(Herein, any reference to “Record” includes all such records and the offer; any reference to “Law” includes any federal or State of Alaska (State) law, including any court or administrative order or rule.) • All Records belong to the State. • The State has sole discretion regarding whether to return any Record. In exercising this discretion, the State will comply with all Laws. • Unless a notice of intent to award is issued, the State will, to the extent permitted by Law, consider all Records confidential and not subject to the Alaska Public Records Act (APRA). • If, and when a Notice of Intent to Award is issued, the State will consider nonconfidential any Record unless, at the time of submission, the Bidder undertook the following protective measures: • marked information confidential; • for any information marked confidential, identified the authority that makes that specific information confidential; and • committed, in writing, to explain in detail, including with affidavits and briefs, why each authority applies in any court or administrative proceeding in which any nondisclosure is challenged. • If the Bidder did not undertake each protective measure, the State will not consider any information in a Record confidential: the State will disclose the entire Record without any redaction in response to an APRA or other request or, if it chooses, in the absence of a request and the State will disclose the entire Record without notifying the Bidder. • If the Bidder undertook each protective measure, the State will withhold the information marked confidential to the following extent: • the State agrees that the Law protects the information; and • if the nondisclosure is challenged, the Bidder fulfills its commitment to explain, including with affidavits and briefs, how each authority applies to the information marked confidential. The State will only notify a Bidder of a request for the Record and of a planned release if the Bidder undertook each protective measure, but the State disagrees that the marked information is protected. If there is such a disagreement, then before releasing the Record, the State will, to the extent permitted by Law and practicable, notify the Bidder that it will disclose the information unless the Bidder convinces the State not to or obtains an order prohibiting disclosure
