Complainant contended that the Rhode Island Department of Transportation ("RIDOT") violated the APRA when it failed to produce certain documents Complainant requested. This Office determined that RIDOT violated the APRA by failing to timely locate and produce a responsive document. This Office also required RIDOT to provide a supplemental submission regarding, among other things, its search for some of the other items requested by Complainant and whether any APRA violation committed by RIDOT was knowing and willful, or reckless. VIOLATION FOUND.
