Response Notes

Responsive to this request, per clarification you are also seeking bid documents those can be provided via email/disk due to volume. Under MPIA GP § 4-335, which prevents disclosure of confidential trade secret, commercial or financial records furnished by an outside unit, biographical data (including resumes) on key employees and customer reference and valuation information (also under MPIA GP § 4-310) throughout the documents have been redacted as they have the potential to cause harm to the competitive position of the vendor from whom the information was obtained and/or impair our ability to obtain similar information in the future. Additionally, under MPIA GP § 4-330, we have redacted sociological information where it contained a personal phone number, government issued social security, citation, tag, badge, and driver license numbers, and/or has the potential to pose a risk to individual safety or privacy.
