Approving the Findings of
the Evaluation Committee
for RFP #03-04-099
It is respectfully recommended that the City Commission approve the findings of the
Evaluation Committee for Request for Proposal (RFP) No. 03-04-099 for External
Auditing Services; and to authorize the City Manager to enter into negotiations with the
recommended firms in rank order.
BACKGROUND
On May 19, 2004, RFP No. 03-04-099 was issued with responses due to the Office of the
City Clerk by June 14, 2004. Two (2) proposals were received, and two proposals were
found to be responsive and in accordance with the terms set by the RFP.
FILE :
Two meetings (June 16, 2004 and June 25, 2004) were held by the RFP Evaluation
Committee to review and evaluate the proposals. The firms were evaluated based on the
Proposer's a) Qualifications and Experience; b) Ability and Capability to Perform Required
Services; e) Fees for Services; and d) Local Preference. The findings of the committee in
rank order, are as follows: KPMG LLP and Rachlin, Cohen, and Holtz.
It is the recommendation of the Evaluation Committee that the City Manager negotiate with
the highest ranked firm, and in the event negotiations are not successful, proceed to
negotiate with the second ranked firm. If negotiations are unsuccessful, then the
committee recommends that a new RFP be issued for external auditing services.
