18         Section 3.  The Legislature finds that the exemption

19  from public records requirements for bids, proposals, or

20  replies pursuant to invitations to bid, requests for

21  proposals, or invitations to negotiate is a public necessity.

22  These documents contain information relating to the business

23  practices of the vendors and premature disclosure would offer

24  their competitors an unfair advantage in the procurement

25  process.  Unless these records contain trade secrets or other

26  information made exempt or confidential, they will be

27  available for public inspection later in the procurement

28  process.
