La Plata County (the County) invites qualified firms to submit proposals for certified public accountants to audit the County’s financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2017. These audits are to be performed in accordance with applicable auditing standards. The audit contract shall have a renewal option, by offer from the County and acceptance by the audit firm, of auditing the County’s financial statements for each of the four subsequent fiscal years, subject to continued availability and appropriation of such funds. The bid prices, including any annual adjustments as stated in the accountant’s proposal, shall remain in effect for this and subsequent terms. Because this Agreement involved the expenditure of public funds, this contract is contingent upon continued availability of such funds for payment. The obligations described herein shall not constitute a general obligation, indebtedness or multiple year direct or indirect debt or other financial obligation whatsoever with the meaning of the constitution or the laws of the State of Colorado.
