There are no specific set-aside designations or restrictions noted for disadvantaged enterprises in the procurement documents. The Agency, a joint powers authority created by the Salida Sanitary District, Salida Union School District, Modesto High School District, and Salida Fire Protection District, does not indicate preferences for specific organizational types. The current audit firm, Hawks & Associates CPAs, Inc., prepared the most recent financial statements for fiscal year 2025, but they are not explicitly named as an incumbent vendor for this new procurement. While the Agency has outstanding special tax bonds of $8,083,762 issued for capital facility financing, no specific integration requirements with existing infrastructure or technology are mentioned. The compensation structure will be based on hourly rates for partners, managers, in-charge accountants, and staff accountants, with the Agency retaining ten percent of each payment until all deliverables are accepted and approved by the State Controller's Office. Although a precise award value is not specified, the Agency's financial statements indicate annual special tax revenues of approximately $2.3 million, which may provide context for the potential contract's scope and value.
