FIRST ORDER OF BUSINESS Roll Call 

 Ms. Giles called the meeting to order at 6:00 p.m. and called the roll. 

 

SECOND ORDER OF BUSINESS Review and Ranking of Proposals Received in 
Response to the RFP 

A. Berger, Toombs, Elam, Gaines, and Frank 
B. Grau & Associates 
C. Richie C. Tandoc 
D. McIntosh 


The Audit Committee reviewed the audit proposals received in response to the District’s 
Request for Proposals (RFP) for independent auditing services, as required by Florida Statute 218. 


Committee members confirmed that the evaluation criteria previously approved by the Board 
complied with statutory requirements and discussed the four proposals submitted. 

Committee members expressed satisfaction with the District’s current auditor, noting their 
familiarity with the District, timely service, competitive pricing, and overall performance. The 
Committee discussed the advantages of retaining the incumbent auditor while also considering the 
qualifications, experience, and pricing submitted by the other responding firms. 

During the discussion, Committee members raised questions regarding differences 
between the current audit fees and the proposed pricing, contract history, escalation clauses, and 
the experience of the competing firms. Additional clarification was requested regarding prior 
services provided to other communities and the qualifications of certain firms. Staff explained that 
only the information contained within the submitted proposals could be considered as part of the 
evaluation process. 

As the Committee began scoring the proposals using the approved evaluation matrix, 
members determined that additional time was needed to review the proposals and complete 
individual rankings. By consensus, the Committee agreed to table the evaluation and scoring of 
the audit proposals to a future Audit Committee meeting to allow members additional opportunity 
to complete their review before making a recommendation.
