To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the California Public Records Act, I hereby request the following records:

[The timeframe for this request is January 1, 2019 until the present]

1) All contracts, statements/scopes of work, memorandums of understanding, or privacy agreements between the department and Idemia and/or Apple regarding mobile drivers licenses or other digital identity products.

2) All successful bidding documents submitted by Idemia and/or Apple in response to mobile drivers license or digital identity RFPs.

3) All advertising brochures, presentations, marketing communications, or other promotional material sent to the department by Idemia and/or Apple regarding mobile drivers licenses or other digital identity products.

I ask that all fees be waived as I intend to use the requested records to further public understanding of government functions and not for any commercial purpose. In the event you choose to impose fees, I request a detailed breakdown of the fees, including the hourly wage of each employee involved and an explanation justifying the employee hours required to fulfill the request.

Should you choose to reject this request or redact portions of responsive documents, I ask that you provide a detailed breakdown of the statutory exemptions and associated case law underlying your decision to withhold each/any portions from public review.

The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.

In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 10 calendar days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

Todd Feathers
