Subject: [EXTERNAL] OPRA request - Open Public Records Act Request
 
Dear Raritan Borough,

Please accept this electronic request for public records made under OPRA
and the common law right of access.  I am not required to fill out an
official form or use a particular software platform to submit my request
per NJSA 47:1A-6(f), which states that an email from a requestor including
all of the information required on the adopted form shall suffice in place
of a completed form as a valid government record request.

I HAVE NOT been convicted of any indictable offense under the laws of New
Jersey, any other state, or the United States.

I WILL NOT use the requested government records for a commercial purpose.

I AM NOT seeking records in connection with a legal proceeding.

Records requested:

All proposals, submissions, or responses received by the Phillipsburg in
reply to any Request for Proposals (RFPs) or Request for Quotes (RFQs)
issued for engineering services between August 1, 2024 and March 31, 2025.

This request includes, but is not limited to:

Complete proposal packages submitted by engineering firms;

Responses to any RFPs or RFQs;

Any cover letters or transmittal documents accompanying those submissions.

For clarity, I am not requesting internal drafts, evaluations, or
deliberative materials created by the Phillipsburg. I am seeking only the
final submissions received from engineering firms during the timeframe
listed above.

My preferred delivery method for response(s) to this request is by E-mail
as attachments.  Please confirm you have received this request.  If you
are not the custodian of records, please forward my request to that person
and provide their email address to me for future reference.

Yours faithfully,

Deborah Watson
