Finding #24-001 – Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Financial Reporting: Procurement Program Names: 3rd Street Housing Project Eagle Community Pool Replacement CFDA Titles and Numbers: 21.027 Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds Federal Agency: United States Treasury Pass-through Agency: Colorado Department of Local Affairs Award Year: December 31, 2024 Condition: No formal Federal procurement policy has been adopted by the Town of Eagle, Colorado, resulting in a lack of internal controls over Federal procurement. Criteria or Specific Requirement: The Town of Eagle, Colorado, must comply with procurement standards set out at 2 CFR sections 200.303 and 200.318 through 200.326 within Uniform Guidance. Per 2 CFR section 200.303(a), a non-Federal entity must: Establish and maintain effective internal control over the Federal award that provides reasonable assurance that the non-Federal entity is managing the Federal award in compliance with Federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of the Federal award. These internal controls should be in compliance with guidance in “Standards for Internal Control in the Federal Government” issued by the Comptroller General of the United States or the “Internal Control Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). UG §200.318 General Procurement Standards. (i) The non-Federal entity must maintain records sufficient to detail the history of procurement. These records will include, but are not necessarily limited to, the following: Rationale for the method of procurement, section of contract type, contractor selection or rejection, and the basis for the contract price. UG §200.320 states that the non-Federal entity must use one of the prescribed methods of procurement: (a) Informal Procurement methods. When the value of the procurement for property or services under a Federal award does not exceed the simplified acquisition threshold (SAT), as defined in §200.1, or a lower threshold established by a non-Federal entity, formal procurement methods are not required. The non-Federal entity may use informal procurement methods to expedite the completion of its transactions and minimize the associated administrative burden and cost. The informal methods used for procurement or property or services at or below the SAT include: (1) Micro-purchases. Procurement by micro-purchase is the acquisition of supplies or services, the aggregate dollar amount of which does not exceed the micro-purchase threshold (see definition of micro-purchase in §200.1). To the maximum extent practicable, the non-Federal entity should distribute micro-purchases equitably among qualified suppliers. Micro-purchases may be awarded without soliciting competitive price or equitably among qualified suppliers. Micro-purchases may be awarded without soliciting competitive price or rate quotations if the non-Federal entity considers the price to be reasonable based on research, experience, purchase history or other information and documents it files accordingly. Purchase cards can be used for micro-purchases if procedures are documented and approved by the non-Federal entity. (2) Small purchase. Procurement by small purchase is the acquisition of property or services, the aggregate dollar amount of which is greater than the micro-purchase threshold but does not exceed the simplified acquisition threshold. If small purchase procedures are used, price or rate quotations must be obtained from an adequate number of qualified sources as determined appropriate by the non-Federal entity. (b) Formal procurement methods. When the value of the procurement for property or services under a Federal financial assistance award exceeds the SAT, or a lower threshold established by a non-Federal entity, formal procurement methods are required. Formal procurement methods require following documented procedures. Formal procurement methods also require public advertising unless a non-competitive procurement can be used in accordance with §200.319 or paragraph (c) of this section. The following formal methods of procurement are used for procurement of property or services above the simplified acquisition threshold or a value below the simplified acquisition threshold the non-Federal entity determines to be appropriate: (1) Sealed Bids. Bids are publicly solicited, and a firm fixed-price contract (lump sum or unit price) is awarded to the responsible bidder whose bid, conforming with all the material terms and conditions of the invitation for bids, is the lowest in price. (2) Proposals. Either a fixed price or cost-reimbursement-type contract is awarded. Proposals are generally used when conditions are not appropriate for the use of sealed bids. (c) Noncompetitive procurement. There are specific circumstances in which noncompetitive procurement can be used. Noncompetitive procurement can only be awarded if one or more of the allowed circumstances apply. Questioned Costs: N/A Context: Although the Town of Eagle, Colorado, had not adopted a formal Federal procurement policy as outlined in 2CFR sections 200.303 and 200.318 through 200.326, during the course of our federal single audit testing of transactions and contracts, we found that the Town’s general contract purchase procedures that were followed meet the requirements of the Uniform Guidance and that no contracts were awarded without proper justification in 7 or 7 procurement transactions tested. Cause: Management was not aware of the requirement of adopting a formal Federal procurement policy under the procurement standards set out at 2CFR sections 200.303 and 200.318 through 200.626 within Uniform Guidance. Effect: The Town of Eagle, Colorado, is at risk for noncompliance with Federal grants as it relates to procurement. Recommendation: We recommend that the Town of Eagle, Colorado, adopts a formal Federal procurement policy to include all elements identified in 2CFR Sections 200.303 and 200.318 through 200.626. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Action: Management agrees with this finding and will adopt a formal Federal procurement policy which includes all elements identified in 2CFR Sections 200.303 and 200.318 through 200.626.

