Fabens ISD to repost forensic‑audit RFQ after receiving no proposals; board votes to reopen process
Summary
The district’s finance director reported the RFQ for a forensic financial audit drew no proposals. Trustees voted 4–3 to repost the request for qualifications after discussing scope, outreach and timeline options.
Director of finance Lydia Nunez told trustees the district posted a request for qualifications for forensic audit services but received no proposals during the published submission window. "At the close of the submission period, no responses or proposals were received," Nunez said, explaining the RFQ had been posted in the West Texas Courier on March 12 and 19 and then on the district website on March 25, with a request to extend the deadline.
Trustees discussed potential reasons for the lack of responses, including the possibility that the scope was too broad and that further outreach beyond newspaper posting might be needed. The administration recommended modifications to the scope or a more targeted solicitation approach. A motion to repost the RFQ for a three‑month period passed 4–3; the minutes record three trustees voting against the motion and the board asked administration to return with a proposed timeline and any revised scope for the reposted solicitation.
Trustees discussed practical deadlines for questions and submissions and acknowledged the legal posting requirements that govern procurement. The board’s direction instructs administration to repost and set a specific response window, with deadlines to be published in the solicitation materials.
