Public Disclosure Notice
All materials provided by the respondent are subject to State of Washington and applicable County (e.g.
King County) public disclosure laws, per RCW 42.56. Any information contained in the proposal that the
respondent desires to claim as confidential or proprietary must be clearly designated, including page with
particular content identified. The City assumes no obligation on behalf of the respondent to claim any
exemption that is not clearly identified by the respondent as being confidential or proprietary. The City
will try to respect all material identified by the respondent as being confidential or proprietary but
requests that respondent be highly selective of what they mark as such. The City will make a decision
predicated upon applicable laws and can choose to disclose information despite its being marked as
confidential or proprietary. Marking the entire proposal as confidential or proprietary, and therefore,
exempt from disclosure will NOT be accepted or honored, and may result in disclosure of the entire
proposal or disqualification of the proposal solely at the discretion of the City. Documents identified as
confidential or proprietary will not be treated as such if public disclosure laws take precedence, the
information is publicly available, the information is already in the City’s possession, the information is
obtained from third parties without restrictions on disclosure, or the information was independently
developed without reference to the confidential information.
