This is a request under the Freedom of Information Act. I hereby request the following records:

-All instruction documents or contracts to address underlying issues, as referenced by Chief of Construction Operations, Norbert Suter in the Wall Street Journal article: "the cause of the electrical issues was identified by the team, and is currently being corrected by the contractor."
-The contract with KlingStubbins for the Bluffdale data center electrical system
-The most recent electrical bill for the Bluffdale data center

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 20 business days, as the statute requires.

Dear Mr. Musgrave,

This email responds to the automated status checks submitted for Case 75497. This case is still in our complex backlog queue, pending assignment to a first level review. Please be advised that each case must go through two levels of review before a release determine can be made. Given the volume of our backlog and the fluctuation of queue placement due to consults from other agencies that predate your request, it's likely that your case may not be assigned to a first level review within the next 12 months. At this time, the estimated completion date is approximately three (3) years.

We appreciate your patience thus far.

Regards.
