Notes to SEFA

Under the terms of federal and state grants, additional audits may be requested by the grantor agencies and certain costs may be questioned as not being appropriate expenditures under the terms of the grants. Such audits could lead to a request for reimbursement to the grantor agencies.

Finding Details

The City did not adequately document or perform procurement procedures in accordance with the requirements of 2 CFR Part 200 (Uniform Guidance) and its own established purchasing policy. Specifically, costs incurred under the program were not supported by evidence of competitive bidding, cost or price analysis, or other required procurement steps
The City did not provide documentation or audit evidence demonstrating that suspension and debarment checks were performed for three vendors selected for testing. These vendors were contracted under a federally funded program, and no records were available to confirm that the City verified their eligibility prior to entering into contractual agreements.
