1 NEW CASTLE COUNTY I I :
BEING FIRST DULY SWORN, according to law, PATRICIA CREEDON did depose and
state as follows: ”
1. That she is President of Creedon Controls, Inc., Plaintiff in this action; and she
makes this Affidavit in opposition to the claim of Defendants that the bid and pricing data of
other trades involved in the Project is "confidential” or "highIy confidential."
I 2. That bid and pricing data is composed of numerous elements. Most contractors,
and particularly electrical contractors, and, to my knowledge, all contractors bidding oneither
Banc One Data Center projects are members of the National Electrical Contractors Association
("NECA"). There are therefore fixed wages and fringe benefits.
3. Another factor is unemployment and worker’s compensation insurance costs
which are fixed and cannot be adjusted. Knowing the cost of competitors is of no significance.
4. The determination of profit and overhead desired is the subjective factor in such

Case 1 :05-cv-OO300—JJF Document 80 Filed 05/O4/2006 Page 2 of 2
pricing. Profit and overhead are driven by the desires of a company, and by volume and costs for
each company for a given year. After that year, and certainly after the passage of two to three
years, such data becomes stale, and would provide no competitive advantage to other contractors
in the same trade.
4. That Defendants have refused to provide the contract balance and any damage for
l delays. Because of their efforts to "squeeze" Creedon Controls, Inc., and in order to minimize
costs, it is imperative that I become personally involved in this litigation, and review evidence _
and assist counsel for CCI to review of documents and in preparation of this case for trial.
