Audit Services for Pearce Elementary School District

The Pearce Elementary School District #22 is soliciting proposals for professional audit services to be performed by a qualified Certified Public Accountant. The scope of work includes conducting an annual financial audit of the district's transactions and accounts, auditing the statement of net assets for employee benefits, and completing the Uniform Systems of Financial Records Compliance Questionnaire. The initial contract term covers the FY 25-26 audit, with options for renewal for four additional years covering FY 26-27 through FY 2029-2030. All services must comply with industry best practices and Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200 regarding federal award expenditure thresholds. Proposals must be submitted electronically via OpenGov by October 26, 2026, at 2:00 PM MST. The contract will be awarded based on the most advantageous proposal, evaluated through a points-based system that considers both cost and technical qualifications, though price will not be the sole determining factor. Key administrative requirements include a net 30-day payment term, the maintenance of a current W-9, and strict adherence to data confidentiality and non-discrimination laws. The district also requires certifications regarding a drug-free workplace and the prohibition of forced labor.
