Summary of Request:
The Auditor-Controller issued a request for proposals from qualified firms of Certified Public Accountants in February of 2018 for a three-year contract to prepare and audit the County's financial statements for the fiscal years ending June 30, 2018, 2019, and 2020. Proposals were received from four firms and Clifton Larson Allen LLP was determined to be the most qualified bidder. The firm’s proposal contained an option to extend fiscal audit services at similar pricing levels for an optional 2-Year Term. The original contract agreement amount of $213,600 for fiscal reporting years ending June 30, 2018, 2019 and 2020 was for $70,500, $70,500 and $72, 600, for years 1, 2 and 3, respectively. The proposed agreement amendment amount is $147,300 for fiscal reporting years ending June 30, 2021 and 2022, or $72,950 and $74,350 for years 4 and 5, respectively.
The firm has competently carried out its contractual services for preparing the County's Financial Statements and Supplementary Information, the Single Audit Report, and assisted in the County's transition to our Comprehensive Annual Financial Report. Due to the firm’s excellent past work and to the current COVID-19 related economic impacts of decreased capacity and rising costs and inflation, we feel it is to the County’s financial benefit to exercise the proposal option to extend services an additional two years at a known, relatively level price.
Alternative Action/Motion:
Prepare a Request for Proposal to solicit fiscal audit services for fiscal reporting years ending June 30, 2021 through June 30, 2023.
