FC CASE <br /> <br />AWARD CONTRACT FOR PROFESSIONAL AUDIT SERVICES <br /> By: Jessie Hart, Finance Officer <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />On July 23, 1996, the City Council authorized the preparation and distribution of Requests for <br />Proposals for Professional Audit Services [RFP]. This is a professional service and, therefore, is <br />not bound by the statutory bidding laws. <br /> <br />RFP's [copy attached] were mailed directly to seven firms, each of which is currently active in <br />the Minnesota Government Finance Officers Association [MNGFOA] and all of which actively <br />audit cities in the metropolitan area. Those firms solicited are as follows: <br /> <br />Boeckermann, Heinen and Mayer, CPA's <br />Bloomington, Minnesota <br /> <br />Deloitte & Touche <br />Minneapolis, Minnesota <br /> <br />Eide, Helmeke & Co. <br />Minneapolis, Minnesota <br /> <br />Kern, DeWenter, Viere, LTD. <br />St. Cloud, Minnesota <br /> <br />Malloy, Montague, Karnowski, Radosevich & Co., P.A. <br />Minneapolis, Minnesota <br /> <br />McGladrey & Pullen <br />Minneapolis, Minnesota <br /> <br />Tautges, Redpath & Co., LTD <br />White Bear Lake, Minnesota <br /> <br />The RFP requested a three-year contract, for the City and the Fire Relief Association, with <br />guaranteed not-to-exceed prices for each of the three years. It was also requested that a deduct <br />amount be provided as an option to the auditors preparing the report [in reproducible form] with <br />the City making the copies. <br /> <br />The proposals are due on Monday, September 23, 1996, at 3:00 p.m., therefore, the results were <br />not available for the preparation of this case. It is anticipated that the information summarized <br />and recommendation will be available at the meeting. <br /> <br /> <br />
