are both FCLVs and
DVBEs will have the opportunity to re-bid.
When the lowest responsive and responsible bid is from a non-local DVBE,all FCLVs will be offered a re-bid
opportunity.

TRADE SECRET ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
Each proposal submitted is public record under the California Public Records Act(Cal.Gov. Code, secs.7920.000 and
following)and is therefore open to inspection by the public as required by Section 7922.525 of the California Government
Code. This section generally states that"every person has a right to inspect any public record".The County will not
exclude any proposal or portion of a proposal from treatment as a public record except information that it is properly
submitted as a"trade secret"(defined below), and determined by the County to be a"trade secret"(if not otherwise
subject to disclosure,as stated below). Information submitted as"proprietary","confidential"or under any other terms that
might state or suggest restricted public access will not be excluded from treatment as public record.
"Trade secrets"as defined by Section 7924.510 of the California Government Code are not treated as a public record
under that section.This section defines trade secrets as:
"...Trade secrets,"as used in this section,may include,but are not limited to,any formula,plan,pattern,process,tool,
mechanism,compound,procedure,production data or compilation of information that is not patented,which is known only
to certain individuals within a commercial concern who are using it to fabricate,produce,or compound an article of trade or
a service having commercial value and which gives its user an opportunity to obtain a business advantage over competitors
who do not know or use it."
Such information must be submitted in a separate PDF file named"Trade Secret"and marked as"Confidential"in the
Public Purchase system. Bidders must include a clear and concise statement that sets out the reasons for confidentiality
in accordance with the foregoing definition of"trade secret." Examples of information not considered trade secrets are
pricing,cover letter,promotional materials,references,and the like.
Information submitted by a bidder as"trade secret"will be reviewed by County of Fresno's Purchasing Division,with the
assistance of the County's legal counsel,to determine conformance or non-conformance to the foregoing definition.
Information that is properly identified as"trade secret"and which the County determines to conform to the definition will
not become public record(if not otherwise subject to disclosure,as stated below).The County will safeguard this
information in an appropriate manner,provided however,in the event of a request,demand, or legal action by any
person or entity seeking access to the"trade secret"information,the County will inform the bidder of such request,
demand,or legal action,and the bidder shall defend,indemnify,and hold harmless the County,including its officers and
employees,against any and all claims,liabilities,damages,or costs or expenses,including attorney's fees and costs,
relating to such request,demand or legal action,seeking access to the"trade secret"information.
Information submitted by bidder as trade secret and determined by the County not to be in conformance with the
foregoing California Government Code definition shall be excluded from the proposal and deleted by the County.
The County shall not in any way be liable or responsible for the disclosure of any proposals or portions thereof, if(1)they
are not electronically submitted in a separate PDF that is marked"Trade Secret"and marked as Confidential in the
Public Purchase system;or(2)disclosure thereof is required or allowed under the law or by order of court.
Bidders are advised that the County does not wish to receive trade secrets and that bidders are not to supply trade
secrets unless they are absolutely necessary.
I have read and understand,and agree to the above"Trade Secret Acknowledgement."
BIDDER MUST CHECK ONE OF THE FOLLOWING:
Has bidder submitted certain bid information that is a"trade secret,"as defined by Section 7924.510 of the Califorr
Government Code,and in compliance with the requirements of this Trade Secrets Acknowledgement?
By marking"NO",bidder does not claim any confidentiality of any bid information submitted to the County.
