Some of the terms and conditions may be negotiated, however most of the provisions are fixed for all College contracts. A sample of this contract can be found in the system entitled “Ivy Tech BASE Contract_v5.pdf.” Data Sharing Agreement

Non-Disclosure of Proprietary or Trade Secret Information

Respondents are prohibited from including proprietary or trade secret information in their proposal or any documentation provided to the College in response to this RFP. Information submitted in response to this RFP may be considered public record and subject to disclosure. Per Ind. Code 5-14-3-1: Any person may inspect and copy the public records of any public agency, except as provided in section 4 of the Access to Public Records Act (“APRA”). Ind. Code 5-14-3-3(a). Since it is the public policy of the APRA that it is to be construed liberally in favor of disclosure, exceptions to that general rule of disclosure are to be narrowly construed. IC 5-14-3-1. See Robinson v. Indiana University, 659 N.E.2d 153, 156 (Ind. Ct. App. 1995). Among the types of records that may not be disclosed by a public agency unless access to the records is specifically required by a state or federal statute or is ordered by a court under the rules of discovery, are records containing trade secrets. IC 5-14-3-4(a)(4). “Trade secret” for purposes of the APRA has the meaning set forth in Indiana Code 24-2-3-2, the Indiana Uniform Trade Secrets Act (“IUTSA”). IC 5-14-32(o). "Trade secret" means information, including a formula, pattern, compilation, program, device, method, technique, or process, that:

(1) derives independent economic value, actual or potential, from not being generally known to, and not being readily ascertainable by proper means by, other persons who can obtain economic value from its disclosure or use; and (2) is the subject of efforts that are reasonable under the circumstances to maintain its secrecy.


Ivy Tech Community College of Indiana Reserved Rights

The College reserves the right to: 1) Reject any or all proposals and, in particular, any proposals not containing complete data requested in this RFP; 2) Waive any irregularity in any proposal received; 3) Accept the proposal that appears to be in the best interests of the College and negotiate a contract with that Respondent using the proposal submitted as part of the basis for the contract; 4) Conduct discussions with any or all Respondents for the purpose of clarification of proposals; 5) Waive, or decline to waive, any insignificant defect in any proposal or proposal procedure; 6) Accept, reject, or negotiate the terms of any proposal, or any part of a proposal, for the purpose of obtaining the best and final offer from a Respondent; 7) Reissue the RFP; 8) Select the finalist or finalists based on the College's analysis and evaluation of proposals submitted; and 9) Request proposal presentations if the College determines further information would benefit the decision-making process.
