Dear San Luis Obispo city,
This is a request for public records made under CPRA and the common law right of access. Please
confirm receipt of this message. Kindly send all responsive documents electronically — either by
replying directly or emailing the address below. This unique address helps me organize my requests, so
please use it exactly as shown:
Records requested:
Please send the final and compiled bid tabulation (bid tally), including all quantities and unit pricing for
each bidder, for '2025 Paving Project' that was submitted on 07/10/2025. I believe the project number is
'2000616', but I could be mistaken. If so, please use the project name and date to lookup the responsive
documents. We specifically request the line-item bid tabulation showing each material, quantity, unit,
and unit price for every bidder. If no such line-item tally was created, please provide the full bid
submissions from each contractor. A grand total sheet alone is not sufficient to satisfy this request
unless it was a lump sum bid.
Below is an example of the format we are looking for that the engineer usually creates at the completion
of the bid:
BIDDER 1 BIDDER 2
Item # Material Quantity Unit UNIT PRICE TOTAL UNIT PRICE TOTAL
1 ... ... ... ... ... ... ...
GRAND TOTAL GRAND TOTAL
Common law access / Public interest justification / Fee waivers:
My public interest justification is as follows:
Bid tabulations obtained through this request are made publicly available at no cost. This ensures
that taxpayers, businesses, journalists, and policymakers have free access to procurement data
that impacts public funds.
Transparency and accountability: Publicly available bid results help prevent overpricing, bid-
rigging, and favoritism in public contracts.
Support for small businesses: Many firms, especially small and minority-owned businesses, rely
on bid history to compete fairly in government contracting.

Cost savings for taxpayers: Open access to bid tabulations promotes competition, leading to
more cost-effective government spending.
Attestations:
I am a citizen of the United States and affirm my full name and contact information is true and
correct.
I have not been convicted of any indictable offense under the laws of any state whatsoever nor the
United States.
I, or another person, will use the requested government records for a commercial purpose.
I am not seeking records in connection with a legal proceeding.
Compliance Matters:
Should you need it, my mailing address is and my phone number
is ( For any compliance matters or other questions *not related* to the responsive record,
please email our general counsel at legal\[at\]govrecordrequest.com. Please do not send responsive
records to that address.
Thank you!
Yours faithfully,
Mark Zurada Esq.
