Committee flags travel and hotel charges as evaluation factors for out-of-town audit firms
Summary
Members noted two respondents are based out of town and asked staff to verify whether proposals include travel and hotel costs so total contract comparisons are accurate.
Committee members and staff flagged travel and lodging fees as factors that could change the effective cost of engaging out-of-town respondents.
A staff member told the committee to review the proposals for additional charges, saying members should be "aware" of the potential for extra costs such as hotels and travel when ranking firms. The staff member recommended checking whether fees were all-inclusive or if travel costs would be passed through.
The committee planned to review those details at the July 18 ranking meeting before making a recommendation to the council.
