Records Sought
Bid / procurement corroboration (competing-bid allegation)
The competing bids, timestamps, and communications that would confirm or refute the attributed competing-bid allegation.
Why we’re looking for this
A homeowner statement alleges a competing bid was shared. That claim is attributed hearsay until corroborated. These records — especially original files with timestamps — would confirm or refute it on evidence.
What it’s referenced to
- Finding: weak financial controls (procurement integrity)
- The HOA's procurement and conflict-of-interest policies
- MDZ proposals and any competing bids for the relevant projects
What producing it would establish
Whether an MDZ proposal was submitted or revised after competing prices became available.
What its absence means
The bid-sharing claim is an unverified allegation; without the original files and timestamps it can be neither confirmed nor dismissed.
Specific records requested (12)
- Every competing bid and proposal for the relevant projects
- Original electronic files and submission timestamps
- Bid-solicitation notices and submission deadlines
- Communications transmitting or discussing bid amounts
- Communications between ▒▒▒▒▒▒, ▒▒▒▒▒▒, MDZ, management, and other directors
- Bid-comparison sheets and vendor-selection criteria
- MDZ proposals and revisions, including timestamps (was an MDZ proposal submitted or revised after competing prices became available?)
- Conflict disclosures and annual conflict questionnaires
- Minutes, recordings, voting records, and written consents
- Invoices, payment approvals, checks, receipts, and proof of completion
- Testimony/written statements from individuals with firsthand knowledge
- The HOA's procurement and conflict-of-interest policies
