FOIA Request to Town Of Fair Bluff regarding procurement bids and RFP submissions on February 1, 2026.
A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was submitted to the Town Of Fair Bluff by South North Carolina News on February 1, 2026. The request seeks access to records related to procurement bids and responses to requests for proposals (RFPs) received by the town during the immediately preceding calendar month.
The specific records requested include details such as the solicitation or project title, names of bidders or proposers, submission dates, bid amounts or proposed costs, and descriptions of the goods or services proposed. The request emphasizes that it is limited to existing records and does not require the creation of new documents. Additionally, if any part of the request is denied, a statutory basis for such denial is requested along with all reasonably segregable portions of the records.
South North Carolina News has expressed a preference for receiving these records in electronic format. As a media organization dedicated to reporting news on local governmental affairs, they have also requested a fee waiver due to their role in disseminating information to the public.
The requester is affiliated with The Coalition Opposing Governmental Secrecy, a non-profit organization that aids media companies and advocacy groups in investigating government actions through FOIA and Sunshine Laws.
