Dear Mr. Rudenberg:

New Castle County is in receipt of the below FOIA request. I write to clarify what public records you are seeking. What do you mean by "All documents signed with procurement software to create and publish RFI, RFQ, RFP this agency uses or used in the past five years"? Are you seeking a copy of 5 years' worth of all RFIs, RFQs and RFPs issued by the County? If not, please explain further what public records you are seeking.

Additionally, please be advised that Delaware FOIA requires public bodies only to produce public records, not to respond to questions.

Finally, please note that the deadline to provide public records in response to FOIA requests is currently extended until 15 business days after the date Governor Carney lifts the State of Emergency Declaration.

Sincerely,
Karen

Hello.
Thanks you for asking for clarification. I meant I would like all documents or contracts signed with any software you use to publish requests for information, proposals, quotes, bids and so on. For example, Ion Wave is one type of software like this.
Thanks!

From: New Castle County Clerk

Good morning. New Castle County does not have any public records that are responsive to your request.

Thank you,
Karen
