Good afternoon,
In reading over your request below, other than some words being rearraigned and items # 5 (that would be at no charge as those documents would take 30 minutes to process ) and #6 (that you can get off our website at no charge) the cost estimate would remain the same. There are 17,600 pages to read for redaction plus the estimated 450 hours to provide these documents and check for redactions (at a charge of $15.00 per hour) This is where the large cost estimate comes from.
Please let me know if you would like to refine your request any more.
Sincerely,
Records Supervisor
