Dear Mr McNally
FREEDOM OF INFORMATION (FOI) APPLICATION I refer to your initial email dated 19 June 2018 to the Department of Finance (the
Department) in which you requested to be given access to documents stating as
follows:
“… all the relevant documentation submitted by the tenderer for modular school
transportable building tenders won and awarded to Quality Builders in WA for the year
2017 January thru to December. In particular Tender no's 2017/01628, 2017/01627 and 2017/04248, notwithstanding
any others that may have been awarded in the above period.” I also refer to your subsequent email correspondence received on 22 June 2018 in
which you advised that you have paid the application fee of $30.00.
Acknowledgement of Receipt
I confirm the receipt of $30.00 payment of the application fee. In accordance with the
Freedom of Information Act 1992 (‘the FOI Act’), your FOI application has become valid
with the receipt of payment. The 45 day period within which your application must be
dealt with expires on
6 August 2018.
If additional costs are to apply for dealing with your application, I will provide you in
advance with an estimate of charges and the amount of deposit required. The applicable
charges are $30.00 per hour and 20 cents per page photocopying costs, however we
endeavour to waive, or keep them to a minimum wherever possible.

Request for Your Consent
For the purposes of processing your FOI application, under section 33 of the FOI Act, the
Department must undertake consultation with third parties whose information appears in
the relevant documents. As part of that consultation, it may be necessary for the
Department to release your name to the party or parties consulted.
Further, due to the requirement for consultation, it has become apparent that the
Department requires additional time in which to process your FOI application. At this
stage, I estimate that the Department would be able to complete the application by 20
August 2018.
In view of the above, please advise as soon as practicable and no later than 31 July 2018
whether you agree:
that your name is released during the third party consultation process; and
the timeframe for completing your FOI application is extended until
20 August
2018.
If you have any questions in relation to the above, please do not hesitate to contact me on
08 6551 1125 or email
xxx@xxxxxxx.xx.xxx.xx .
Yours sincerely
Freedom of Information Manager
