RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the County Administrator, or designee to amend a contract with Macias Gini & O'Connell, LLP, effective June 1, 2016, to extend the term from May 31, 2016 through May 31, 2018 and increase the payment limit by $718,845 to a new payment limit of $1,720,900 for continued professional auditing services for the Countywide and Single Audit.

FISCAL IMPACT:

General Fund allocation for the mandated audits is included in the Board of Supervisors - Administration budget. 100% County General Fund.

BACKGROUND:

The California Government Code requires the Board of Supervisors to examine and audit the accounts of all offices having the care, management, collection or disbursement of money belonging to the County or money received or disbursed by them under the authority of the law. In addition, an audit of the County's Federal Financial Assistance Programs is required under the current Single Audit Act.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On April 17, 2013, the County issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for Professional Auditing Services. Three firms submitted proposals. After a panel review and interviews, Macias Gini & O’Connell, LLP (MGO) was selected to serve the County for the next three years with the option of renewing for an additional two years. The County Administrator’s Office wishes to exercise this option.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The County will be unable to comply with the California Government Code and the Single Audit Act.
