From: Nick Surgey

To Whom It May Concern:

On behalf of Documented and the Intercept, pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act, I hereby request the following:

All records relating to the EPA contract with and services provided by Secure Mission Solutions LLC under Procurement Identifier EPW13013 (Security System Design and Installation Project for the EPA Headquarters Complex). A search may be limited to records created between January 1, 2018 and the date that a response is processed.

The requester is entitled to a fee waiver because he is a member of the news media, and because this request for records concerns activities or operations of the government. Disclosure of the requested records will likely increase public understanding of government operations since the requester has the ability and the intention, through the means described below, to effectively convey information contained within the requested records to a broad public audience. Requester is an investigative journalist and the co-director of Documented, an investigative watchdog and reporting group that explores the relationship between industry and government. Nick Surgey writes for the Intercept.

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 20 business days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

Nick Surgey
Co-Director
