Auditing Services

Oswego County is seeking qualified consultants, companies, or individuals to perform internal and external auditing services through a Request for Proposal (RFP-25-TR-002). The procurement requires comprehensive auditing capabilities across governmental programs, with a specific focus on demonstrating knowledge of GASB standards, governmental ledger formats, and New York State program funding mechanisms. Proposers must submit one original and one electronic copy of their proposal by May 28, 2025, at 2:30 p.m., with the contract period spanning from July 10, 2025, to July 9, 2026, and potential for four additional one-year extensions. The county will evaluate proposals based on multiple criteria, including understanding of RFP requirements, performance track record, experience, proposal quality, cost-effectiveness, and organizational capacity to manage the project scope. Key qualifications include demonstrated expertise in auditing governmental programs, preferred experience with New York State local-level funding, and the ability to comprehensively review and analyze financial documentation.

The RFP does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Insurance requirements are clearly defined, mandating commercial general liability insurance of $1,000,000 per occurrence, automobile liability of $1,000,000, and professional liability/malpractice insurance of $1,000,000 per claim. The county reserves the right to reject any or all proposals and potentially select multiple proposals if deemed appropriate. While specific budget ranges are not disclosed in the available documentation, the comprehensive nature of the auditing services suggests a substantial professional services contract. Prospective bidders are encouraged to submit through BidNet, with the understanding that the county will conduct a thorough evaluation of each proposal's technical and financial merits. The procurement appears designed to secure a comprehensive, high-quality auditing service that can provide rigorous financial oversight and analysis of Oswego County's governmental programs and financial systems.
