University of North Dakota Barstool

Kevin,

Your FOIA request resulted in an initial search of 10,911 (2.86 GB) of documents. Upon pulling the documents, they must be reviewed by special counsel. Given the number of items could take up to 250 hours at a rate of $25/hour. There is no charge for the first hour of work. Before we proceed, are you willing to pay this in advance or would you like to narrow your search request?

Kevin,
For FOIA requests over one-hour of time to prepare are charged at $25/hour for each hour after the first. Your request is estimated to take up to 500 hours of work to review given the number of documents (The initial search result yielded 10,911 items (2.86 GB).

A minimum of half of the estimated time must be prepaid by cash or check before the review by special counsel will begin.

Using a minimum of 500 - one hour of work, the cost would be 499 x $25 = $12,475/2 = $6,237.50.

Meloney

I have received your note. I will work with our IT department.

Kevin,
We must receive a minimum of ½ of the costs in advance before the records will be pulled. In my email to you below, you will see the estimated costs to pull the records. Please advise how you would like to proceed.

Kevin,
I doubled-checked with General Counsel, and they said your narrowed request is ready without additional charge; however, the files are too large to email. We can put them on a CD or flash drive for pick up. If you wish to have it mailed, there will be a postage charge.

Please advise.
