Construction Auditing Services – San Mateo Event Center Improvement Projects

The County of San Mateo is soliciting proposals from qualified independent certified construction auditing firms with experience in potential misuse of government funds, with proposals due November 2, 2026. The engagement covers construction auditing of four San Mateo County Event Center Improvement Projects partially funded by the County General Fund.

The four projects are the San Mateo County Resiliency Center (SMCRC), the Cypress Restroom Project, the RV Park Project, and the CalOES Generator Project. The selected firm will review project management procurement, payment procedures and records, bidding and selection processes, construction expenditures, contractor payment applications, invoices, change orders, contract modifications, labor and material costs, and supporting documentation. The review will determine whether amounts billed were properly supportable under the applicable contract and consistent with approved project records.

The work is investigative. It addresses allegations of financial accountability and seeks to identify potential overpayments, mispayments, and unsupported costs, verify contractual compliance, and deliver findings and opportunities for improvement to the County's construction procurement, contract administration, and financial controls. Place of performance is San Mateo County, California.

Posted October 26, 2026, the opportunity includes a contract template labeled for agreements under $200,000 and a solicitation PDF posted October 23, 2026. The source does not name an incumbent, a contract value, or evaluation criteria in the opportunity description.
