Contracts - TCF Regional Care Center and Suburban Collection Showcase Field Hospitals

To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the Michigan Freedom of Information Act, I hereby request the following records:

1. All contracts, subcontracts, and budget plans related to the planning, funding, construction, and closure of the TCF Regional Care Center located in Detroit, MI between the dates of 3/1/2020 and 10/5/2020.

- For further clarification about the TCF field hospital I am referring to, see this article: https://www.abc12.com/content/news/Michigans-first-coronavirus-field-hospital-opens-in-Detroit-569540791.html

2. All contracts, subcontracts, and budget plans related to the planning, funding, construction, and closure of the Suburban Collection Showplace Field Hospital located in Novi, MI between the dates of 3/1/2020 and 10/5/2020.

- For further clarification about the Novi field hospital I am referring to, see to this article: https://www.mlive.com/galleries/ZBMVCJC4ZBDIJB33GCSB2TVYZU/

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

In order to help determine my status for fees, you should know that I am a freelance journalist whose work has been published by print and digital news outlets and magazines in Michigan and in other states, as well as by national outlets. You can view my portfolio at www.erinmariemiller.com/journalism.

Disclosure of the requested information to me is in the public interest because it is likely to contribute significantly to public understanding of the operations or activities of the government and is not primarily in my commercial interest.

Because this request is being made as part of a news-gathering effort with a high likelihood of publication, and because the requested information has already been provided to other parties as part of a lawsuit, I request a waiver of all fees.


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 am willing to pay up to $25 for the requested information. If there is a fee that exceeds that amount, please notify me prior to initiating work on the request.

I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available, or CD-ROM if not.

Please deliver all responsive documents to this email address only.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 5 business days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

Erin Marie Miller
