Dear Brick Township,
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:
I am requesting access to the following public records regarding the Township of Brick’s paving equipment, specifically for the time period from January 1, 2024 through July 15, 2025:

The projected or estimated return-to-service date for the paving machine(s).
Any temporary measures taken by the Township, such as equipment rentals or outside contractor use, in place of the downed paving machine(s).
