enumerate the specific grounds, based on applicable laws which support treatment of the material as exempt from disclosure, and explain why disclosure is not in the best interest to the public if the information is incorporated into an awarded contract; and
submit all such information considered confidential either under separate cover or copied in a separate section of the bid as required. Failure to comply with this requirement may result in the decision to not consider bidder's confidential claim.
