Commission approves shortlist for temporary accounting services, authorizes awards to top firms
Summary
The commission accepted staff recommendations to place up to three temporary accounting firms on an on-call roster (top recommendations: Cherry Becker, Edie Bailey, and R E D W) to help with audit readiness and day-to-day finance operations; staff will issue award letters and negotiate service specifics.
After a competitive RFQ process for temporary accounting services, staff reported seven applicants narrowed to five qualified firms and recommended retaining up to three vendors for on-call support. The evaluation committee recommended three firms based on qualifications and an aggressive 90‑day plan to stabilize finance operations and assist audit preparation; staff explained the on-call arrangement would not guarantee minimum work but would allow rapid engagement when needed.
"So, after the evaluation process, it was, my advisement, for the top 3, to proceed," the finance committee lead said, recommending Cherry Becker, Edie Bailey and R E D W. Commissioners voted to approve award letters to the recommended firms and authorized staff to negotiate contracts consistent with the RFQ.
