information presented in a bid response. The content of each Vendor’s bid shall become public knowledge

once a contract(s) has been awarded.

A responding bid that has been signed by a Vendors representative shall constitute the Vendors

acceptance of all State of New Hampshire terms and conditions and shall legally obligate the Vendor to

these terms and conditions.

A signed response further signifies that from the time the bid is published (bid solicitation date and time)

until a contract is awarded, no bidder shall offer or give, directly or indirectly, any gift, expense

reimbursement, or honorarium, as defined by RSA 15-B, to any elected official, public official, public

employee, constitutional official, or family member of any such official or employee who shall select,

evaluate, or award the Request for Bid.

Furthermore, a signed response signifies that any terms and/or conditions that may be or have been

submitted by the Vendor are specifically null and void and are not a part of this bid invitation or any

awarded purchase order, even if said terms and/or conditions contain language to the contrary.

The form P-37 Contract attached hereto shall be part of this bid and the basis for the contract(s). The

successful Vendor and the State, following notification, shall promptly execute this contract form, which

is to be completed by incorporating the service requirements and price conditions established by the

vendor’s offer.

G. Notification and Award of Contract(s)

Bid results shall not be given by telephone. The names of the vendors submitting bids and pricing shall

be made public. Other specific response information shall not be given out. Bid results shall be made

public after final approval of the contract(s).

H. Public Disclosure of Bid or Proposal Submissions

Generally, the contents of any bid (including all materials submitted in connection with it, such as

attachments, exhibits, addenda, and vendor presentations) become public information upon completion

of final contract or purchase order negotiations with the selected vendor. Certain information concerning

Page 4 of 12

Contractor Initials ________

Date ________

bids, including but not limited to pricing or scoring, is generally available to the public even before this

time, in accordance with the provisions of RSA 21-G:37.

To the extent consistent with applicable state and federal laws and regulations, as determined by the

State, including, but not limited to, RSA Chapter 91-A (the “Right-to-Know” Law), the State shall, after final

negotiations with the selected vendor are complete, attempt to maintain confidentiality of portions of a

bid that are clearly and properly marked by bidder as confidential. Any and all information contained in

or connected to a bid that a bidder considers confidential shall be clearly designated in the following

manner:

If the bidder considers any portion of a submission confidential, they shall provide a separate copy of

the full and complete document, fully redacting those portions by blacking them out and shall note on

the applicable page or pages of the document that the redacted portion or portions are “confidential.”

Use of any other term or method, such as stating that a document or portion thereof is “proprietary”,

“not for public use”, or “for client’s use only”, is not acceptable. In addition to providing an additional

fully redacted copy of the bid submission to the person listed as the point of contact on Page (1) of this

document, the identified information considered to be confidential must be accompanied by a separate

letter stating the rationale for each item designated as confidential. The letter must specifically state why

and under what legal authority each redaction has been made. Submissions which do not conform to

these instructions by failing to include a redacted copy (if required), by failing to include a letter specifying

the rationale for each redaction, by failing to designate redactions in the manner required by these

instructions, or by including redactions which are contrary to these instructions or operative law may be

rejected by the State as not conforming to the requirements of the bid. The State will generally assume

that a bid submitted without an additional redacted copy contains no information which the bidder deems

confidential. Bids which contain no redactions, as well as redacted versions of submissions that have been

accepted by the State, may be released to the public, including by means of posting on State websites.

The State shall have no obligation to maintain the confidentiality of any portion of a bid, or related

material, which is not marked in accordance with the foregoing provisions. It is specifically understood

and agreed that the bidder waives any claim of confidentiality as to any portion of a response to this

Request for Bid that is not marked as indicated above, and that unmarked (or improperly marked)

submissions may be disseminated to any person, without limitation. Marking an entire bid, attachments,

or full sections thereof confidential without taking into consideration the public’s right to know shall

neither be accepted nor honored by the State.

Notwithstanding any provision of this request for submission to the contrary, proposed pricing shall be

subject to public disclosure REGARDLESS of whether or not marked as confidential.

If a request is made to the State by any person or entity to view or receive copies of any portion of a bid

and if disclosure is not prohibited under RSA 21-G:37 or any other applicable law or regulation, bidders

acknowledge and agree that the State may disclose any and all portions of the bid or related materials

which is not marked as confidential. In the case of bids, or related materials that contain portions marked

confidential, the State shall assess what information it believes is subject to release; notify the bidder that

the request has been made; indicate what, if any, portions of the bid or related material shall not be

released; and notify the bidder of the date it plans to release the materials. The State is not obligated to

comply with a bidder’s designation regarding confidentiality. The State shall have no obligation to advise
