To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the Massachusetts Public Records Law, M.G.L. c.66, §10, I hereby request the following records:

Responsive materials should include but not be limited to:
• the initial Invitation to Bid, Request for Proposal, or equivalent call for contractors
• the responsive materials provided by the winning bidder
• all other vendor responses
• all evaluation material, scorecards, reports, and notes generated in the selection process
• the current contract
• all exhibits
• all amendments
• all commission reports for services utilized through JPay or Securus, containing all segregable data, including but not limited to commissions differentiated by service type, timeframe, etc.
• all related invoices related to installation, operation, and maintenance of equipment or services
I also request that, if appropriate, fees be waived as we believe this request is in the public interest, as suggested but not stipulated by the recommendations of the Massachusetts Supervisor of Public Records. The requested documents will be made available to the general public free of charge as part of the public information service at MuckRock.com, processed by a representative of the news media/press and is made in the process of news gathering and not for commercial usage.
I expect the request to be filled in an accessible format, including for screen readers, which provide text-to-speech for persons unable to read print. Files that are not accessible to screen readers include, for example, .pdf image files as well as physical documents.
In the event that fees cannot be waived, 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,
Beryl Lipton

To whom it may concern,
Please remove us from your automatic cue of emails once you’ve received our replies to your initial requests. We have for nearly two years been receiving repetitive emails about the same subjects that have already been responded to, and would greatly appreciate it if you would update your system.
Thank you,
Peter

Peter, hello-
As noted in my other replies to your blanket response, there is no record of any response from your department in our system, ergo our automatic responses. If you can please provide more information as to when a response was provided, or even re-send your final response, we'd be happy to turn off the follow-ups. Thank you.

Dear Beryl:
I have been advised by Peter VanDelft that he is continually receiving this request periodocally since September 24, 2015. Russell Homsy of the General Counsel's office replied to your request quite some time ago; and, this should have been relayed to Muckrock by you so that Mr. VanDelft does not continually receive unwarranted emails. Your request is not the only request that this happens with. I have tried to contact someone at Muckrock; but, the address has no actual person working at it with a phone number to contact. I will be sending a request today to take Peter VanDelft off of this auto email from you to:
MuckRock
DEPT MR 21500
411A Highland Ave
Somerville, MA 02144-2516
I am attaching your requests for your reference.
