RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the County Administrator, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with Burr Pilger Mayer Inc., effective July 31, 2017, to extend the term from August 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018 and increase the payment limit by $31,000 to a new payment limit of $198,580, for professional accounting services.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The fees for the professional accounting services are charged to the cost center for County Building Costs. (100% County General Fund)

BACKGROUND:

On April 9, 2012, the County issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for qualified certified public accountant firms to prepare financial statements for the Contra Costa County Public Financing Authority (the "PFA"). As part of the County’s annual financial reporting and auditing process, the PFA is required to develop stand-alone financial statements. These statements are then included in the County’s larger audited annual financial report.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

The County Administrator's Office is therefore requesting to renew the current contract for one additional year. In 2018, this contract along with a companion contract for audit services will be put out to bid.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The Public Financing Authority will not have the expertise necessary to prepare their annual financial statements.
