SUBJECT: (ALL) Authorize Execution of a Professional Services Agreement with BKD, LLP
for External Financial Audit Services in an Amount Not to Exceed $900,000.00 per Year
for a Three -Year Initial Term with Two One -Year Renewal Options
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize execution of a professional services agreement with
BKD, LLP to provide external financial audit services for the City of Fort Worth in an amount not to
exceed $900,000.00 per year for a three-year initial term with two one-year renewal options.
DISCUSSION:
The Financial Management Services Department (FMS) will use the professional services agreement
with BKD, LLP (BKD) to obtain external financial audit services for the City. Services will include
review of the City's financial statements to ensure conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles, examination of compliance with requirements established by state law and the City Charter
and Ordinances and certain limited procedures involving supplementary information required by the
Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB). All services will be provided in accordance with
generally accepted auditing standards as set forth by the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants and Government Auditing Standards.
On April 19, 2021, a request for qualifications (RFQ) external financial audit services was issued by
FMS with a proposal deadline of May 10, 2021. Proposals addressing evaluation criteria that
included experience and performance for comparable government engagements, implementation of
GASB statements, quality of professional personnel, availability of technical consultation, proposed
staffing plan, techniques, analytical procedures, Diversity and Inclusion (DVIN) participation and price
were received from the following firms:
BKD, LLP
CLA
Crowe, LLP
Deloitte & Touche LLP
RS M
Weaver & Tidwell, L.L.P. d/b/a Weaver
The proposals were evaluated by the selection committee (Committee), which consisted of key staff
from the FMS, Water and Internal Audit Departments. The proposals were evaluated based on the
following criteria:
Firm's Qualifications and Experience (50\%)
Understanding the Needs of the City (25\%)
Commitment to Business Equity (15\%)
Reasonableness of Costs (10\%)
The top three responding firms were invited to give a presentation and participate in an interview
process. Based on ratings received in both processes, BKD was ranked the highest. The Committee
agrees the recommended firm meets specifications and that its price is fair and reasonable. Staff from
the DVIN office scored the commitment to business equity component of the evaluation criteria. The
RFQ and proposal received from the selected firm are attached.
