WSNT2026-005 Fiscal Monitoring Services

Workforce Solutions North Texas is seeking qualified entities to provide financial monitoring reviews and fiscal integrity reviews of subrecipients to ensure compliance with obligations under its agreements with the Texas Workforce Commission and the U.S. Department of Labor. The scope is strictly limited to fiscal monitoring and explicitly excludes single audit services. The contractor must operate within the eleven Texas counties served by WSNT—Archer, Baylor, Clay, Cottle, Foard, Hardeman, Jack, Montague, Wichita, Wilbarger, and Young—and adhere to the standards outlined in the TWC Financial Manual for Grants and Contracts and Texas Administrative Code Chapter 802, as well as state and federal regulations including GAAP, the Social Security Act, the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2005, the Balanced Budget Act of 1997, and multiple chapters of the Texas Administrative Code. Proposals must be submitted electronically by 4:00 p.m. CDT on July 23, 2026, and must include required certifications, a completed response template, budget, cover sheet, and documentation of HUB status if applicable. The solicitation requires a detailed work plan with realistic timelines, a clear demonstration of the firm’s monitoring process, and strong evidence of personnel qualifications—all evaluated on a 105-point scale with a minimum passing score of 70. The initial contract term is one year, beginning October 1, 2026, and ending September 30, 2027, with the possibility of up to four one-year renewals at WSNT’s discretion. Contractors must maintain comprehensive insurance coverage, including general liability ($500,000 per occurrence/$1,000,000 aggregate), errors and omissions (at contractor’s expense, not funded by contract dollars), motor vehicle liability ($100,000 per occurrence/$300,000 aggregate/$100,000 property damage), and workers’ compensation for all employees. All records must be retained for seven years after service completion or audit closure, and contractors are obligated to indemnify WSNT for damages arising from improper disclosure of confidential information. Deliverables include draft and final monitoring reports, with final reports subject to approval by the WSNT Board, along with supporting work papers and presentations to the Monitoring Committee. Proposals must be submitted in a specific format using 12-point font, sequential pagination, and organized in the designated order. WS
