into effect and shall remain in effect from the time of release of the
solicitation until the contract is awarded by the District. All
communications regarding this solicitation shall be directed to the

39. CONFIDENTIALITY: Response documents related to this
procurement process are governed by the Public Records Laws,
Chapter 119, Florida Statutes. Information obtained in response to
this RFP which is privileged and confidential will not be disclosed.
Such privileged and confidential information includes information
which, if disclosed might cause harm to the competitive position of
the proposer supplying the information. Therefore, all proposers
must visibly mark as “Confidential” the parts of their proposal which
are considered to contain proprietary information. Any decision
whether or not to publicly disclose information marked as
confidential in this process rests solely with the District.
Notwithstanding the above, all documents or other materials
submitted by proposer, including claimed confidential information,
will be open for inspection by any person in accordance with chapter
119, Florida Statutes. If proposer claims any part of same is
confidential and exempt from chapter 119, Florida Statutes,
proposer shall specify in writing at the time such materials are
provided to the District, what materials are confidential and a cite to
the statutory or other source of the claim of confidentiality. If there
is a public records request for proposal documents or other materials
submitted by-proposer and proposer has claimed certain materials
to be confidential and exempt from chapter 119, Florida Statutes,
the District will notify proposer in writing that the materials claimed
to be confidential and exempt will be produced pursuant to the
public records request unless, within 10 calendar days of the date of
the written notification, proposer initiates an action in a court of
competent jurisdiction to obtain a preliminary injunction prohibiting
release of the materials claimed to be confidential and exempt and a
judicial declaration that the materials are confidential and exempt
from chapter 119, Florida Statutes. Failure to timely initiate the
action will be deemed a waiver by proposer of the claim that the
materials are confidential and exempt by proposer designating
materials as confidential and exempt, proposer agrees to hold
Customer harmless from any award to a plaintiff for damages, costs
or attorney’s fees and for costs and attorney’s fees incurred by the
District in any action involving the claimed confidential and exempt
materials. Any material submitted in response to this bid request will
become public record. Any claim of confidentiality is waived upon
submission of a bid.

41. CERTIFICATION REGARDING DEBARMENT, SUSPENSION,
INELIGIBILITY OR VOLUNTARY EXCLUSION - Lower Tier Covered
Transactions: Executive Order 12549, as currently enacted or as
amended from time to time, provides that, to the extent permitted
by law, Executive departments and agencies shall participate in a
government-wide system for non-procurement debarment and
suspension. A person who is debarred or suspended shall be
excluded from Federal financial and nonfinancial assistance and
benefits under Federal programs and activities. Except as provided in
§ 85.200, Debarment or Suspension, § 85.201, Treatment of Title IV
HEA participation, and §85.215, Exception provision, debarment or
suspension of a participant in a program by one agency shall have
government-wide effect. A lower tier covered transaction is, in part,
any transaction between a participant [SBBC] and a person other
than a procurement contract for goods or services, regardless of
type, under a primary covered transaction; and any procurement
contract for goods or services between a participant and a person,
regardless of type, expected to equal or exceed the Federal
procurement small purchase threshold fixed at 10 U.S.C. 2304(g) and
41 U.S.C. 253(g) (currently $100,000) under a primary covered
transaction; or any procurement contract for goods or services
between a participant and a person under a covered transaction,
regardless of amount, under which that person will have a critical
influence on or substantive control over that covered transaction. A
participant may rely upon the certification of a prospective
participant in a lower tier covered transaction that it and its
principals are not debarred, suspended, proposed for debarment
under 48 CFR part 9, subpart 9.4, ineligible, or voluntarily excluded
from the covered transaction, unless it knows that the certification is
erroneous. Each participant shall require participants in lower tier
covered transactions to include the certification for it and its
principals in any bid submitted in connection with such lower tier
covered transactions.
CERTIFICATION
The prospective lower tier participant certifies, by submission of this
bid, that neither it nor its principals is presently debarred,
suspended, proposed for debarment, declared ineligible, or
voluntarily excluded from participation in this transaction by any
Federal department or agency.
Where the prospective lower tier participant is unable to certify to
any of the statements in this certification, such prospective
participant shall attach an explanation to this bid.
42. CONFLICT OF INTEREST DISCLOSURE: Any award there under is
subject to provisions of chapter 112, F.S. and School Board Policy
6.3.132 all bidders must disclose – with their bid – the name of any
officer, director, or agent who is also an employee of Bay District
Schools. Further, all bidders must disclose the name of any Bay
County employee who owns, directly or indirectly, an interest of five
percent (5%) or more in the bidder’s firm or any of its branches.

form, Attachment B.
43. Respondent is hereby notified that, pursuant to § 287.05701,
Florida Statutes, the School Board may not request
documentation of or consider a vendor's social, political, or
ideological interests when determining if the respondent is a
responsible vendor.
