Committee backs $3.8M amendment to AECOM ARPA compliance contract to ensure Treasury audit readiness
Summary
The committee moved line item 5.1 to form with recommendation to approve a $3.8 million increase to AECOM Great Lakes' ARPA compliance contract, citing heightened Treasury scrutiny and the need to stay audit‑ready.
The committee approved sending to form with a recommendation to approve an amendment adding $3,800,000 to an existing ARPA compliance contract with AECOM Great Lakes (contract 6003758‑82). Harry Daniels, deputy CFO for the Office of Development and Grants, told the committee that the funds will extend services through the end of FY2027 and help the city remain "audit ready" for Treasury and other audits.
"We are adding another $3,800,000 to take us through the end of, through the 2027," Daniels said, describing the assistance as crucial to maintaining grant compliance and avoiding the risk of having to pay back ARPA funds. Daniels said the work includes ensuring correct expenditure coding and heightened scrutiny by Treasury.
Member Santiago Romero asked whether the additional dollars represented unforeseen work or completion of previously planned work; Daniels said it was a combination of both and estimated the contract amount is roughly 3% of ARPA programming costs.
The committee voted by voice to send the amendment to form with a recommendation to approve; no objections were recorded.
