Definitions
Sustainable Purchasing is a process for selecting products or services that have a lesser or
reduced negative effect on human health and the environment when compared with
competing products or services that serve the same purpose. This process is also known as
“Environmentally Preferable Purchasing” (EPP), or “Green Purchasing”.
The Triple Bottom Line (TBL) is an accounting framework that incorporates three
dimensions of performance: economic, or financial; environmental, and social. The generally
accepted definition of Andrew Savitz for TBL is that it “captures the essence of sustainability
by measuring the impact of an organization’s activities on the world…including both its
profitability and shareholders values and its social, human, and environmental capital.”

IN CONNECTION WITH SERVICES provided to the City of Fort Collins (the “City”), as agent, on
behalf of the Poudre Fire Authority (the “PFA”) pursuant to this Agreement (the “Agreement”), the
Service Provider 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
collectively, regardless of nature, referred to as “information”) that are the property of and/or relate
to the City and/or PFA or their employees, customers or suppliers, which access is related to the
performance of services that the Service Provider has agreed to perform, the Service Provider
hereby acknowledges and agrees as follows:
That information that has or will come into its possession or knowledge in connection with the
performance of services for the City and/or PFA may be confidential and/or proprietary. The
Service Provider agrees to treat as confidential (a) all information that is owned by the City and/or
PFA, or that relates to the business of the City and/or PFA, or that is used by the City and/or PFA
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 and/or PFA). The Service Provider shall not disclose
any such information to any person not having a legitimate need-to-know for purposes authorized
by the City and/or PFA. Further, the Service Provider 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
and/or PFA.
The foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, the Service Provider 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 such disclosure is proper and the disclosure does not exceed that which is required.
In the event of any disclosure under (b) above, the Service Provider shall furnish a copy of this
Agreement to anyone to whom it is required to make such disclosure and shall promptly advise
the City and/or PFA in writing of each such disclosure.
In the event that the Service Provider ceases to perform services for the City and/or PFA, or the
City and/or PFA so requests for any reason, the Service Provider shall promptly return to the City
and/or PFA 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 Service Provider understands and agrees that the City and/or PFA’s remedies at law for a
breach of the Service Provider’s obligations under this Confidentiality Agreement may be
inadequate and that the City and/or PFA shall, in the event of any such 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.
