      This Agreement is entered into as of the date of the last signature set forth below between the Clay County Utility Authority, a political subdivision of the State of Florida (the "Authority"), and the above named Offeror (hereinafter the “Offeror”).  The Clay County Utility Authority and the Offeror are collectively referred to as the “Parties” and may be referred to individually as a Party.

      RECITALS

      WHEREAS, the Offeror possesses certain confidential trade secret materials that it wishes to disclose to the Authority for the purpose of responding to a request for proposal or otherwise conducting business with the Authority; and

      WHEREAS, the Authority desires to review such materials in order to evaluate the Authority’s interest in negotiating and concluding an agreement for the purchase of certain products and services, or otherwise conducting business with the Offeror.  

      NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and premises contained herein, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Authority and the Offeror agree as follows:

      1. Confidential Materials.  The Offeror warrants and represents to the Authority that the materials described in the attached Exhibit A (the “Confidential Materials”) constitute trade secrets as defined by Section 812.081(1)(c), Florida Statutes, or financial statements required by the Authority for projects as defined in 119.071(1)(c), Florida Statutes. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Authority agrees not to disclose such Confidential Materials to third parties.
      2. Additional Materials.  During the course of the negotiations or the business relationship with the Authority, the Offeror may disclose additional confidential or trade secret information to the Authority in which case the restrictions and obligations on the use and disclosure of the Confidential Materials imposed by this Agreement shall also apply to such additional information to the extent permitted by Florida law.  Any such additional confidential or trade secret information shall be duly marked and stamped “confidential” or “trade secret” prior to delivery to the Authority, and shall be subject to this Agreement and Section 812.081(2), Florida Statutes, only if written receipt is provided by the Authority acknowledging receipt of such materials.
      3. Exclusions. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Confidential Materials” does not include the following:
        1. Information already known or independently developed by the Authority;
        2. Information in the public domain through no wrongful act of the Authority;
        3. Information received by the Authority from a third party who was legally free to disclose it;
        4. Information disclosed by the Offeror to a third party without restriction on disclosure;
        5. Information disclosed by requirement of law or judicial order, including without limitation Chapter 119 Florida Statutes; or
        6. Information that is disclosed with the prior written consent of the Offeror, but only to the extent permitted by such consent.
      4. Non Disclosure by Offeror. In the event that the Authority discloses confidential or trade secret information to Offeror, the Offeror agrees to not disclose such information to any third party or copy such information or use it for any purpose not explicitly set forth herein without the Authority’s prior written consent.  Further, upon conclusion of discussions or business transactions between the Authority and the Offeror, or at any time upon request of the Authority, Offeror agrees to return such information (including any copies) to the Authority.
      5. Duty of Care. Each Party agrees to treat the other Party’s confidential or trade secret information with the same degree of care, but not less than reasonable care, as the receiving Party normally takes to preserve and protect its own similar confidential information and to inform its employees of the confidential nature of the disclosing Party’s information and of the requirement of nondisclosure.  In the event either Party has actual knowledge of a breach of the nondisclosure requirements set forth in this Agreement, the Party acquiring such knowledge shall promptly inform the other Party and assist that Party in curing the disclosure, where possible, and preventing future disclosures. 
      6. Limitations of Florida Law.  Offeror understands and agrees that its assertion that any item is confidential or a trade secret does not, in and of itself, render such material exempt from the Florida Public Records Law, Chapter 119 of the Florida Statutes, and that the Authority’s ability to prevent disclosure of confidential and trade secret information may be subject to determination by a Florida court that such materials qualify for trade secret protection under Florida law.  In the event a third party makes a public records request for the Confidential Materials or other materials deemed by Offeror to be confidential or a trade secret, the Authority may submit the materials to the court for inspection in camera as set forth in Section 119.07(1)(e) Florida Statutes.  Offeror further understands that the Authority may be required to disclose such information if directed by a court of competent jurisdiction.
      7. Indemnification by Offeror.  In the event of any litigation instituted by a third party to compel the Authority to disclose such materials, Offeror shall, at its sole cost and expense, provide assistance to the Authority in defending the denial of the records request, and shall hold the Authority harmless from any claim for statutory costs and attorney’s fees arising from the Authority’s refusal to disclose such materials.
      8. No Additional Obligations.  This Agreement shall not be construed in any manner to be an obligation for either Party to enter into any subsequent contract or agreement.
      9. Sovereign Immunity. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed as a waiver of immunity or limits of liability of the Authority beyond any statutory limited waiver of immunity or limits of liability, which has been or which may be adopted by the Florida Legislature, regardless of the nature of any claim which may arise, including but not limited to a claim sounding in tort, equity or contract.  In no event shall the Authority be liable for any claim or claims for breach of contract, including without limitation the wrongful disclosure of confidential or trade secret information for an amount which exceeds, individually and collectively, the then current statutory limits of liability for tort claims.  Nothing in this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of any third party for the purpose of allowing any claim against the Authority, which would otherwise be barred under the Doctrine of Sovereign Immunity or by operation of law.
      10. Notice.  Whenever either Party desires to give notice unto the other, it must be given by written notice, sent by registered United States mail, with return receipt requested, addressed to the party for whom it is intended, at the place last specified, and the place for giving of notice in compliance with the provisions of this paragraph.  For the present, the Offeror designates the address set forth above as its place for receiving notice, and the Authority designates the following address for such notice:

      4. I understand that an “affiliate” as defined in Paragraph 287.133 (1) (A), Florida Statutes, means:
        1. A predecessor or successor of a person convicted of a public entity crime; or
        2. An entity under the control of any natural person who is active in the management of the entity and who has been convicted of a public entity crime. The term “affiliate” includes those officers, directors, executives, partners, shareholders, employees, members, and agents who are active in the management of an affiliate. The ownership by one person of shares constituting a controlling interest in another person, or a pooling of equipment or income among persons when not for fair market value under an arm’s length agreement, shall be prima facie case that one person controls another person. A person who knowingly enters into a joint venture with a person who has been convicted of a public entity crime in Florida during the preceding 36 months shall be considered an affiliate.
      5. I understand that a “person” as defined in Paragraph 287.133 (1) (E), Florida Statutes, means any natural person or entity organized under the laws of any state or of the United States with the legal power to enter into a binding contract and which aids or applies to bid on contracts for the provision of goods or services led by a public entity, or which otherwise transacts or applies to transact business with a public entity. The term “person” includes those officers, directors, executives, partners, shareholders, employees, members, and agents who are active in management of an entity.
      6. Based on information and belief, the statement which I have marked below is true in relation to the entity submitting this sworn statement.

      I UNDERSTAND THAT THE SUBMISSION OF THIS FORM TO THE CONTRACTING OFFICER FOR THE PUBLIC ENTITY IDENTIFIED IN PARAGRAPH 1 (ONE) ABOVE IS FOR THAT PUBLIC ENTITY ONLY AND, THAT THIS FORM IS VALID THROUGH DECEMBER 31 OF THE CALENDAR YEAR IN WHICH IT IS FILED.
