No bids received for county auditing services; clerk directed to solicit and negotiate contract
Summary
The board acknowledged that no sealed bids were received for auditing services and authorized the county clerk/auditor to contact potential firms and negotiate a contract to fill the auditing requirement.
When the board opened sealed bids for auditing services, county staff reported that no bids were received. Commissioners moved to acknowledge the absence of bids and authorized the county clerk/auditor to reach out to prospective firms and negotiate a contract to provide auditing services.
A commissioner noted the county has several firms in mind and the clerk indicated an intent to contact those firms, including the current auditor the county has used, to seek proposals or negotiate terms. The motion to authorize staff to proceed carried by voice vote.
Next steps: The clerk/auditor’s office will contact prospective auditing firms, solicit proposals or negotiate directly, and return to the board with a recommended contract award when a suitable provider is identified.
