COVID-19 UPDATE: Pursuant to a mandated quarantine or other mandates that will affect our staffing levels, there may be a delay in the City’s response to public records requests. Be advised, all records requests will be responded to as promptly as possible as they are received.

Dear Michael Morisy:

Thank you for your interest in public records of the City of Jacksonville. Your request has been received and is being processed in accordance with Chapter 119 of the Florida Statutes, the Public Records Act. Your request was received in this office on 8/29/2021 and given the reference number R026504-082921 for tracking purposes.
Records Requested: To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the Florida Sunshine Law, I hereby request the following records:

All contracts for business and professional services signed by the city — including, but not limited to, information technology, finance, consulting and engineering contracts — with third party vendors.

I request contracts with business and professional services vendors that bill the city on an hourly or project basis for work performed by non-public employees, who are sometimes referred to as “subcontractor employees,” “contract employees,” or “consultants.”

I also request:

- Any lists of contracts the city has with providers of business and professional services.
- Any contract riders and additional documentation that details or defines the scope of contract,
- Any records containing the number of subcontractor employees, occupations, total number of hours worked, and total amount payable to each contractor.
data purchase, licensing, or exchange agreements.
- Any policy documents that detail aspects of the sub-contractor relationship, including worker protections, non-competes, language and provisions regarding collective bargaining agreements, and employment policy documents for contractors.
- Any vendor distribution lists for related requests for proposals.

This request is not limited to, but specifically includes, all contracts with the following companies:

Deloitte, Accenture, IBM, PricewaterhouseCoopers, H&R Block, Booz Allen Hamilton Inc., SAIC Inc., KPMG, Ernst & Young, Automatic Data Processing Inc., CACI International Inc, Leidos, AECOM Technology, Jacobs Engineering Group Inc., Mantech International Corp., Computer Sciences Corporation, URS Corporation, Parsons Brinckerhoff, Envision, Covance Incorporated, XPO Logistics, CGI Group, NTT Data, Capgemini, Infosys, Schlumberger, HDR Inc, Sirius Computer, Paychex, Serco, Quintiles, SRA International Inc, Ciber Inc, Wipro, Wolters Kluwer, First Data, Grant Thornton, Bechtel, PAE Inc, Viva USA, Black & Veatch, Tetra Tech, Alorica, McKinsey & Company, Tata Consultancy Services, Sapient, First Data, Unisys, Gartner Incorporated, Public Consulting Group

I request any responsive documents generated between January 1, 2016 and the date this request is processed. If there are ways to modify or change the scope of my request to reduce the burden on agency resources, please let me know.

If over the past six months you’ve responded to another requester with information on contracts that likely covers substantially similar material and re-releasing that same material instead of a new search reduces the burden on agencies resources, please let me know and I’m happy to consider accepting that instead of requiring a new search.

I also request that, if appropriate, fees be waived as we believe this request is in the public interests. The requested documents will be made available to the general public free of charge and is made in the process of public policy research news gathering and not for commercial usage.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 10 business days.

Sincerely,

Michael Morisy

Michael,

I am in receipt of your request below. As worded, your request is extremely broad and would be unreasonably burdensome for the City to fulfill. There are no search terms and no limitations on what you are asking for from the Consolidated City and all of its agencies. The City cannot complete this request as stated, and even if it could, the time frame would be long and the costs involved would likely be in the tens of thousands of dollars.

I would suggest that if you are looking for City contracts, you specify which exact contracts you want. Then I can provide you with a cost estimate to produce specific individual contracts.

Thank you.

Craig D. Feiser
Assistant General Counsel
City of Jacksonville
