A. Discussion and Committee Recommendation Regarding Auditors Selection
Process – Smith
Finance Director Nelson Smith reported that every five years the City conducts an
auditor’s selection process to review auditors and enter into a five year
agreement with the auditor. The current process resulted in four firms submitting
proposals; of which three of the four firms met the experience requirement to
perform the City’s audit. The lowest bid received was from the local firm Brown
Armstrong – Bakersfield, CA in the amount of $59,800.
Committee member Ken Weir asked how many firms are sent the requests for
proposals.
Mr. Smith stated the request was posted on the City’s online vendor and bid
management system. The local firms who have shown interest in the past were
also contacted.
Committee member Weir made a motion to recommend the lowest bid received
to the full Council for approval.
The motion was unanimously approved.
