RFP Professional Auditing Services

The Olean Urban Renewal Agency is seeking proposals from qualified Certified Public Accounting firms to perform a comprehensive financial and compliance audit of its operations for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026, with the possibility of renewal for up to three additional years. The scope of services includes planning and executing the audit, testing documentary evidence, evaluating internal controls, reviewing management letters, and preparing both draft and final audit reports, which will be distributed in multiple copies and electronically. The audit must adhere to established standards such as GAAP, GAAS, GAGAS, GAS, GAAFR, and OMB guidelines. The contract is valued between $20,000 and $80,000, and the project will be conducted at the agency’s location in Olean, NY, covering all New York State counties. Key deadlines include a proposal submission due date of December 5, 2025, with questions regarding the RFP due by November 19, 2025. The selection process involves evaluation based on experience, cost, and approach, with potential interviews by a review committee. The agency emphasizes transparency and encourages participation from disadvantaged, women-owned, minority-owned, service-disabled, and veteran-owned businesses, although there are no set-aside goals for these categories. The contract history indicates that Bysiek, CPA, PLLC previously held a similar one-year contract starting in January 2022, with options for renewal. The overall process aims to ensure a thorough, compliant, and professional audit service for the agency’s operations across all relevant New York State jurisdictions.
