PSM_-_Contractor_Audit_Form.pdf

This is a Contractor Audit Form issued by the City of Lakeland's Risk Management and Purchasing Department, designed to evaluate contractors bidding on municipal service contracts. The form serves as an assessment tool for the City of Lakeland to evaluate contractor qualifications and compliance with requirements for service opportunities such as the Annual Towing Services contract, which seeks qualified contractors to provide towing, recovery, and transportation services for city-owned and leased vehicles and equipment on a twenty-four-hour, seven-day-per-week basis. The audit form includes fields for contractor identification, project details, service location information, and evaluation criteria to assess contractor capability and performance standards.

The audit form contains standardized evaluation line items, including EMR (Experience Modification Rate) assessment and related comments sections, enabling the City to systematically review contractor qualifications across defined audit categories. This assessment instrument is part of the City of Lakeland's broader procurement process that evaluates proposals based on selection criteria including cost proposal, location and service coverage, experience and past performance, and operational capacity and response capability. The form was revised as of April 1, 2026, reflecting the municipality's current contractor evaluation standards and risk management protocols.
