PSM_-_Contractor_Audit_Form.pdf

This is a Contractor Audit Form issued by the City of Lakeland, Risk Management and Purchasing Department, revised as of April 1, 2026. The form is designed to evaluate contractors working on projects for the City of Lakeland, Florida. The audit document includes standardized fields for recording contractor name, project description, project location, and date of audit. The form contains audit items with designated spaces for recording audit results and associated comments, with EMR (Experience Modification Rate) noted as an audit criterion. The form serves as a quality assurance and compliance verification tool for City-managed projects.

This audit form is associated with the City of Lakeland's consulting services solicitation for the preparation of a comprehensive regulatory framework governing data centers and large-load developments. The consulting services project addresses the city's need to develop zoning, siting, permitting, utility service, and operational policies for data centers and energy-intensive facilities following the adoption of a temporary 12-month moratorium on such development. The City of Lakeland's ownership and operation of electric, water, wastewater, and stormwater utilities creates a unique opportunity to coordinate land use planning with utility infrastructure planning while ensuring protection of existing customers and fair cost allocation. The successful consultant will evaluate existing conditions, identify best practices, assess infrastructure capacity, and prepare implementation documents including recommended amendments to the City's Land Development Code and related utility policies.
