By way of your OPRA request, you seek production of the following records:

-Also all bids for service through consortium service that were submitted for work on the Midland Park HVAC.
-Include the quoted price that was received through Automated Logic as well.

With regard to your request, the Board responds as follows in accordance with the provisions of OPRA:

Your request for all bids for service through consortium service that were submitted for work on the Midland Park HVAC is denied because there are no records responsive to your request. Purchasing groups or consortiums solicits bids for goods and services and the results are then made available to state-wide public entities. The district does not have or maintain the bidding documentation.

Your request for the quoted price that was received through Automated Logic as well is granted. The responsive document is enclosed herewith.
