Description of Public Request:
To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the Arizona Public Records Law, I hereby request the following
records:
This request for contract documents related to all smart
city technology purchased or in operation by this agency for the period from
1/1/2015 - present.
These smart city technologies include any contract
document that contains:
- The terms “smart city.”
- Internet of Things
(IoT) technologies (such as connected sensors, lights, and meters that collect
data).
- Mobility data collection (such as “intelligent transportation
system" or rideshare or cell-phone location data agreements).
- Video
technologies (such as “closed-circuit television,” traffic, security, or
streetlight cameras).
Specifically, I am requesting contract documents
to which this agency and any smart city technology vendor are parties. These
materials include:
- Any lists of related contracts.
- Any contracts,
including any pilot, proof-of-concept, and public-private partnership agreements.
- Any data purchase, licensing, or exchange agreements.
- Any privacy
policies or terms of use/service.
- Any vendor distribution lists for
related requests for proposals.
If another office would be a more
appropriate destination for this request, I would be happy to forward this
request according to your direction. If additional agencies or jurisdictions
would also have responsive or associated materials, the provision of the
names of those entities would also be appreciated.
These records
will be used to inform research on “smart city system” best practices as
part of Harvard Kennedy School’s Belfer Center for Science and International
Affairs’ Technology and Public Purpose (TAPP) Project that culminates in
May 2020. To accommodate this deadline and inclusion in analysis please expedite
this request so that it is filled by February 2020. Because of our not-for-profit
status and the fact that this request is about a matter in the public interest,
I request a fee waiver. If you have any questions or would like to discuss
narrowing the request, please contact me directly at rebeccawilliams@hks.harvard.edu
or ‪(857) 400-0323.
The requested documents will be made available
to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial
purposes.
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 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.
Sincerely,
Rebecca
