About this opportunity
The School Board of Citrus County, Florida (CCSB) is soliciting competitive sealed proposals for external independent auditing services through a Request for Proposal (RFP) for fiscal years 2025 through 2029. The procurement seeks a licensed Certified Public Accounting firm to conduct annual audits as required by Florida Statutes, Section 218.39 and the Rules of the Auditor General, covering the district's 21 schools serving approximately 15,000 students. Key deliverables include comprehensive auditing services for the General Fund, Debt Service Fund, Capital Project Funds, Special Revenue Funds, and federal funds, with specific exclusions for School Internal Accounts and charter schools. Proposers must demonstrate a minimum of five years of experience providing auditing services to local governments, specifically Florida school districts, and comply with Government Auditing Standards. The proposal is due on April 22, 2025, at 2:00 PM EST, with an evaluation committee meeting scheduled for May 6, 2025, and potential interviews if needed. Evaluation will likely focus on the firm's qualifications, experience, proposed approach, and pricing structure.
The RFP does not specify any specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The contract will have an initial five-year term with the possibility of four additional one-year renewals through June 30, 2034. Based on the district's final budget of $352,029,906 for the 2023-2024 fiscal year, the contract represents a significant professional services opportunity. The proposal requires firms to submit comprehensive pricing, including firm fixed annual audit fees and professional hourly rates for additional services, with prices remaining firm for the first twelve months. Proposers must complete various required forms, including conflict of interest declarations and drug-free workplace certifications. The district has historically been audited by the Auditor General due to the county's population size and has not previously engaged an outside firm for district audits. Pricing will be submitted through a detailed Proposal Price Form that includes rates for various professional roles such as Partner, Manager, Supervisor, Senior Accountant, Junior Accountant, and Paraprofessional.
