Fort Worth Demolition Contracts

To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the Texas Public Information Act , I hereby request the following records:

A copy of the contracts, any periodic reviews, and other administrative files on housing demolition contractors used by the city.

I also request that, if appropriate, fees be waived as I believe this request is in the public interest. The requested documents will be made available to the general public free of charge as part of the public information service at MuckRock.com, processed by a representative of the news media/press and is made in the process of news gathering and not for commercial usage.

In the event that fees cannot be waived, 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 business days, as the statute requires.

Mr. Morisy - Would you please clarify your request pertaining to "...housing demolition contractors..."? We have contracts for residential demolition, single-family residences, multi-family residences, mixed-use properties, and just "structural" properties, etc. I have identified hundreds of contracts for demolition contractors in our database and want you to be advised that no information was returned using "housing demolition". If possible, would you please narrow your request. When I used the search phase "demolition", I received 572 results.

Ron Gonzales, Assistant City Secretary
