Memorandum
AGENDA
ITEM NO.: 4
DATE: April 19, 2011
TO: Andrew G. Pasmant, City Manager
and City Council
FROM: Tom Bachman, Assistant City Manager
SUBJECT: AWARD OF BID — INDEPENDENT AUDITING SERVICES
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council award a contract to Diehl, Evans & Company, LLP to
provide auditing services for fiscal years 2010/11 through 2014/15 and authorize the Assistant
City Manager/Finance Director to execute a contract with Diehl, Evans & Company, LLP.
DISCUSSION:
In 2003, the City of West Covina entered into a five-year contract with the independent auditing
firm of Conrad and Associates (which later became Mayer Hoffinan McCann) to provide
auditing services to the City for fiscal years 2002/03 through 2006/07. The City extended that
contract in March 2008 to include fiscal years 2007/08 through 2009/10.
In February 2011, the City sent a Request for Proposal for Auditing Services to twelve firms,
with four firms responding. The proposals consisted of two parts: a technical proposal and a
sealed cost bid. The technical proposals and the cost bids were rated independently of each other
and the two scores were then added together. The technical proposal included information about
the firm's qualifications, experience and audit approach. While the cost was an important factor,
it was not intended to be the overriding factor in the selection. The ratings of the firms, in order
of total score, were as follows:
• Technical Total 2010/11
Qualifications Price Score Price
Diehl, Evans & Company, LLP 67.50 30.00 97.50 $36,506
Vavrinek, Trine, Day & Co., LLP 69.00 25.00 94.00 $41,680
Rogers, Anderson, Malody & Scott, LLP 55.50 20.00 75.50 $43,825
Sotomayor CPAs 45.00 22.00 67.00 $42,673
Based on technical qualifications, and taking price into consideration, staff interviewed the top
three firms. It was felt that their qualifications, experience and proposals were superior to those
of the other firm. The interviews gave staff an opportunity to meet the firm staff that would be
working the audit and further evaluate the qualifications of the firm. Based on the evaluations of
the proposals and firm interviews, staff is recommending the selection of Diehl, Evans &
Company, LLP to provide auditing services for the next five years.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The cost of the audit for the 2010/11 fiscal year is $36,506, which is less than the $43,900 spent
on the FY 2009/10 audit. Sufficient funds for auditing services have been included in the FY
2010/11 budget. The audit costs for years 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015 are $36,506, $37,237,
$37,982 and $38,741, respectively. The five-year cost of the contract is $186,972.
