IN CONNECTION WITH THE WORK provided to the City of Fort Collins (the CITY) pursuant to
this AGREEMENT (the AGREEMENT), the PROFESSIONAL hereby acknowledges that it has
been informed that the CITY has established policies and procedures with regard to the handling
of confidential information and other sensitive materials.
In consideration of access to certain information, data and material (hereinafter individually and

to the CITY or its employees, customers or suppliers, which access is related to the performance
of the Work that the PROFESSIONAL has agreed to perform, the PROFESSIONAL hereby
acknowledges and agrees as follows:
That information that has or will come into its possession or knowledge in connection with the
performance of the Work for the CITY may be confidential and/or proprietary. The
PROFESSIONAL agrees to treat as confidential (a) all information that is owned by the CITY, or
that relates to the business of the CITY, or that is used by the CITY in carrying on business, and
(b) all information that is proprietary to a third party (including but not limited to customers and
suppliers of the CITY). The PROFESSIONAL shall not disclose any such information to any
person not having a legitimate need-to-know for purposes authorized by the CITY. Further, the
PROFESSIONAL shall not use such information to obtain any economic or other benefit for itself,
or any third party, except as specifically authorized by the CITY.
The foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, the PROFESSIONAL understands that it shall have
no obligation under this AGREEMENT with respect to information and material that (a) becomes
generally known to the public by publication or some means other than a breach of duty of this
AGREEMENT, or (b) is required by law, regulation or court order to be disclosed, provided that
the request for disclosure is proper and the disclosure does not exceed that which is required. In
the event of any disclosure under (b) above, the PROFESSIONAL shall furnish a copy of this
AGREEMENT to anyone to whom it is required to make such disclosure and shall promptly advise
the CITY in writing of each disclosure.
In the event that the PROFESSIONAL ceases to perform the Work for the CITY, or the CITY so
requests for any reason, the PROFESSIONAL shall promptly return to the CITY any and all
information described hereinabove, including all copies, notes and/or summaries (handwritten or
mechanically produced) thereof, in its possession or control or as to which it otherwise has
access.
The PROFESSIONAL understands and agrees that the CITY’s remedies at law for a breach of
the PROFESSIONAL’s obligations under this Confidentiality Agreement may be inadequate and
that the CITY shall, in the event of any breach, be entitled to seek equitable relief (including
without limitation preliminary and permanent injunctive relief and specific performance) in addition
to all other remedies provided hereunder or available at law.
