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. The RFP covers fiscal years 2025 through 2029, with an initial five-year contract term and potential for four additional one-year renewals through June 30, 2034. 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, Section 218.39 and Rules of the Auditor General. 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 pricing form requires detailed submission of annual audit fees and additional professional hourly rates, with rates for various professional roles including Partner, Manager, Supervisor, Senior Accountant, Junior Accountant, and Paraprofessional. The comprehensive audit 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, specifically Florida school districts, and comply with Government Auditing Standards. The district's final budget for 2023-2024 is $352,029,906, indicating a significant professional services opportunity. The RFP does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises, and historically, the district has been audited by the Auditor General due to the county's population size.
