Oakland's Domain Awareness Center Contract

To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the California's Sunshine Amendment (Cal. Const. Art. I, § 3(b)), I hereby request the following records:

A full copy of all contracts and written agreements between the City of Oakland and Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) for all work related to construction of the Domain Awareness Center.

Please include all related invoices, equipment lists and work orders.

I also request that, if appropriate, fees be waived as I believe this request is in the public interest. 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.

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 business days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

Carlton Purvis

Thanks,

Thank you Annie. The check is in the mail.

Carlton

Thank you, Mr. Purvis,

Will you be coming to my office to pick up the copies?

Annie,

I originally requested digital copies if possible. And so far all of the pages I've been provided have been digital. What's the reason for the change?

Thanks,

Carlton

Dear Mr. Purvis

I can only provide you with the format that has been given to me. If I have the digital files, I will provide them to you. If I have the hard copies, then I will provide you with the hard copies. Many of the records that I get do not come in digital files.

Dear Mr. Purvis:

I am following up on your request for the DAC information. Are you still interested in obtaining these documents for $0.10 a page?

Hi Annie,

I am. I mailed a check for $35 last week. You should get it shortly.

Carlton

I haven't received any checks from you. Can you please confirm which address the check was sent to?

Thanks,
Annie To

Hi Annie,

The check was sent to: 150 Frank H. Ogawa Plaza 7th Floor Oakland, CA 94612, c/o you.

Carlton

Strange. I'm not showing the check has cleared either on my end. Please let me know if you don't get it by the middle of this week. It's been quite a while. I don't see why it wouldn't have been there by now.

If it's not by Wednesday, I'll cancel the check and send another one.

Carlton
