The document is a Proposal Price Form (Attachment A-2) for External Auditing Services issued by the School Board of Citrus County, Florida (CCSB), soliciting competitive sealed proposals for independent auditing services covering fiscal years 2025 through 2029. The procurement seeks a licensed Certified Public Accounting firm to conduct annual audits for the district's 21 schools serving approximately 15,000 students, in compliance with Florida Statutes and Auditor General Rules. The proposal is due on April 22, 2025, at 2:00 PM EST, with an evaluation committee meeting scheduled for May 6, 2025, and potential follow-up interviews. The contract will have an initial five-year term with the possibility of four additional one-year renewals through June 30, 2034.

The pricing form requires proposers to submit comprehensive pricing details, including firm fixed annual audit fees for fiscal years ending June 30, 2025-2029, and additional professional hourly rates for various roles such as Partner, Manager, Supervisor, Senior Accountant, Junior Accountant, and Paraprofessional. The district's final budget of $352,029,906 for the 2023-2024 fiscal year indicates this is a significant professional services opportunity. Auditing services will cover the General Fund, Debt Service Fund, Capital Project Funds, Special Revenue Funds, and federal funds, with specific exclusions for School Internal Accounts and charter schools. Proposers must demonstrate a minimum of five years of experience in auditing local governments, particularly Florida school districts, and comply with Government Auditing Standards. The RFP does not specify any set-aside designations or disadvantaged enterprise restrictions, and historically, the district has been audited by the Auditor General.
