RFP - Audit Services 2004
- YEAR CREATED: 2004
- ENTITY TYPE: Utilities
- TYPE OF DOCUMENT: RFP - Request for Proposals
- Finance
The document is a Request for Proposal (RFP) for Audit Services issued by HRSD (Hampton Roads Sanitation District). The document provides instructions and requirements for potential offerors to submit proposals for providing audit services to HRSD.
The document specifies that any additional material that does not fall within the requirements of the RFP should be inserted at an appropriate place or attached at the end of the proposal. It also states that proposals should be organized in a specific manner to ensure that the evaluators can easily find where the RFP requirements are addressed.
The document emphasizes that all data, materials, and documentation originated and prepared for HRSD pursuant to the RFP will belong exclusively to HRSD and may be subject to public inspection. However, trade secrets or proprietary information submitted by an offeror will not be subject to public disclosure if the offeror invokes the protections of HRSD's Procurement Manual in writing. The offeror must clearly identify the trade secret or proprietary information and mark the corresponding pages as "confidential."
The document outlines the specific requirements for the proposal, including the submission of the HRSD RFP Cover Sheet, Certificate of Insurance, Offeror's Data Sheet, written narrative statement, and specific plans for providing the proposed goods/services. It also states that nonbinding cost estimates should not be submitted with the initial response but will be discussed at a later stage.
The evaluation criteria for the proposals include the audit team's experience, prior audit experience of the firm, organization and structure of the firm, and the firm's understanding and technical experience related to the scope of work.
The document explains the process for awarding the contract, which involves engaging in discussions with qualified offerors, conducting interviews, and negotiating a contract with the most meritorious offeror. It also provides a timeline for the submission of certain items by specific dates.
The document mentions a pre-proposal conference that will be held to allow potential offerors to ask questions and obtain clarification. Attendance at the conference is encouraged but not mandatory.
Lastly, the document includes a certification requirement for bidders/offerors to conform to anti-discrimination laws, including the Virginians With Disabilities Act, the Americans With Disabilities Act, and the Virginia Public Procurement Act of 1975, as amended, where applicable.
