FOIA Request to Town of Seagrove regarding procurement bids and RFP submissions on February 1, 2026.
A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was submitted by Pinehurst Today to the Town of Seagrove 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 requested records 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 aim is to gather information that holds public interest for dissemination. The request specifies that it is limited to existing records and does not necessitate the creation of new documents.
The requester has asked for any denied portions of this request to be accompanied by a specific statutory basis for denial while releasing all reasonably segregable portions of the records. An electronic format is preferred if available. Additionally, as a member of the media involved in news gathering and reporting, Pinehurst Today has requested a fee waiver due to its role in providing transparency and holding public institutions accountable.
The requester is affiliated with The Coalition Opposing Governmental Secrecy, a non-profit organization dedicated to assisting media companies and advocacy groups in investigating governmental agencies through FOIA and Sunshine Laws.
