Name - Student Student

Affiliation - University of Connecticut

I'm currently working on my capstone project for my Masters program in HR Management, which asks us to tackle a current HR-related issue in our organizations, and my focus is on onboarding.

I'm hoping to access high‑level, aggregate data on voluntary turnover within the first 12 months of employment (faculty and staff if possible), as well as annual new‑hire counts. Recent years data, from the past 1-2 years, would be more than sufficient, even at a high level.

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.
