Subject: Minnesota Government Data Practices Act Request: Minnesota POST Salesforce Contract 2023-10-3
To Whom It May Concern:

This is a public records request made via MuckRock under the MN Data Practices Act.

This request is brought by Big Local News along with a collaboration of news organizations, including ABC News, KQED, MuckRock, the Invisible Institute and other news organizations. Big Local News is a program of Stanford University's Journalism and Democracy Initiative and helps journalists collect, process and analyze public data.

We request copies of any of the following documents relating to MN POST's contract for its Salesforce database:

* RFP
* Bid submitted in response to RFP
* Contract, appendices, and addenda
* Guides or manuals for use of software

We are seeking this information as a news media organization on a matter of public interest concerning the conduct of government. As such, we ask for a waiver of all fees, if allowed under state law. If fees are necessary to reimburse the agency for actual costs, we agree to pay up to $100. If costs exceed that amount, please let us know before fulfilling the request.

Please send clarifications and questions via electronic communication at any time. Thank you very much for your time and attention to this request.

Sam Stecklow
Invisible Institute
