Communications
From: Rebecca Williams
To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the Washington Public Records Act, I hereby request the following records:
This request for contract documents related to all smart city technology purchased or in operation by this agency for the period from 1/1/2015 - present.
These smart city technologies include any contract document that contains:
- The terms “smart city.”
- Internet of Things (IoT) technologies (such as connected sensors, lights, and meters that collect data).
- Mobility data collection (such as “intelligent transportation system" or rideshare or cell-phone location data agreements).
- Video technologies (such as “closed-circuit television,” traffic, security, or streetlight cameras).
Specifically, I am requesting contract documents to which this agency and any smart city technology vendor are parties. These materials include:
- Any lists of related contracts.
- Any contracts, including any pilot, proof-of-concept, and public-private partnership agreements.
- Any data purchase, licensing, or exchange agreements.
- Any privacy policies or terms of use/service.
- Any vendor distribution lists for related requests for proposals.
If another office would be a more appropriate destination for this request, I would be happy to forward this request according to your direction. If additional agencies or jurisdictions would also have responsive or associated materials, the provision of the names of those entities would also be appreciated.
These records will be used to inform research on “smart city system” best practices as part of Harvard Kennedy School’s Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs’ Technology and Public Purpose (TAPP) Project that culminates in May 2020. To accommodate this deadline and inclusion in analysis please expedite this request so that it is filled by February 2020. Because of our not-for-profit status and the fact that this request is about a matter in the public interest, I request a fee waiver. If you have any questions or would like to discuss narrowing the request, please contact me directly at rebeccawilliams@hks.harvard.edu or (857) 400-0323
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 5 business days, as the statute requires.
Sincerely,
Rebecca Williams

Good morning,
My apologies for the delay in response! These messages have been falling into my spam folder (which I have failed to check) and I apologize for the oversight and that I did not get this message sooner.
I will be entering your request into the Gov QA portal (https://seattlegov.sharepoint.com/fas/customer-relations-service/Citywide-Public-Records-Act-Program) and all future requests should be entered there to avoid this again.
Thank you kindly,
Maketa

Dear Rebecca Williams,
This acknowledges receipt of your public disclosure request C070245-021021 received on February 09, 2021 regarding: Contract documents related to all smart city technology purchased or in operation by this agency for the period from 1/1/2015 - present
Pursuant to RCW 42.56.520, this is notification that the City of Seattle has received your public disclosure request. At this time, we believe it is unlikely that the Office of Sustainability & Environment has any responsive records, as we have not entered into any contracts for smart city technologies, but I want to do a search first to be sure. I will let you know by Tuesday, 2/16.
I also would imagine that the department likely to have responsive records is Information Technology. Would you like me to transfer this request to them, or would you prefer to enter a new request into the portal (you just received a welcome message from it, because I entered this request on your behalf based on the email you sent Maketa Brazier)?
Sincerely,
Jeanie Boawn, Public Disclosure Officer
Office of Sustainability and Environment

Dear Rebecca Williams,
This acknowledges receipt of your public disclosure request C070245-021021 received on February 09, 2021 regarding: Contract documents related to all smart city technology purchased or in operation by this agency for the period from 1/1/2015 - present
Please be aware that I can only respond with respect to records in the custody of my department. I have done some research into your request, and determined my department does not have responsive records, I had planned to forward it to the public disclosure officers for the following departments: Information Technology and the Seattle Department of Transportation. However, I see you have already made your request to those departments, so they will be responding directly to you.
I am now closing the request for the Office of Sustainability & Environment.
Best wishes,
Jeanie Boawn, Public Disclosure Officer
