The Nielsen Team is reques ng that the informa on set forth in Volume II of this proposal be categorized as confi den al. The contents of Volume II have been prepared to specifi cally address the Conceptual Phase of the Virginia Public-Private Educa on Facili es and Infrastructure Act of 2002 (PPEA) for what is being cap oned the Nielsen Team Program and includes the professional work product of Crabtree, Rohrbaugh, & Associates Architects, Valley Engineering, and Nielsen Builders, Inc. Disclosure of the drawings, memoranda, working papers, fi nancial summaries and projec ons, fi nancing models, pro- posed costs per square foot and the conclusions drawn from those materials would adversely aff ect the fi nancial interests of each of the team members as well as the compe ve bargaining posi on of Nielsen Builders, Inc. The work product contained in Volume II represents the results of hundreds of hours spent by members of Nielsen Builders, its designers, and the professional fees associated with the me spent in the prepa- ra on of this "qualifying project" as that phrase is defi ned by the PPEA. Subsec on 56-575.4 G of the PPEA imposes an obliga on on a public en ty and any aff ected local juris- dic on to protect confi den al and proprietary informa on submi ed by en es, such as Nielsen Build- ers, Inc., when the public en ty has agreed to do so. In this context, Nielsen Builders, Inc. is invoking the exclusion under Sec on 2.2-3705.6 of the FOIA as of the date the data and materials contained in Vol- ume II are submi ed to the public en ty, given the adverse impact of the disclosure regarding the com- pe ve bargaining posi on of Nielsen Builders, Inc. and the associated adverse fi nancial consequences.
