On Call Financial Services

The City of Charlotte, North Carolina, issued RFP 269-2027-2177 to secure qualified firms for on-call comprehensive financial and accounting services supporting the Metropolitan Public Transportation Authority. The engagement focuses on ensuring strong financial stewardship, transparent reporting, and strict compliance with federal, state, and Authority regulations. Key responsibilities include general ledger maintenance, accounts receivable management, complex annual operating budget assistance, and cash flow monitoring. A significant portion of the scope involves grant management, requiring the contractor to maintain separate accounting for FTA and state DOT contributions, manage SAM.gov registrations, and prepare Federal Financial Reports and Milestone Progress Reports. Proposals must be submitted via the Bonfire procurement portal by November 2, 2026, and must include a pricing response, client references, and a subcontractor utilization commitment emphasizing Small Business Enterprise participation. The resulting contract will be governed by North Carolina law, with venue in Mecklenburg County, and requires compliance with E-Verify, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and specific state prohibitions regarding investments in Iran or boycotts of Israel. The City maintains the right to terminate the agreement for convenience with 30 days written notice, and invoices are generally paid within 30 days of receipt, provided they are submitted within 60 days of the service date.
