The engagement structure includes a three-year base contract (fiscal years 2023–2025) with optional one-year renewals for fiscal years 2026 and 2027, each optional year requiring separate annual Borough Council appointment, annual appropriation, satisfactory performance, and mutual agreement. Evaluation prioritizes relevant municipal audit experience, engagement-team qualifications, technical approach and schedule adherence, internal controls expertise, references and independence, and overall value.
