Background:
|
The Office of Board Governance is requesting authorization to extend a contract with Baker Tilly US, LLP (formerly Baker Tilly Virchow Krause, LLP) to perform fiscal audit and student membership audit services. This contractor will be used to deliver required audits of the district’s financial records and accounts and audits of membership counts.
Baker Tilly provides State and Board required audits with these audits performed in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the standards set forth for financial audits in the Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, OMB, and State Single Audit Guidelines issued by the Wisconsin Department of Administration.
Baker Tilly was chosen pursuant to RFP 1028, which closed on February 5, 2020. The original contract had a term of July 1, 2020, through June 30, 2023, (the “Initial Term”), with two additional one-year options to extend if certain performance metrics incorporated into the contract are met.
The performance metrics that were applicable were met by Baker Tilly. Based on continuity of services along with continuity of the Baker Tilly team that has performed this engagement, it is requested that the first one-year option be approved at this time.
The term of the contract will be from July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024 and will not exceed $327,170 |
