CONFIDENTIALITY
IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICES to be provided by Professional under this
Agreement, the parties agree to comply with reasonable policies and procedures with regard to
the exchange and handling of confidential information and other sensitive materials between the
parties, as set forth below.
1. UDefinitionsU.
For purposes of this Agreement, the party who owns the confidential information and is
disclosing same shall be referenced as the “Disclosing Party.” The party receiving the
Disclosing Party’s confidential information shall be referenced as the “Receiving Party.”
2. UConfidential InformationU.
Confidential Information controlled by this Agreement refers to information which is not
public and/or is proprietary and includes by way of example, but without limitation, City
customer information, utility data, service billing records, customer equipment information,
location information, network security system, business plans, formulae, processes,
intellectual property, trade secrets, designs, photographs, plans, drawings, schematics,
methods, specifications, samples, reports, mechanical and electronic design drawings,
customer lists, financial information, studies, findings, inventions, and ideas.
To the extent practical, Confidential Information shall be marked “Confidential” or
“Proprietary.” Nevertheless, Professional shall treat as Confidential Information all customer
identifiable information in any form, whether or not bearing a mark of confidentiality or
otherwise requested by the City, including but not limited to account, address, billing,
consumption, contact and other customer data. In the case of disclosure in non-
documentary form of non-customer identifiable information, made orally or by visual
inspection, the Disclosing Party shall have the right, or, if requested by the Receiving Party,
the obligation to confirm in writing the fact and general nature of each disclosure within a
reasonable time after it is made in order that it is treated as Confidential Information. Any
information disclosed to the other party prior to the execution of this Agreement and related
to the services for which Professional has been engaged shall be considered in the same
manner and be subject to the same treatment as the information disclosed after the
execution of this Agreement with regard to protecting it as Confidential Information.
3. UUse of Confidential Information.
Receiving Party hereby agrees that it shall use the Confidential Information solely for the
purpose of performing its obligations under this Agreement and not in any way detrimental
to Disclosing Party. Receiving Party agrees to use the same degree of care Receiving Party
uses with respect to its own proprietary or confidential information, which in any event shall
result in a reasonable standard of care to prevent unauthorized use or disclosure of the
Confidential Information. Except as otherwise provided herein, Receiving Party shall keep
confidential and not disclose the Confidential Information. The City and Professional shall
cause each of their directors, officers, employees, agents, representatives, and
subcontractors to become familiar with, and abide by, the terms of this section, which shall
survive this Agreement as an on-going obligation of the Parties.
Professional shall not use such information to obtain any economic or other benefit for itself,
or any third party, other than in the performance of obligations under this Agreement.

4. UExclusions from DefinitionU.
The term “Confidential Information” as used herein does not include any data or information
which is already known to the Receiving Party or which before being divulged by the
Disclosing Party (1) was generally known to the public through no wrongful act of the
Receiving Party; (2) has been rightfully received by the Receiving Party from a third party
without restriction on disclosure and without, to the knowledge of the Receiving Party, a
breach of an obligation of confidentiality; (3) has been approved for release by a written
authorization by the other party hereto; or (4) has been disclosed pursuant to a requirement
of a governmental agency or by operation of law.
5. URequired Disclosure.
If the Receiving Party is required (by interrogatories, requests for information or documents,
subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process, or by federal, state, or local law,
including without limitation, the Colorado Open Records Act) to disclose any Confidential
Information, the Parties agree the Receiving Party will provide the Disclosing Party with
prompt notice of such request, so the Disclosing Party may seek an appropriate protective
order or waive the Receiving Party’s compliance with this Agreement.
The Receiving Party shall furnish a copy of this Agreement with any disclosure.
6. Notwithstanding paragraph 5, Professional shall not disclose Confidential Information to any
person, directly or indirectly, nor use it in any way, except as required or authorized in
writing by the City.
7. URed Flags RulesU.
Professional must implement reasonable policies and procedures to detect, prevent and
mitigate the risk of identity theft in compliance with the Identity Theft Red Flags Rules found
at 16 Code of Federal Regulations part 681. Further, Professional must take appropriate
steps to mitigate identity theft if it occurs with one or more of the City’s covered accounts
and must as expeditiously as possible notify the City in writing of significant breeches of
security or Red Flags to the City.
8. UData Protection and Data SecurityU.
In addition to the requirements of paragraph 7, Professional shall have in place information
security safeguards designed to conform to or exceed industry best practices regarding the
protection of the confidentiality, integrity and availability of utility and customer information
and shall have written agreements requiring any subcontractor to meet those standards.
These information security safeguards (the “Information Security Program”) shall be
materially consistent with, or more stringent than, the safeguards described in this Exhibit.
a) Professional’s information security safeguards shall address the following elements:
• Data Storage, Backups and Disposal
• Logical Access Control (e.g., Role-Based)
• Information Classification and Handling
• Secure Data Transfer (SFTP and Data Transfer Specification)
• Secure Web Communications

b) USubcontractorsU. Professional may use subcontractors, though such activity shall not
release or absolve Professional from the obligation to satisfy all conditions of this
Agreement, including the data security measures described in this Exhibit, and to require
a substantially similar level of data security, appropriate to the types of services provided
and Customer Data received, for any subcontractor Professional may use. Accordingly,
any release of data, confidential information, or failure to protect information under this
Agreement by a subcontractor or affiliated party shall be attributed to Professional and
may be considered to be a material breach of this Agreement.
9. Confidential Information is not to be stored on any local workstation, laptop, or media such
as CD/DVD, USB drives, external hard drives or other similar portable devices unless the
Professional can ensure security for the Confidential Information so stored. Work stations or
laptops to be used in the Work will be required to have personal firewalls on each, as well as
have current, active anti-virus definitions.
10. The Agreement not to disclose Confidential Information as set forth in this Exhibit shall apply
during the term of the Work and at any time thereafter unless specifically authorized by the
City in writing.
11. If Professional breaches this Agreement, in the City’s sole discretion, the City may
immediately terminate this Agreement and withdraw Professional’s right to access
Confidential Information.
12. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, all material, i.e., various physical
forms of media in which Confidential Information is contained, including but not limited to
writings, drawings, tapes, diskettes, prototypes or products, shall remain the sole property of
the Disclosing Party and, upon request, shall be promptly returned, together with all copies
thereof to the Disclosing Party. Upon such return of physical records, all digital and
electronic data shall also be deleted in a non-restorable way by which it is no longer
available to the Receiving Party. Written verification of the deletion (including date of
deletion) is to be provided to the Disclosing Party within ten (10) days after completion of
engagement, whether it be via termination, completion or otherwise.
13. Professional acknowledges that the City may, based upon the representations made in this
Agreement, disclose security information that is critical to the continued success of the City’s
business. Accordingly, Professional agrees that the City does not have an adequate remedy
at law for breach of this Agreement and therefore, the City shall be entitled, as a non-
exclusive remedy, and in addition to an action for damages, to seek and obtain an injunction
or decree of specific performance or any other remedy, from a court of competent
jurisdiction to enjoin or remedy any violation of this Agreement.
