If your office believes another agency in this jurisdiction may also have information responsive to this request, provision of that knowledge would be appreciated.
I also request that, if appropriate, fees be waived as we believe this request is in the public interest, as suggested but not stipulated by the recommendations of the Massachusetts Supervisor of Public Records. 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.
I expect the request to be filled in an accessible format, including for screen readers, which provide text-to-speech for persons unable to read print. Files that are not accessible to screen readers include, for example, .pdf image files as well as physical documents.
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.

A message was sent to you regarding record request #24-1343:
Dear Requester,
The City of Springfield is in receipt of your public records request. You requested:

• Agreements: any and all contracts and agreements, including amendments and exhibitions, related to Axon, its services, and its products. Please note that this includes all agreements, memorandums of understanding, and written or verbal agreements between this agency and the company, regardless of whether or not any financial compensation or stipulations were/are involved. This also includes any nondisclosure agreements.
• Bidding: Requests for Proposal (or similar calls for bids), licensing agreements, documentation of selection, sole source or limited source justification and approval documentation, and other memoranda and documentation
• Financial: purchase orders, invoices, or any other financial records related to this agency's use of any Axon product or service.
• Policies: any policy directives, guidance documents, memoranda, training materials, or similar records governing the use of any Axon product or service that has been used or is in use by this agency
• Company relations: records related to meetings or follow-up actions with Axon or any entity operating on its behalf or as its representative
• User guides: materials related to the function of any service or product provided by Axon, including emails, handouts, PowerPoint presentations, advertisements, or specification documents.
• Training: training materials - either internal or external - governing the use of any Axon product or service
• Data guidelines: any materials or agreements guiding or regulating the use, sharing, or access to any related data collected by or provided to any Axon service or product”
After deducting the first two hours per state law, the City's Good Faith Estimate to reproduce the records you have requested is $9000.00. This total is based upon the hourly rate of the lowest paid employee capable of completing the request, which is estimated at 360 hours at $25.00 per hour.
Please note that the hourly rates of the staff working on your request have been reduced to $25 in accordance with M.G. L. ch. 66, § 10(d)(iii) as required for a municipality assessing a fee to search, compile, segregate, or redact records in response to a public records request.
In order to fulfill your request, Personnel at the Springfield Police Department must search and compile the following records:
• Marketing: marketing materials from Axon (or TASER) - unsolicited, requested, or otherwise - related to past, present, or future products that may or may not be in use by this agency
• Policies: any policy directives, guidance documents, memoranda, training materials, or similar records governing the use of any Axon product or service that has been used or is in use by this agency
• Company relations: records related to meetings or follow-up actions with Axon or any entity operating on its behalf or as its representative
• User guides: materials related to the function of any service or product provided by Axon, including emails, handouts, PowerPoint presentations, advertisements, or specification documents.
• Training: training materials - either internal or external - governing the use of any Axon product or service
• Data guidelines: any materials or agreements guiding or regulating the use, sharing, or access to any related data collected by or provided to any Axon service or product”
This portion of the fee estimate is estimated to take approximately 360 hours total. Once the Police Department has compiled and transmitted the records to the Law Department, an Associate City Solicitor must review and redact exempt material in accordance with the Public Records Law. This portion of the fee estimate has been generated under the impression that it will take approximately two hours total.
Please log in to the Public Records Center at the following link to retrieve the City's Good Faith Estimate and the electronically available records: City of Springfield Public Records Portal.
Since the total cost to comply with your public records request exceeds Ten Dollars ($10.00), you must pay the above-estimated fee in full prior to the reproduction of the above named documents. Payment must be made by certified check or money order, payable to the "City of Springfield" in the full amount of the good faith fee estimated above.
Please include your reference number in the memo section of the check or money order and mail it to:
