Dear Ms. Hamilton,
Your Open Public Records Act (ORPA) request sought access to the
following:

This is a request for public records made under OPRA and the common law
right of access. I am not required to fill out an official form. Please
acknowledge receipt of this message.
  Records requested:
Rates now being charged for Automatic Door System Service & Repair.
Are prevailing wages applicable?

This request seeks information or asks questions and does not identify
specific government records. As such, your request is an invalid OPRA
request and is denied. When a request is "complex" because it fails to
specifically identify the documents sought, then that request is not
"encompassed" by OPRA. See New Jersey Builders Association v. New Jersey
Council on Affordable Housing, 390 N.J. Super. 166, 180 (App. Div. 2007).
A proper request under OPRA must identify with reasonable clarity those
documents that are desired, and a party cannot satisfy this requirement by
simply requesting all of an agency's documents. See Bent v. Stafford
Police Department, 381 N.J. Super. 30,37 (App. Div.2005). Custodians are
not required to conduct research or create new records in response to an
OPRA request.
Sincerely,
Sara Siegler, Custodian of Record