Criteria or Specific Requirement: The Town of Eagle, Colorado, must comply with procurement, suspension & debarment standards set out at 2 CFR section 200.303 et al. within Uniform Guidance. Per 2CFR section 200.303(a), a non-Federal entity must: Establish and maintain effective internal control over the Federal award that provides reasonable assurance that the non-Federal entity is managing the Federal award in compliance with Federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of the Federal award. These internal controls should be in compliance with guidance in “Standards for Internal Control in the Federal Government” issued by the Comptroller General of the United States or the “Internal Control Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). 2CFR 200.213 Suspension and Debarment restricts awards, subawards, and contracts within certain parties that are debarred, suspended, or otherwise excluded from or ineligible for participation in Federal assistance programs or activities. 2CFR 180.300 states that an entity may determine suspension and debarment status by: (a) Checking SAM (System for Award Management) Exclusions; or (b) Collecting a certification from that person; or (c) Adding a clause or condition to the covered transaction with that person Questioned Costs: N/A Context: Although the Town of Eagle, Colorado, does not have policies or procedures in place to ensure that they do not contract with or make subawards to parties that are suspended or debarred, we did not identify any instances where Federal grant awards were paid to suspended or debarred vendors for 16 of 16 suspension and debarment transactions selected for testing. Cause: Management was not aware of the requirements for determining suspension and debarment status under 2CFR section 180 within Uniform Guidance. Effect: The Town of Eagle, Colorado, is at risk for noncompliance with Federal grants as it relates to suspension and debarment. Recommendation: We recommend that the Town of Eagle, Colorado, implement policies and procedures to ensure that potential vendors are not suspended or debarred prior to contracting with them for goods and services. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Action: Management agrees with this finding and will implement policies and procedures to ensure that potential vendors are not suspended or debarred prior to contracting with them for goods and services.

Per 2 CFR section 200.303(a), a non-Federal entity must: Establish and maintain effective internal control over the Federal award that provides reasonable assurance that the non-Federal entity is managing the Federal award in compliance with Federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of the Federal award. These internal controls should be in compliance with guidance in “Standards for Internal Control in the Federal Government” issued by the Comptroller General of the United States or the “Internal Control Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). UG §200.318 General Procurement Standards. (i) The non-Federal entity must maintain records sufficient to detail the history of procurement. These records will include, but are not necessarily limited to, the following: Rationale for the method of procurement, section of contract type, contractor selection or rejection, and the basis for the contract price. UG §200.320 states that the non-Federal entity must use one of the prescribed methods of procurement: (a) Informal Procurement methods. When the value of the procurement for property or services under a Federal award does not exceed the simplified acquisition threshold (SAT), as defined in §200.1, or a lower threshold established by a non-Federal entity, formal procurement methods are not required. The non-Federal entity may use informal procurement methods to expedite the completion of its transactions and minimize the associated administrative burden and cost. The informal methods used for procurement or property or services at or below the SAT include: (1) Micro-purchases. Procurement by micro-purchase is the acquisition of supplies or services, the aggregate dollar amount of which does not exceed the micro-purchase threshold (see definition of micro-purchase in §200.1). To the maximum extent practicable, the non-Federal entity should distribute micro-purchases equitably among qualified suppliers. Micro-purchases may be awarded without soliciting competitive price or rate quotations if the non-Federal entity considers the price to be reasonable based on research, experience, purchase history or other information and documents it files accordingly. Purchase cards can be used for micro-purchases if procedures are documented and approved by the non-Federal entity. (2) Small purchase. Procurement by small purchase is the acquisition of property or services, the aggregate dollar amount of which is greater than the micro-purchase threshold but does not exceed the simplified acquisition threshold. If small purchase procedures are used, price or rate quotations must be obtained from an adequate number of qualified sources as determined appropriate by the non-Federal entity. (b) Formal procurement methods. When the value of the procurement for property or services under a Federal financial assistance award exceeds the SAT, or a lower threshold established by a non-Federal entity, formal procurement methods are required. Formal procurement methods require following documented procedures. Formal procurement methods also require public advertising unless a non-competitive procurement can be used in accordance with §200.319 or paragraph (c) of this section. The following formal methods of procurement are used for procurement of property or services above the simplified acquisition threshold or a value below the simplified acquisition threshold the non-Federal entity determines to be appropriate: (1) Sealed Bids. Bids are publicly solicited, and a firm fixed-price contract (lump sum or unit price) is awarded to the responsible bidder whose bid, conforming with all the material terms and conditions of the invitation for bids, is the lowest in price. (2) Proposals. Either a fixed price or cost-reimbursement-type contract is awarded. Proposals are generally used when conditions are not appropriate for the use of sealed bids. (c) Noncompetitive procurement. There are specific circumstances in which noncompetitive procurement can be used. Noncompetitive procurement can only be awarded if one or more of the allowed circumstances apply. Questioned Costs: N/A Context: Although the Town of Eagle, Colorado, had not adopted a formal Federal procurement policy as outlined in 2CFR sections 200.303 and 200.318 through 200.326, during the course of our federal single audit testing of transactions and contracts, we found that the Town’s general contract purchase procedures that were followed meet the requirements of the Uniform Guidance and that no contracts were awarded without proper justification in 7 or 7 procurement transactions tested. Cause: Management was not aware of the requirement of adopting a formal Federal procurement policy under the procurement standards set out at 2CFR sections 200.303 and 200.318 through 200.626 within Uniform Guidance. Effect: The Town of Eagle, Colorado, is at risk for noncompliance with Federal grants as it relates to procurement. Recommendation: We recommend that the Town of Eagle, Colorado, adopts a formal Federal procurement policy to include all elements identified in 2CFR Sections 200.303 and 200.318 through 200.626. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Action: Management agrees with this finding and will adopt a formal Federal procurement policy which includes all elements identified in 2CFR Sections 200.303 and 200.318 through 200.626.

