ATTACHMENT A _ Cost Proposal _ Independent Fi.pdf

This is a Cost Proposal Form (Attachment A) for the City of McDonough, Georgia, which is soliciting independent financial audit services through RFP No. MCD-FIN-RFP-FY26-001. The RFP seeks qualified firms to provide annual financial audit services for three consecutive fiscal years ending June 30, 2025, 2026, and 2027. The contract structure includes options for two additional renewal years (Years 4 and 5), allowing for potential extension beyond the initial three-year term. Proposers must submit separate cost and technical proposals, with cost information excluded from the technical submission to maintain proposal integrity.

Pricing must be submitted on a firm and fixed basis across multiple service categories. Proposers are required to provide annual audit fees for each of the three base contract years, optional renewal year pricing, and if applicable, Single Audit fees in accordance with 2 CFR Part 200. The form also requests hourly rates for four position levels (Partner, Manager, Senior Auditor, and Staff Auditor) to be used for additional services beyond the base audit scope. Reimbursable expenses may be included if clearly defined with estimated costs. All pricing must remain valid for a minimum of 120 days from proposal submission. The authorized representative must certify accuracy and completeness of all pricing and sign the form, committing the firm to perform services at the stated rates.
