To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the Maryland Public Information Act, I hereby request the following records:
Hi there,
I am looking to access the contract that was awarded for your speed enforcement provider.
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 10 calendar days, as the statute requires.
Sincerely,
Nikita Jagadeesh

This correspondence is in response to your request for public record(s).
Your request will be evaluated in accordance with the Maryland Public
Information Act, Annotated Code of Maryland, General Provisions Article §
4-101, et seq. (MPIA). Specifically, you have requested a copy of the
contract awarded to administer the Department's automated speed enforcement
system.
Please note that requests pertaining to vendors and contracts are handled
by the County's Purchasing Division. I have copied that Department's
Custodian of Records, Ms. Cox; however, if you wish to make a
separate/direct request to them, you can do so at
*https://www.aacounty.org/pia?requestType=PU
<https://www.aacounty.org/pia?requestType=PUR>**R*. Please feel free to
contact me if you have questions/concerns about this response.

To Whom It May Concern:
I wanted to follow up on the following Maryland Public Information Act request, copied below, and originally submitted on Oct. 6, 2024. Please let me know when I can expect to receive a response.
Thanks for your help, and let me know if further clarification is needed.
From: Anne Arundel County Police Department
Dear Sir,
A request was to be submitted to the Purchasing Division via the PIA link
provided in an earlier email. I never received that request. In any event,
I have already requested permission from the contractor to release the
documents and am awaiting a response from them.
Your request includes copies of contractual documents. To the extent that
the County’s Purchasing Department has responsive documents, I will review
each document and determine if there is confidential commercial or
financial information from the vendor(s) that needs to be withheld or
redacted from production pursuant to MPIA §4-335. This includes certain
pricing data and information regarding a vendor’s equipment or processes. A
vendor would customarily not release such information to the public. I
would produce any responsive contractual documents with such confidential
commercial or financial information either withheld or redacted. With
regard to the time it is taking to make the records available to you, we
shall first notify the contractor of your request as a courtesy to them and
to allow them a reasonable amount of time to determine what they believe is
proprietary information in their proposal.
You may contact the Public Access Ombudsman per MPIA § 4-1B-04 regarding an
issue you have with this response. You may also challenge any part of this
response to your Request by filing an action in the appropriate court of
law pursuant to MPIA § 4-362. In addition, pursuant to MPIA § 4-1A-05, you
may file a complaint with the State Public Information Act Compliance
Board. I look forward to continuing to work with you on this Request.
Please do not hesitate to contact me at any time. Thank you.

Diana G. Cox, CPM | Procurement Strategy Manager
