Auditing Services

The Town of St. Albans in Franklin County, Vermont, is soliciting proposals from Certified Public Accounting firms to perform annual financial statement audits for three consecutive fiscal years ending June 30, 2023, June 30, 2024, and June 30, 2025, with a potential contract extension option for up to three additional years. The procurement seeks a qualified accounting firm to conduct comprehensive audits of the town's financial records, with specific requirements for professional certification and expertise in municipal financial reporting. Proposals must be submitted by 4:00 PM on Friday, August 29, 2025, and can be delivered via mail to Corey Parent, Interim Town Manager, at P.O. Box 37, St. Albans Bay, Vermont 05481, or electronically via email to c.parent@stalbanstown.com. Interested firms are instructed to review the complete Request for Proposal (RFP) on the Town's website at www.stalbanstown.com, and any questions should be directed to Mr. Parent. While specific evaluation criteria are not detailed in the available information, the requirement for a Certified Public Accounting firm suggests a rigorous selection process focusing on professional qualifications, audit methodology, and municipal financial expertise.

The procurement does not explicitly mention any set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise requirements, or specific restrictions on respondent types beyond the mandatory certification as a CPA firm. No information is provided about incumbent vendors or existing technological infrastructure that might require integration. Similarly, the available documentation does not specify a precise budget range or potential contract award value for the auditing services. The three-year base contract with potential three-year extension suggests the town is seeking a long-term professional relationship with a qualified accounting firm capable of consistently providing high-quality financial audit services. Prospective respondents should carefully review the full RFP on the town's website to understand any additional nuanced requirements or preferences not captured in this initial contract opportunity notice.
