Dear Mr. Waters:
Attached, please find the records relative to your email request of July 18, 2018.
Please note the following relative to your third request:
3. The Vehicle Request Justification forms submitted to Fleet Management Services for purchase of the above-mentioned vehicles. The requirement to retain justification for the vehicle selection became effective February 21, 2016 through the update of AoA Bulletin 2.3. Vehicle orders placed prior to this date would not have been required to retain this information. We have provided the justifications for 2 of the 3 vehicles placed into service after 2/21/16 in a single PDF file. The third vehicle placed into service after 2/21/16 was donated to Vermont Attorney General. Since it was not procured by the State of Vermont, a justification form was not required.
