A person
must be certified by the board as qualified prior to participating in any
bidding for state forest timber offered for sale under the provisions of this
chapter as described in subsection (1) of section 58-1004, Idaho Code. In
support of such certification, each bidder shall present at the request of the
board the timber purchase and disposition records described in this section.
Such records shall show the cumulative annual purchases and disposition of
timber from state forests for the years preceding the date of the timber sale;
provided, however, that in no event shall the disposition of timber from a
sale prior to the effective date of this chapter be considered. Any person
seeking certification who has not previously purchased timber from state
forests shall provide the board with the names and addresses of all persons
who have any financial interest in the purchase or disposition of the timber,
whether such interest results from open loans, mortgages, conditional sales,
contracts, silent partnerships, trusts, or any other basis other than trade
accounts incurred in the ordinary course of business, and the amounts of such
interests. Persons seeking certification shall further provide any other
information the board reasonably requires to determine whether such person is
a qualified bidder as defined herein. In determining the status of a person,
the board may take into consideration other evidence, such as scaling records,
load tickets for vehicles transporting forest products, and other written and
oral testimony. The information received pursuant to this section shall be
subject to disclosure according to chapter 3, title 9, Idaho Code, and shall
not be available to the general public unless the person seeking to become a
qualified bidder authorizes a release of such information.
