About this file

This is a Pricing Proposal Form for RFP CI-274 Auxiliary Audit Services for California State University Channel Islands and its affiliated entities. The contract requires proposers to submit pricing for comprehensive audit services across a five-year period (fiscal years 2026-27 through 2030-31), with the first three years as firm fixed pricing and two optional years. The scope encompasses basic audit fees for four entities: Associated Students of California State University Channel Islands, Inc. (ASI), California State University Channel Islands Foundation, California State University Channel Islands Site Authority, and California State University Channel Islands Financing Authority. In addition to core audit services, proposers must price a standardized evaluation basket of tax preparation filings for each entity, including Form 990, California Franchise Tax Board filings, and Registry of Charities and Fundraisers filings. All three worksheets of the pricing proposal form must be completed in their entirety, with every evaluated pricing field requiring a specific dollar amount with no N/A entries permitted in evaluated rows.

Pricing must be submitted in U.S. dollars with option-year pricing capped at a maximum 3.0% annual increase over the immediately preceding year. The Combined Evaluated Price comprises the five-year basic audit fees plus all tax preparation fees listed in the evaluated pricing schedule and serves as the basis for the 60-point price scoring. Additional services such as single audits, agreed-upon procedures, accounting consultation, hourly services, reimbursable expenses, and unlisted tax filings are excluded from the Combined Evaluated Price and require separate prior written authorization. Proposers must also complete the hourly rate schedule for various staff classifications (engagement partner, principal, manager, senior, staff, tax specialist, and IT audit specialist) for years one through three and option years one and two. The form requires certification by an authorized company representative confirming the validity, completeness, and accuracy of all submitted pricing and that performance will comply with the RFP terms and resulting contract conditions.

RFP CI-274 | Auxiliary Audit Services
IMPORTANT: ALL THREE WORKSHEET TABS ARE REQUIRED: Proposers must complete and submit this workbook in its entirety, including all three worksheets. All required fields must be completed. On Worksheet 1, every evaluated pricing field must contain a dollar amount; enter $0 only when the service would be provided at no additional charge. N/A is not permitted in evaluated pricing fields. On Worksheet 2, enter N/A for required service/rate fields that do not apply; optional proposal rows may be left blank if not proposed. Failure to complete any required worksheet or pricing field may result in the proposal being deemed nonresponsive.

Option-Year Maximum Increase:3.0%Applies to each Entity-specific basic audit fee, each required tax filing fee, and hourly rates in Option Years 1 and 2.
INSTRUCTIONS: Complete all applicable blue-font input cells in U.S. dollars. Years 1-3 are firm, fixed, not-to-exceed. Option-year pricing is also firm NTE and may not exceed the immediately preceding year by more than 3%. The Combined Evaluated Price includes the five-year basic audit fees plus every tax-preparation fee listed in the evaluated tax pricing schedule below. For evaluated tax rows, enter the firm's NTE fee as though the listed filing were required; do not enter N/A or $0 solely because the firm believes a filing may not apply. Enter $0 only if the firm would perform that filing at no additional charge. Additional Services, hourly services, reimbursable expenses, and unlisted tax filings are excluded from the Combined Evaluated Price. Supplemental pricing explanations may be attached if necessary, but this Pricing Proposal Form controls for evaluation and contracting purposes.

Combined Evaluated Price = five-year basic audit fees for all four Entities + five-year evaluated tax-preparation fees for every listed Entity/filing combination in Section B. All listed evaluated tax rows must be priced to ensure consistent proposal comparison.

Any tax filing not listed in Section B is excluded from the Combined Evaluated Price and requires separate prior written authorization in accordance with RFP Section 3.7.
