FOIA Request to Village Of Roseville regarding procurement bids and RFP submissions on February 1, 2026.
A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was submitted to the Village Of Roseville 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 information includes 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.
Prairie State Wire has requested that any denied portions of this request be accompanied by a specific statutory basis for denial, along with all reasonably segregable portions of the records. The organization prefers to receive these records in electronic format if available. Additionally, they have requested a fee waiver due to their role as a media professional committed to gathering and reporting news for public dissemination.
The requestor is affiliated with The Coalition Opposing Governmental Secrecy, a non-profit organization dedicated to investigating governmental agencies and promoting transparency through FOIA and Sunshine Laws. More information about this coalition can be found on their website here.
