Professional Auditing Services

The City of Sarasota requires professional auditing services from qualified certified public accountant firms to audit its financial statements for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2027, and the two subsequent fiscal years. The selected vendor must provide reports covering all city funds, required supplementary information, internal controls, and compliance testing offsite in accordance with applicable federal and state standards. Only US organizations authorized to transact business in Florida are eligible to bid. Proposers or their assigned key personnel must possess at least three years of experience providing similar auditing services. Proposals must be submitted digitally via email or online by November 17, 2026, at 2:30 pm, and all questions must be submitted by October 28, 2026. Submissions must include an introductory letter, minimum qualification documentation, a statement of organization, required insurance certificates, and a completed pricing table. An Audit Committee will evaluate proposals based on selection criteria point values and rank the proposers. If used, pricing scores will be calculated by dividing the lowest proposed price by the proposer's price and multiplying by the maximum available points. The contract term is three years, and award will be made to the most responsible and responsive proposer.
