Dear Union County Clerk,

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 fire alarm and fire extinguisher invoices (Service, Installation, Inspections Etc.) from 2019 to present that were for government buildings

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,

Tony Michael

Dear Mr. Michael,

I am writing to obtain clarification regarding your OPRA request dated
October 23, 2025, seeking all fire alarm and fire extinguisher invoices
(services, installations, inspections, etc.) from 2019 to the present for
government buildings. (As your OPRA request was sent to several county
offices under several different email addresses, those email addresses are
copied on this response. Please note that you need only send OPRA requests
to [1][email address].)

Please be advised that the request, as written, is overbroad and
extensive, and would require the custodian to conduct research. Under
OPRA, a records custodian is obligated to search for identifiable
government records specifically described in a request; however, the
custodian is not required to research files to determine which records, if
any, might be responsive to a broad or unclear request.

Additionally, due to the potentially large volume of responsive records
and the time and effort required to locate and review them, processing the
request as submitted would cause a substantial disruption to the
operations of this office. In accordance with OPRA, if a request for
access to government records would substantially disrupt agency
operations, the custodian may deny access after informing the requestor of
the potential disruption and attempting to reach a reasonable solution
that accommodates both parties.

To that end, please advise if you wish to narrow the scope of your request
to make it more manageable, and specify any particular buildings,
departments, or a more limited time frame. Thank you for your attention to
this matter. – Marlena
