Each Respondent may clearly label all or part of a statement of qualifications as "CONFIDENTIAL" provided that the Respondent thereby agrees to indemnify and defend the City for honoring such a designation. The failure to so label any information that is released by the City shall constitute a complete waiver of any and all claims for damages caused by any release of the information. Respondent information identified as proprietary shall be maintained confidential, to the extent allowed under the California Public Records Act. S.