Criteria or Specific Requirement: The Town of Eagle, Colorado, must comply with procurement standards set out at 2 CFR sections 200.303 and 200.318 through 200.326 within Uniform Guidance. Per 2 CFR section 200.303(a), a non-Federal entity must: Establish and maintain effective internal control over the Federal award that provides reasonable assurance that the non-Federal entity is managing the Federal award in compliance with Federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of the Federal award. These internal controls should be in compliance with guidance in “Standards for Internal Control in the Federal Government” issued by the Comptroller General of the United States or the “Internal Control Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). UG §200.318 General Procurement Standards. (i) The non-Federal entity must maintain records sufficient to detail the history of procurement. These records will include, but are not necessarily limited to, the following: Rationale for the method of procurement, section of contract type, contractor selection or rejection, and the basis for the contract price. UG §200.320 states that the non-Federal entity must use one of the prescribed methods of procurement: (a) Informal Procurement methods. When the value of the procurement for property or services under a Federal award does not exceed the simplified acquisition threshold (SAT), as defined in §200.1, or a lower threshold established by a non-Federal entity, formal procurement methods are not required. The non-Federal entity may use informal procurement methods to expedite the completion of its transactions and minimize the associated administrative burden and cost. The informal methods used for procurement or property or services at or below the SAT include: (1) Micro-purchases. Procurement by micro-purchase is the acquisition of supplies or services, the aggregate dollar amount of which does not exceed the micro-purchase threshold (see definition of micro-purchase in §200.1). To the maximum extent practicable, the non-Federal entity should distribute micro-purchases equitably among qualified suppliers. Micro-purchases may be awarded without soliciting competitive price or equitably among qualified suppliers. Micro-purchases may be awarded without soliciting competitive price or rate quotations if the non-Federal entity considers the price to be reasonable based on research, experience, purchase history or other information and documents it files accordingly. Purchase cards can be used for micro-purchases if procedures are documented and approved by the non-Federal entity. (2) Small purchase. Procurement by small purchase is the acquisition of property or services, the aggregate dollar amount of which is greater than the micro-purchase threshold but does not exceed the simplified acquisition threshold. If small purchase procedures are used, price or rate quotations must be obtained from an adequate number of qualified sources as determined appropriate by the non-Federal entity. (b) Formal procurement methods. When the value of the procurement for property or services under a Federal financial assistance award exceeds the SAT, or a lower threshold established by a non-Federal entity, formal procurement methods are required. Formal procurement methods require following documented procedures. Formal procurement methods also require public advertising unless a non-competitive procurement can be used in accordance with §200.319 or paragraph (c) of this section. The following formal methods of procurement are used for procurement of property or services above the simplified acquisition threshold or a value below the simplified acquisition threshold the non-Federal entity determines to be appropriate: (1) Sealed Bids. Bids are publicly solicited, and a firm fixed-price contract (lump sum or unit price) is awarded to the responsible bidder whose bid, conforming with all the material terms and conditions of the invitation for bids, is the lowest in price. (2) Proposals. Either a fixed price or cost-reimbursement-type contract is awarded. Proposals are generally used when conditions are not appropriate for the use of sealed bids. (c) Noncompetitive procurement. There are specific circumstances in which noncompetitive procurement can be used. Noncompetitive procurement can only be awarded if one or more of the allowed circumstances apply.

Cause: Management was not aware of the requirements for determining suspension and debarment status under 2CFR section 180 within Uniform Guidance. Effect: The Town of Eagle, Colorado, is at risk for noncompliance with Federal grants as it relates to suspension and debarment. Recommendation: We recommend that the Town of Eagle, Colorado, implement policies and procedures to ensure that potential vendors are not suspended or debarred prior to contracting with them for goods and services. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Action: Management agrees with this finding and will implement policies and procedures to ensure that potential vendors are not suspended or debarred prior to contracting with them for goods and services.

