All material received in response to this bid shall become the property of the State and shall not

be returned to the Vendor. Regardless of the Vendor(s) selected, the State reserves the right to

use any 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.

Complete bids shall be filled out on the original documents and format that are a part of this bid

invitation. Vendors may submit additional paperwork with pricing, but all pricing shall be on the

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).

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 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.

Date

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 a bidder that an individual

or entity is attempting to electronically access, or has been referred to, materials which have

been made publicly available on the state’s websites.

By submitting a bid, the bidder agrees that unless it obtains and provides to the State, prior to
