Auditing Services

St. Tammany Parish Government is requesting proposals for auditing services for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026, and for each of the four subsequent fiscal years, with proposals due July 29, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. Central Standard Time. A 10-point evaluation criterion rewards certification as a Veteran Initiative or Hudson Initiative small entrepreneurship — a Louisiana state set-aside program that may influence scoring but does not restrict eligibility.

The scope requires audits performed in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, Government Auditing Standards, Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200 (Uniform Guidance), and the OMB Compliance Supplement. The auditor must conduct preliminary work during January 1–31 annually, deliver draft reports and recommendations to the Director of Finance by May 31, and submit final auditor's reports by June 7 each year. Records will be ready for audit by March 31. The Parish's fiscal year 2024 revenues totaled approximately $306.3 million in primary government and component unit general revenues, with program revenues of approximately $113.8 million combined.

The initial contract term is one year with four one-year renewal options, each subject to Parish Council concurrence and annual approval by the Louisiana Legislative Auditor. Pricing must be firm for the contract duration and submitted on the provided Pricing Sheet with all direct and indirect costs, including out-of-pocket expenses such as travel, lodging, and subsistence, itemized by individual assigned and broken down by fiscal year.

The evaluation committee scores proposals on compliance with RFP requirements (15 points), understanding of the project (10 points), approach to the project (15 points), ability to perform within stated timeframes (20 points), qualifications and experience (20 points), overall costs and fees (10 points calculated proportionally from lowest proposed price), and Veteran Initiative or Hudson Initiative certification (10 points). Written inquiries are due July 20, 2026, with responses provided by July 24. Proposals must be sealed and submitted via certified mail, hand-delivery, or courier service to 21454 Koop Drive, Suite 2F, Mandeville, Louisiana 70471.
