The ordinance made revisions to Portland City Code 3.100 requiring certain City contractors to provide benefits to their employees with domestic partners equivalent to those provided to employees with spouses. This new requirement applies to construction contracts, Professional, Technical and Expert Services (PTE), and goods and services contracts exceeding the formal solicitation limits for those contracts awarded on or after January 1, 2007.

1.6.1  CONFIDENTIALITY.

 

1.6.2  Public Record. Licensor/Vendor acknowledges that City is subject to ORS Chapter 192.410, et. seq., otherwise known as the Oregon Public Records Act, ORS 192.610 et seq., known as the Oregon Public Meeting Law, Portland City Code and the Portland City Charter. The Customer acknowledges and agrees that the Products contain Proprietary Information of Licensor/Vendor. Subject to Oregon Public Records Laws, Uniform Trade Secrets Act, Portland City Code and Portland City Charter, Customer will hold in confidence and, without the consent of Licensor/Vendor, will not use, reproduce, distribute, transmit, transfer, or disclose, directly or indirectly, in any form, by any means, or for any purpose, the Proprietary Information of Licensor/Vendor unless required to do so by force of law. Customer may only disclose the Licensor/Vendor Proprietary Information to its employees with a need to know such information for the purposes set forth herein. Under no circumstances shall the Customer disclose or disseminate the Licensor/Vendor Proprietary Information to a competitor of Licensor/Vendor unless required by law. Without limiting the foregoing, Customer will exercise at least the same standard of care in protecting the confidentiality of the Licensor/Vendor Proprietary Information as it does with its own Proprietary Information. Licensor/Vendor acknowledges that City is subject to Oregon Public Records Laws and that City will follow the process outlined in the Master Agreement 1.6.2 “Public Records.”

 

1.6.3  Term. Customer’s obligations with regard to Trade Secrets of Licensor/Vendor remain in effect for as long as such information shall remain a trade secret under applicable law and its obligations with regard to Confidential Information of Licensor/Vendor shall remain in effect during the term of this Agreement and for three (3) years after the expiration or termination for any reason hereof. Within the limits and discretion allowed by those laws, the City will maintain the confidentiality of information.

 

1.6.4  Licensor/Vendor acknowledges that this Agreement and other written information received or created by the City, regardless of physical form, constitute public records under the Oregon Public Records Law. Any specific information that is claimed by Licensor/Vendor to be Proprietary Information, Trade Secret or Confidential Information must be clearly identified as such by Licensor/Vendor. However, Licensor/Vendor has been informed by City and is aware that information identified as “confidential” or “proprietary” does not receive automatic protection under the Act as the information must meet the statutory definitions for “trade secrets”, “confidential” information, or some other statutory requirement to remain conditionally or unconditionally exempt from disclosure. To the extent consistent with the Public Records Act and the Uniform Trade Secrets Act City will maintain the confidentiality of all such information marked Proprietary Information, Trade Secret or Confidential Information provided it meets the requirements of the Public Records Act and/or the Uniform Trade Secrets Act. Licensor/Vendor will not appropriate or use without permission any trademarks, service marks, confidential or other Proprietary Information belonging to Customer.

 

1.6.5  In the event that either party is requested or required, by public records request, subpoena, oral deposition, interrogatories, request for production of documents, administrative order or otherwise to view Licensor/Vendor’s Proprietary Information or Confidential Information, City will notify Licensor/Vendor of the date of the request and whether the City believes that any requested records should be released to the requester. Thereafter, unless Licensor/Vendor takes the position that such information nonetheless is confidential, a trade secret, proprietary or otherwise not subject to disclosure the City will release the identified requested information on the date specified. If the Licensor/Vendor and City are able to redact documents to satisfy the request, City and Licensor/Vendor shall work together to redact documents in a timely manner. Licensor/Vendor shall reimburse City Attorney’s office at the rate of $138 per hour billed to the nearest quarter hour for time spent. If the City refuses to disclose requested records to a person requesting the documents based on Licensor/Vendor’s identification of such documents because the documents are not subject to disclosure under Oregon law, and that person appeals the City’s decision to the District Attorney for Multnomah County, Licensor/Vendor will take such actions that it believes is necessary to sustain its position to the District Attorney. If the District Attorney orders production, and the Licensor/Vendor continues to believe the requested information is not subject to Disclosure under the Public Records Act and/ or Uniform Trade Secrets Act, the Licensor/Vendor agrees to take what ever action it considers legally necessary to protect its information, including, but not limited to, seeking a court order enjoining any disclosure by the City within a week of the District Attorney’s decision. Failure to take such action relieves the City from any claim by Licensor/Vendor that the City failed to protect the Licensor/Vendor’s confidential, Trade Secret or proprietary information as required by this Agreement. Licensor/Vendor shall save, indemnify, and hold harmless the City from any an all cost, including attorney fees as may be awarded a court, that are imposed upon the City as a result of the City’s nondisclosure of Licensor/Vendor’s information.

 

1.6.6  Equitable Remedies. Vendor acknowledges that unauthorized disclosure of Confidential Information or misuse of Customer Network will result in irreparable harm to Customer. In the event of a breach or threatened breach of this Agreement, Customer may obtain equitable relief prohibiting the breach, in addition to any other appropriate legal or equitable relief.

 

1.7.1  Provision of Audit Reports. Vendor shall provide Customer’s internal auditor or external auditor, and their designees, as well as Customer’s Auditor, with a copy of all reports, including any management letters issued as a result of the specified audits. The internal auditor or external auditor, and their designees, as well as Customer’s Auditor, shall be given the right, and the necessary access, to review the work papers of the audits if Customer deems it necessary. Audits will be performed in accordance with the Records Retention schedule below.

 

1.7.2  Overpayment. If an audit discloses that payments to Vendor were in excess of the amount to which Vendor was entitled, then Vendor shall repay the amount of the excess to Customer. Under no circumstances will the payment of previous invoices constitute an acceptance of the charges associated with those invoices. If any audit shows performance of Services is not efficient in accordance with Government Auditing Standards, or that the Services are not effective in accordance with Government Auditing Standards, Customer may pursue remedies as provided under Early Termination of Contract and Remedies. In addition, Vendor agrees to abide by the standards of the Office of the Comptroller set forth in May 2002 Office of Justice Programs (OJP) Financial Guide, including without limitation in accordance with Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circulars A87, A-102, A-122, A-128, A-133. All financial records, supporting documents, statistical records and all other records pertinent to this Agreement shall be retained by Vendor for a minimum of five (5) years for purposes of State of Oregon or the OJP Financial Guide from the Office of the Comptroller and apprise itself of all rules and regulations set forth.

 

1.7.3  Records Retention. Vendor agrees to maintain and retain supporting fiscal documents adequate to ensure that claims for a period of three (3) years after the date of submission of the final billing or until the resolution of all audit questions, whichever is longer.

Vendor agrees to make available at reasonable times, and for reasonable periods, books, records and supporting documents kept current by Vendor pertaining to the Agreement for purposes of inspecting, monitoring, auditing or evaluation by Customer’s personnel, or their designated representatives upon prior written notice from Customer.
