FOIA Request to Village of Creve Coeur regarding procurement bids and RFP submissions on February 1, 2026.
A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was submitted to the Village of Creve Coeur by Prairie State Wire, a media organization focused on local governmental affairs. The request seeks access to records related to procurement bids and responses to requests for proposals (RFPs) received by the city during the immediately preceding calendar month.
The requested records include details such as solicitation or project titles, names of bidders or proposers, submission dates, bid amounts or proposed costs, and descriptions of the goods or services proposed. The request emphasizes that it seeks existing records only and does not require the creation of new documents. It also requests that any denials be accompanied by a specific statutory basis for withholding information, with all reasonably segregable portions released.
Prairie State Wire has requested these records in electronic format if available and has applied for a fee waiver due to its role in gathering and reporting news to the public. The organization is affiliated with The Coalition Opposing Governmental Secrecy, which aids media companies in investigating governmental agencies through FOIA and Sunshine Laws.
We look forward to receiving this information in an electronic format as it will greatly aid in our reporting efforts. As always, we remain open for any questions or clarifications regarding this request.
