About this file
This is a sole source justification letter from the City of Jacksonville, Florida, authorizing a contract with Tax Management Associates (TMA) for personal property tax audit services. The contract is designed to identify and collect taxes due on business-related equipment within the city's jurisdiction. The service term is one year with two optional one-year renewal periods, allowing for up to three years of total service delivery. No specific response dates, bidders' meetings, or site visits are mentioned in this sole source documentation.
The contract represents a revenue-generating arrangement with no cost to the City, as TMA operates on a contingency or commission basis tied to taxes collected. The sole source justification indicates that TMA is the incumbent provider and possesses specialized expertise and existing systems necessary for effective tax identification and collection. This approach allows the city to leverage TMA's established operational capacity and historical performance without requiring a competitive procurement process.

Desi Green Chief Financial Officer Duval County Property Appraiser 231 East Forsyth Street, Suite 270 Jacksonville, FL 32202
Dear Mr. Green, Please accept this letter regarding Comprehensive Tangible Personal Property Audits. Tax Management Associates, Inc. (TMA) proposes to continue providing tangible personal property audit services to Duval County.
TMA has been performing tangible personal property audits throughout Florida since 1994.
During that time, we have not encountered another vendor providing this specific type of service within the State of Florida. To the best of our knowledge, no other vendor currently performs comprehensive tangible personal property audits of this nature, nor have we identified any such vendor during the procurement and contracting processes conducted with our Florida clients.
As part of TMA’s comprehensive audit methodology, we have developed proprietary audit templates used to conduct tangible personal property audits and support the computation of asset valuations. These templates were specifically designed to provide our county clients with clear tracking and reconciliation of asset records, ensure accurate identification of taxable assets by assessment year, and facilitate the preparation of final audit reports in compliance with Property Appraiser requirements.
Should you require any additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you for your interest in our services. We appreciate the opportunity to continue our longstanding working relationship with Duval County.
Sincerely, Jay Taranto Chief Revenue Officer Tax Management Associates, Inc.
