Good morning,
Thank you so much for this information, much appreciated!
I'm seeing on the schedule that the chosen contractor will be notified on Monday, 3/4/19 and the project as a whole should be done by the summer of this year. I can file a separate CPRA for this, but I would like to see the submitted bids on 2/26. Again, if I need to file a separate CPRA, for those materials, I can.
Again, thanks for all your help!

Good morning,
This is in response to your Public Records Request below. Specifically you requested:
I'm seeing on the schedule that the chosen contractor will be notified on Monday, 3/4/19 and the project as a whole should be done by the summer of this year. I can file a separate CPRA for this, but I would like to see the submitted bids on 2/26. Again, if I need to file a separate CPRA, for those materials, I can.
Please note, dates in the schedule are subject to changes. Currently the bid for contract remains subject to negotiation. Government Code section 6255(a) allows an agency to withhold a record when the public interest served by withholding the record clearly outweighs the public interest in disclosure. For this reason, any responsive bids for this project cannot be produced at this time because they relate to a bid for a contract which remains subject to negotiation. The interest in keeping the bid proposal materials confidential outweighs the public interest in disclosure, until the negotiations have been completed. (Michaelis, Montanari & Johnson v. Superior Court (2006) 38 Cal.4th 1065.) Moreover, the Public Records Act exempts from disclosure "[p]reliminary drafts, notes, or interagency or intra-agency memoranda that are not retained by the public agency in the ordinary course of business, if the public interest in withholding those records clearly outweighs the public interest in disclosure." (Gov. Code § 6254(a).) Such drafts and other records responsive to your request may contain official and privileged information that reveals deliberative process, and is therefore exempt. (Times Mirror Company v. Superior Court (1991) 53 Cal.3d 1325, 1338; Evid. Code § 1040.)
Please be advised that the Executive Office only keeps and maintains official records of the Board of Supervisors and Countywide Communications keeps and maintains official records of the Chief Executive Office. Both offices do not perform this function for all departments, agencies, commissions, etc. of the County of Los Angeles. Requests for County public records should be made directly to the responsible department or agency, head, commission or committee secretary, or his or her designee as identified on the website of the department, agency or committee. A list of County departments, agencies, commissions, and committees is available on the County's website at:
