The University has reviewed your request. The responsive document(s) is
now available to you through the Rutgers University Open Records Center.
Please log in to the [2]Records Center and "My Records Center" to retrieve
the appropriate responsive document(s). The document(s) is also attached
to this email for your convenience. 

N.J.S.A. 47:1A-1.1.12 Information which, if disclosed, would give an
advantage to competitors or bidders 

Please be advised that your request for the bid tabulation, which includes
the bid amounts from the vendors not selected for this project, is denied
because the public release of the information contained therein may
discourage potential vendors or service providers from bidding on future
projects, the result of which would place the University at a competitive
disadvantage in future bidding processes. Therefore, that portion of your
request is denied under N.J.S.A. 47:1A-1.1. 

 
If your request has been denied, you may take your appeal to the New
Jersey Government Records Council (NJGRC), which has mediation and dispute
resolution procedures, or you may file a lawsuit with the New Jersey
Superior Court, as provided by N.J.S.A. 47:1A-1, et seq. Your rights of
appeal is provided with this letter at [3]Public Facing Pages of the
Rutgers University Open Public Records Request Center. You may also review
the brochure at the [4]Rutgers Custodian of Records page or visit the
[5]NJGRC page.
