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.

1. All evaluation information from the selection

We understand that certain records maintained by your agency may contain information designated by third parties as confidential, proprietary, or trade secret.

If, despite these precautions, our organization inadvertently receives records containing confidential or proprietary information belonging to another party, we will promptly delete or permanently remove those materials from our systems upon notice or discovery and will not further disseminate or use them in any way.
