Question 1
Posted: 10/7/2021
Question: At the pre-bid, it was referenced that the leases could be reviewed, are these being provided as an addendum to the RFP, or do we need to arrange to come on site? At the pre-bid, the statement was made that you did not want/need a GAAP audit. Can you provide additional detail as to what is acceptable (Agreed-Upon Procedures, Consulting, etc.) with respect to reporting format and procedures? Reference was also made to comparing the work to a "cost audit". Did you mean a cost certification audit whereby it's determined if costs are valid, there are no overcharges, etc.? If so, do you have guidance on how much of costs should be tested, etc.?

Can you provide additional detail as to what is acceptable (Agreed-Upon Procedures, Consulting, etc.) with respect to reporting format and procedures? Answer: We are looking for the vendors to provide report formats for our consideration. The readability of the reports is one of the selection criteria. We don’t have a preferred format. We don’t have particular audit procedures in mind. We will discuss and negotiate procedures when we negotiate price. Question: Reference was also made to comparing the work to a "cost audit". Did you mean a cost certification audit whereby it's determined if costs are valid, there are no overcharges, etc.? Answer: Yes. We don’t need an audit that meets all of the GAAP requirements. Question: If so, do you have guidance on how much of costs should be tested, etc.? Answer: We don’t have guidance. We will rely on the vendor to provide recommendations.
