Finance committee recommends Porter Meredith and Jones Simpkins for audit work; board to decide tomorrow
Summary
The county’s finance committee recommended a three-year audit-preparation contract with Porter Meredith, Courtney & Howard ($192,000 total; $61,000 year 1) and a professional compliance audit engagement with Jones Simpkins LLC ($228,500 total; $75,500 year 1); the board will vote in the regular meeting.
County staff reviewed bids for audit-preparation and professional compliance audit services and presented the finance committee's recommendations to commissioners.
The recommendation for audit-preparation services was Porter Meredith, Courtney & Howard for a three-year total of $192,000, with the first year priced at $61,000. For professional financial compliance audits the finance committee recommended Jones Simpkins LLC; the three-year total for that engagement was presented as $228,500 with a first-year charge of $75,500. Staff said the lowest-priced respondent for audit preparation did not meet RFP requirements and would require multiple change orders.
Commission members discussed the absence of a physical Wyoming office for the low-cost firm Jones Simpkins but noted three Wyoming counties report satisfaction with that firm. The board deferred final action to the regular meeting on the agenda for the following day.
