Comprehensive Payroll Audit

Judson Independent School District is soliciting proposals under RFQ 26-06 for a qualified consulting or public accounting firm to conduct a comprehensive payroll audit for fiscal years 2024-2025 and 2025-2026. The selected vendor will use a hybrid testing strategy combining 100% automated data analytics with targeted statistical sampling to identify financial impacts, such as overpayments and uncollected surcharges. Following the audit, the contractor must design and develop a sustainable, impartial, and competitive district-wide compensation plan for administrative, instructional, paraprofessional, and auxiliary pay structures, including financial modeling and budget impact analyses. Key deliverables include a finalized work plan, preliminary and final audit reports, a formal presentation to the Board of Trustees, and comprehensive pay structure documentation. Eligible firms must possess at least five years of experience providing these specific services to Texas public school districts. Proposals are due by September 8, 2026, and must be submitted as one original sealed envelope and one USB copy; email or facsimile submissions are prohibited. Evaluation is based on a weighted point system prioritizing the vendor's reputation, quality of services, and the extent to which the proposal meets district needs. The contract requires compliance with various certifications, including Senate Bill 9, the Buy America Act, and non-boycott of Israel. Payment terms are Net 30 days, and all purchase orders are contingent upon the availability of appropriations from the JISD Board of Trustees.
