OAR 731-005-0600
Receipt, Opening, and Recording of Offers

(1)

Receipt. ODOT shall electronically or mechanically time-stamp or hand-mark each Offer and any modification upon receipt, or provide a self-time-stamping device for use by Offerors for these purposes. ODOT shall not open the Bid or Proposal Price Offer or modification upon receipt, but shall maintain it as confidential and secure until Opening. If ODOT inadvertently opens a Bid or Proposal Price Offer or a modification prior to the Opening, ODOT shall return the Bid or Proposal Price or modification to its secure and confidential state until Opening. ODOT shall document the resealing for the procurement file (e.g. “Contracting Agency inadvertently opened the Offer due to improper identification of the Offer”).

(2)

Opening and recording. ODOT shall publicly open Bid or Proposal Price Offers including any modifications made to the Offer pursuant to OAR 731-005-0590 (Pre-Opening Modification or Withdrawal of Offers). To the extent practicable, ODOT shall read aloud the name of each Bidder or Price Proposer, the total of each Bid or Proposal Price, and such other information as ODOT considers appropriate. In the case of Requests for Proposals, if the Solicitation Document so provides, ODOT will not read Offers aloud.

(3)

Availability. After Opening, ODOT shall make Bids available for public inspection. Proposals are not subject to disclosure until after notice of intent to award is issued as specified in ORS 279C.410 (Receipt of proposals). In any event, ODOT may withhold from disclosure those portions of an Offer that the Offeror designates as trade secrets or as confidential proprietary data in accordance with applicable law. See ORS 192.501(2); 646.461 (Definitions for ORS 646.461 to 646.475) to 646.475 (Application and construction of ORS 646.461 to 646.475). To the extent ODOT determines such designation is not in accordance with applicable law, ODOT shall make those portions available for public inspection. The Offeror shall separate information designated as confidential from other non-confidential information at the time of submitting its Offer. Prices, makes, model or catalog numbers of items offered, scheduled delivery dates, and terms of payment are not confidential, and shall be publicly available regardless of an Offeror’s designation to the contrary.