Finding #24-003 – Procurement Program Names: 3rd Street Housing Project Eagle Community Pool Replacement CFDA Titles and Numbers: 21.027 Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds Federal Agency: United States Treasury Pass-through Agency: Colorado Department of Local Affairs Award Year: December 31, 2024 Condition: No formal Federal procurement policy has been adopted by the Town of Eagle, Colorado, resulting in a lack of compliance with Federal procurement. Criteria or Specific Requirement: The Town of Eagle, Colorado, must comply with procurement standards set out at 2 CFR sections 200.303 and 200.318 through 200.326 within Uniform Guidance. Per 2 CFR section 200.303(a), a non-Federal entity must: Establish and maintain effective internal control over the Federal award that provides reasonable assurance that the non-Federal entity is managing the Federal award in compliance with Federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of the Federal award. These internal controls should be in compliance with guidance in “Standards for Internal Control in the Federal Government” issued by the Comptroller General of the United States or the “Internal Control Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). UG §200.318 General Procurement Standards. (i) The non-Federal entity must maintain records sufficient to detail the history of procurement. These records will include, but are not necessarily limited to, the following: Rationale for the method of procurement, section of contract type, contractor selection or rejection, and the basis for the contract price. UG §200.320 states that the non-Federal entity must use one of the prescribed methods of procurement: (a) Informal Procurement methods. When the value of the procurement for property or services under a Federal award does not exceed the simplified acquisition threshold (SAT), as defined in §200.1, or a lower threshold established by a non-Federal entity, formal procurement methods are not required. The non-Federal entity may use informal procurement methods to expedite the completion of its transactions and minimize the associated administrative burden and cost. The informal methods used for procurement or property or services at or below the SAT include: (1) Micro-purchases. Procurement by micro-purchase is the acquisition of supplies or services, the aggregate dollar amount of which does not exceed the micro-purchase threshold (see definition of micro-purchase in §200.1). To the maximum extent practicable, the non-Federal entity should distribute micro-purchases equitably among qualified suppliers. Micro-purchases may be awarded without soliciting competitive price or rate quotations if the non-Federal entity considers the price to be reasonable based on research, experience, purchase history or other information and documents it files accordingly. Purchase cards can be used for micro-purchases if procedures are documented and approved by the non-Federal entity. (2) Small purchase. Procurement by small purchase is the acquisition of property or services, the aggregate dollar amount of which is greater than the micro-purchase threshold but does not exceed the simplified acquisition threshold. If small purchase procedures are used, price or rate quotations must be obtained from an adequate number of qualified sources as determined appropriate by the non-Federal entity. (b) Formal procurement methods. When the value of the procurement for property or services under a Federal financial assistance award exceeds the SAT, or a lower threshold established by a non-Federal entity, formal procurement methods are required. Formal procurement methods require following documented procedures. Formal procurement methods also require public advertising unless a non-competitive procurement can be used in accordance with §200.319 or paragraph (c) of this section. The following formal methods of procurement are used for procurement of property or services above the simplified acquisition threshold or a value below the simplified acquisition threshold the non-Federal entity determines to be appropriate: (1) Sealed Bids. Bids are publicly solicited, and a firm fixed-price contract (lump sum or unit price) is awarded to the responsible bidder whose bid, conforming with all the material terms and conditions of the invitation for bids, is the lowest in price. (2) Proposals. Either a fixed price or cost-reimbursement-type contract is awarded. Proposals are generally used when conditions are not appropriate for the use of sealed bids. (c) Noncompetitive procurement. There are specific circumstances in which noncompetitive procurement can be used. Noncompetitive procurement can only be awarded if one or more of the allowed circumstances apply. Questioned Costs: N/A Context: Although the Town of Eagle, Colorado, had not adopted a formal Federal procurement policy as outlined in 2CFR sections 200.303 and 200.318 through 200.326, during the course of our federal single audit testing of transactions and contracts, we found that the Town’s general contract purchase procedures that were followed meet the requirements of the Uniform Guidance and that no contracts were awarded without proper justification in 7 or 7 procurement transactions tested. Cause: Management was not aware of the requirement of adopting a formal Federal procurement policy under the procurement standards set out at 2CFR sections 200.303 and 200.318 through 200.626 within Uniform Guidance. Effect: The Town of Eagle, Colorado, is at risk for noncompliance with Federal grants as it relates to procurement. Recommendation: We recommend that the Town of Eagle, Colorado, adopts a formal Federal procurement policy to include all elements identified in 2CFR Sections 200.303 and 200.318 through 200.626. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Action: Management agrees with this finding and will adopt a formal Federal procurement policy which includes all elements identified in 2CFR Sections 200.303 and 200.318 through 200.626.
