This document is Addendum Number 1 for the Request for Proposal (RFP) for Audit Services issued by Clear Creek County, Colorado. The addendum clarifies that the RFP response deadline is August 5, 2024, which serves to update and supplement the original solicitation documents. The county is seeking a qualified certified public accountant or accounting firm to complete a financial audit of the county's financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2024, including auditing governmental activities, major funds, and federal award programs. The initial contract term will be one year with options for four additional one-year renewals.

The total budget appropriation for all county funds in 2024 is $49 million, and the audit will cover two major funds, two component units, two capital project funds, one debt-service fund, seven special revenue funds, and four fiduciary funds. The county is looking for a firm with local government auditing experience, including single audit experience, and the ability to meet specific deadlines. While cost is a consideration, the county prioritizes qualifications and the ability to complete the audit according to required standards, including Government Auditing Standards and Uniform Guidance requirements. Proposals will be evaluated based on the firm's expertise, references, and ability to perform the comprehensive financial and compliance audit services.
