Body
Previous Commission Action: Town Commission previously selected an Audit Committee to solicit for proposals and provide a recommendation for an auditing firm.
Background/Problem Discussion: The Town has received auditing services from Davidson, Jamieson, Cristini P.L. for many years based on continuous renewal of contract terms. In recent years Florida Statutes have provided for updated practices for procurement of auditor services. To ensure that the services agreement is in compliance, the Audit Committee crafted a Request for Proposals and evaluation process. The sole proposal received for consideration was from the town’s existing firm, Davidson, Jamieson, Cristini P.L. The Audit Committee unanimously recommends award of the contract to Davidson, Jamieson, Cristini P.L. which was the highest ranked firm.
Financial Implications: The base cost of this agreement would be a fixed sum of $30,000 annually for a period of five years.
Recommendation: Award of Professional Auditing Services Agreement to Davidson, Jamieson and Cristini, P.L. for an annual sum of $30,000.
Proposed Motion: I move award of Professional Auditing Services Agreement to Davidson, Jamieson and Cristini, P.L. for an annual sum of $30,000.
