FOI #26-234 - Subject - CFOIA Request: UConn South Campus Infrastructure Project - '300241-2'

Name - Mark Zurada

Affiliation -

Please send the final and compiled bid tabulation (bid tally), including all quantities and unit pricing for each bidder, for 'UConn South Campus Infrastructure Project' that was submitted on 02/28/2023. I believe the project number is '300241-2', but I could be mistaken. If so, please use the project name and date to lookup the responsive documents. We specifically request the line-item bid tabulation showing each material, quantity, unit, and unit price for every bidder. If no such line-item tally was created, please provide the full bid submissions from each contractor. A grand total sheet alone is not sufficient to satisfy this request unless it was a lump sum bid.
Below is an example of the format we are looking for that the engineer usually creates at the completion of the bid:
BIDDER 1 BIDDER 2
Item # Material Quantity Unit UNIT PRICE TOTAL UNIT PRICE TOTAL
1 ... ... ... ... ... ... ...
GRAND TOTAL GRAND TOTAL
Common law access / Public interest justification / Fee waivers:
My public interest justification is as follows:
• Bid tabulations obtained through this request are made publicly available at no cost. This ensures that taxpayers, businesses, journalists, and policymakers have free access to procurement data that impacts public funds.
• Transparency and accountability: Publicly available bid results help prevent overpricing, bid-rigging, and favoritism in public contracts.
• Support for small businesses: Many firms, especially small and minority-owned businesses, rely on bid history to compete fairly in government contracting.
• Cost savings for taxpayers: Open access to bid tabulations promotes competition, leading to more cost-effective government spending.

FOI #26-230 (03-30-26, 2:59 pm) - Subject - Attendance Figures

Name - David Covucci

Affiliation - FOIAball

Pursuant to Connecticut's Freedom of Information Act (Chapter 14 Conn. Gen. Stats.), I am requesting the following documentation from either your school’s athletics department or any third-party firm involved in stadium operations.

Any spreadsheet or other documentation that shows the total number of tickets scanned by entry systems at home football games, including physical ticket scans, mobile phone bar or QR code scans, RFID entry logs, or any other system utilized by your school.

I am requesting data for every home football game for the 2025 season.

Please note, I am not requesting ticket sale figures or publicly announced attendance numbers. I am requesting the logged data generated when individuals enter the stadium.

I am happy to accept the aggregate totals for each game and do not need logs that show every single scan for every single individual. I am happy to accept just the totals (listed per game) and defer to your expertise in fulfilling this request in the simplest, easiest fashion. If the full logs are the best way, that’s fine too. If that is the case, I am happy to accept any redactions your school deems necessary to protect any personally identifiable information in the datasets.

Please note that Connecticut law requires public agencies to respond to requests within four days of receiving them by either processing or denying the request, or providing written notice requesting an extension.

As I am an independent journalist engaged in legitimate newsgathering, I am requesting a fee waiver of any associated costs with this request. In lieu of a fee waiver, I am requesting a detailed invoice of any potential costs, if any, associated with this request.

Thanks,
David
