Explanation
BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Director of the Department of Finance and Management to enter into contract with Booth Management Consulting, LLC to provide subrecipient monitoring professional services. The City of Columbus receives millions of dollars annually from the United States Government in the form of federal grants. The grants fund various programs and projects executed by City personnel. Periodically, the City partners with third parties to execute on the program or project scope. These third parties are considered subrecipients of federal funds and execute subaward agreements with the City. When the City issues a subaward to a subrecipient to carry out part of a federal program, the City is required by 2 CFR Part 200.332 to ensure subrecipients comply with applicable federal laws and regulations and with the provisions of each subaward agreement.
The City of Columbus utilized a Request for Proposals (RFP) process to identify and assess qualified Certified Public Accounting (CPA) firms to provide subrecipient monitoring professional services. Proposals were submitted in response to RFQ020261 in accordance with the relevant provisions of Chapter 329 of the Columbus City Codes pertaining to professional service contracts. Proposals were due November 15, 2021, and four (4) proposals were received. A committee reviewed the proposals and determined preliminary scores. The committee then identified a short list of vendors to conduct presentations. Booth Management Consulting, LLC received the highest overall score from the RFP committee and as such is being recommended for this subrecipient monitoring professional services contract. The term of the proposed contract would be approximately one year, expiring January 31, 2023, with the option to extend on a year to year basis for up to an additional three years.
