FOIA Request to Village of Clemmons regarding procurement bids and RFP submissions on February 1, 2026.
A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was submitted to the Village of Clemmons by Old North 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 city during the immediately preceding calendar month.
The specific information requested includes solicitation or project titles, 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 seeks existing records only and does not require the creation of new documents.
Old North News has requested these records under the North Carolina Public Records Law, G.S. §132-1., with a preference for receiving them in electronic format. As a member of the media involved in gathering and reporting news, Old North News has also requested a fee waiver due to its role in disseminating information and holding public institutions accountable.
The requestor is affiliated with The Coalition Opposing Governmental Secrecy, a non-profit organization that assists media companies and advocacy groups in investigating governmental agencies through Freedom of Information and Sunshine Laws.
