Independent Auditing Services for Fiscal Years 2026-2028

The Town of Orleans is soliciting sealed technical and price proposals from independent Certified Public Accounting (CPA) firms. These firms must be licensed to practice in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and possess demonstrated experience in performing municipal financial statement audits within the state. The Town intends to award a three-year contract for these independent audit services, covering Fiscal Years 2026, 2027, and 2028. The contract award is contingent upon appropriation and required Town approvals. Proposals must be submitted in two separate parts: a technical proposal and a sealed price proposal. The price proposal should detail an all-inclusive, not-to-exceed fee for each fiscal year. This fee must encompass all personnel, travel, clerical, administrative, and indirect costs. Additionally, hourly rates for any services extending beyond the base scope of work must be clearly identified. Proposals must be submitted in a sealed envelope clearly marked "RFP: Independent Auditing Service".
