2023-24 Fiscal Year Audit

The state and local contract opportunity involves a professional audit services procurement for South Lane Wheels (SLW), a not-for-profit transportation service provider located in rural South Lane County, Oregon. The organization is seeking qualified certified public accounting firms to conduct financial statement audits for fiscal years ending June 30, 2024, 2025, and 2026. The audit must be performed in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and may also require tax preparation and filing services. Proposals are due by October 18, 2024, at 3:00 p.m. local time and will be evaluated by SLW's Board of Directors Evaluation Committee. The procurement process will result in a three-year contract, subject to annual review and potential funding availability, with the possibility of two one-year extensions. Evaluation criteria will focus on technical qualifications and price, with the contract awarded to the firm providing the best overall value to SLW. The sealed Price Proposal must include a total all-inclusive maximum price for each year of the three-year engagement, along with a detailed schedule of professional fees and expenses.

The solicitation does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Out-of-pocket expenses will be reimbursed at rates consistent with SLW's employee expense policy, and the organization will not cover costs associated with proposal preparation and submission. While specific budget ranges are not detailed in the provided documentation, the procurement suggests a multi-year engagement with potential for contract extension. The opportunity appears open to certified public accounting firms with demonstrated expertise in non-profit financial auditing and tax preparation. No information is provided about incumbent vendors or existing technological infrastructure that might require integration. Interested firms should carefully review the complete RFP packet and be prepared to submit comprehensive proposals that demonstrate technical competence, audit methodology, and competitive pricing for the requested professional audit services.
