Matthew Renna v. Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (SPR 20221873)

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Manza Arthur Supervisor of Records August 15, 2022 SPR22/1873 Julie Ciollo, Esq. Assistant General Counsel/Records Access Officer Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority 10 Park Plaza, Suite #7760 Boston, MA 02116 Dear Attorney Ciollo: I have received the petition of Matthew Renna appealing the nonresponse of the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) to a request for public records. See G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On July 6, 2022, Mr. Renna requested the “[s]coring matrix, comments and discussion meeting minutes for all entities that submitted a Technical Proposal [and] [a]ny scoring or narrative information associated with any entity that submitted a Technical Proposal.” Claiming to not yet have received responsive records, Mr. Renna petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR22/1873, was opened as a result. Subsequently, I learned that the MBTA provided Mr. Renna with a response dated August 15, 2022. Where the basis of this appeal was opened as a result of the MBTA’s lack of a written response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Mr. Renna may appeal the substantive nature of the MBTA’s response within ninety (90) days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, Manza Arthur Supervisor of Records cc: Matthew Renna One Ashburton Place, Room 1719, Boston, Massachusetts 02108 • (617) 727-2832• Fax: (617) 727-5914 sec.state.ma.us/pre • pre@sec.state.ma.us
