BACKGROUND:
Background
City Commission directed Staff during the budget process to go out to bid for a Forensic Audit. The Commission approved as part of the Fiscal Year 2025 - 2026 budget an amount of $500,000 for this audit.
Staff developed a scope of work as shared with Commission from the Cities of Belle Glade and Apopka an issued RFP 25020 on September 1, 2025. Due to the overwhelming number of questions received (59 in total), the original RFP Due Date of October 13, 2025, had to be extended until October 30, 2025, to allow for time to respond.
The City only received one responsive bid that met the requirements and qualifications of this solicitation and that was from Carr, Riggs & Ingram based out of Miramar Beach, FL.
To accept the bid, additional funds would be required in the amount of $825,000 to be allocated towards this initiative.
