To Eddie Weeks (Legislative Librarian):

Under the Tennessee Open Records Act, ยง10-7-503 et seq., I am requesting an opportunity to inspect or obtain copies of public records that:

- Active contracts with third-party vendors exceeding $50,000 for medical services that are provided to individuals in the custody of the Tennessee Department of Corrections (TDOC)
- Proposed contracts with third-party vendors exceeding $50,000 for medical services that are provided to individuals in the custody of the TDOC
- The enacted TDOC budget for the fiscal year 2021
- A list of all medical institutions external to the TDOC which provide inpatient and outpatient services to the individuals in TDOC custody

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 filed electronically, by e-mail attachment if available, or CD-ROM if not. However, we respectfully request a waiver of these fees as we are affiliated with an educational or noncommercial scientific institution, and this request is made for a scholarly or scientific purpose and not for a commercial use.

Should you deny my request, or any part of the request, please state in writing the basis for the denial, including the exact statutory citation authorizing the denial as required by s. 119.07(1)(d), F.S. Also, please provide all segregable portions of otherwise exempt material.

The Tennessee Open Records Act requires a response time within seven days. If access to the records I am requesting will take longer than this amount of time, please contact me with information about when I might expect copies or the ability to inspect the requested records.

Thank you in advance for your assistance in this matter.

Sincerely,

Forrest Behne
