PSM_-_Contractor_Annual_Audit_Form.pdf

This is a Contractor Annual Audit Form issued by the City of Lakeland's Risk Management and Purchasing department, designed to evaluate contractor performance and compliance on City projects. The form serves as an assessment tool for monitoring contractor activities related to the recruitment services contract opportunity, which seeks qualified executive search firms to establish a pool capable of conducting national recruitments for executive-level positions across the City organization. The recruitment services will support both general fund and enterprise fund departments, including traditional municipal government functions such as police, fire rescue, public works, community and economic development, finance, human resources, information technology, parks and recreation, and legal services, as well as specialized enterprise operations including municipally owned electric and water utilities, airport operations, and sports, entertainment, and event venue management. The City intends to award contracts to multiple executive search firms with demonstrated expertise in public sector and specialized leadership recruitment, and selected firms will be utilized on an as-needed basis.

The audit form includes evaluation criteria for contractors, with specific attention to Experience Modification Rate (EMR) documentation, though the form as presented appears incomplete with blank fields for contractor name, date, project details, location, and comments sections. The City's approach to establishing a diverse pool of qualified firms reflects its intent to leverage specialized recruitment expertise across multiple operational areas, allowing firms to submit proposals for traditional local government executive recruitments, specialized enterprise executive recruitments, or both service categories. Pricing terms, set-asides, incumbents, and other financial details are not specified in the audit form itself, as this document functions primarily as a performance monitoring instrument rather than a solicitation or contractual terms document.
