Subject: External Auditing Services Evaluation Committee Recommendation
This letter is to report the recommendation of the Evaluation Committee for Request for
Proposal (RFP) No. 03-04-099 for External Auditing Services. On June 16, 2004 and June
25, 2004, the Evaluation Committee comprised of Don Nelson, Finance Director, City of
Coral Gables, Damon Adams, Dunlap and Associates, Willis Patterson, Assistant
Controller, Miami -Dade County, Norma Castillo, Tax Manager, Pricewaterhouse LLC,
Victor Igwe, City of Miami met and reviewed the two (2) proposals that were received and
deemed responsive. The proposals were evaluated based on the Proposer's a)
Qualifications and Experience; b) Ability and Capability to Perform Required Services; c)
Fees for Services; and d) Local Preference. The results of the Committee's findings in
order of results from the firm with the highest point awarded to the least are as follows:
1) KPMG, LLP
2) Rachlin, Cohen, and I-Ioltz
It is the recommendation of the Evaluation Committee that the City negotiate with the
highest ranked firm, KPMG, LLP and in the event negotiations are not successful, proceed
to negotiate with the second ranked firm, Rachlin, Cohen and Holtz. If negotiations are
unsuccessful, then the committee recommends that a new RFP be issued for external
auditing services.
