8-Appendix C. Schedule of Fees and Expenses.xlsx

This is a Schedule of Fees and Expenses template for audit services proposed by qualified Certified Public Accounting firms to Boulder County, Colorado. The document establishes the pricing framework for a five-year contract term running from January 1, 2027 through December 31, 2031. The scope of work encompasses multiple audit services including Boulder County Financial Statements, Public Health Financial Statements, County-wide Single Audits, PERA Census Audits (if needed), and other services as defined in the Request for Proposal. Bidders are required to complete detailed cost proposals for each service category for fiscal years 2027 through 2031, with separate tabs provided for each audit service to ensure comprehensive cost breakdowns.

The pricing template requires firms to detail personnel costs by classification level (Partners, Managers, Supervisory Staff, and Staff), including total hours, hourly rates, and total costs for each category, as well as out-of-pocket expenses such as meals, lodging, and transportation. Proposals must include an all-inclusive maximum price for each service line and an aggregate total for all services across the five-year period. The template structure allows bidders to itemize additional services or personnel classifications as needed, ensuring transparency in cost allocation and enabling Boulder County to evaluate proposals on a comprehensive, comparative basis across competing firms.
