a. CCPS intends to purchase under this solicitation for a certified public accounting firm to provide external independent auditing services for the District’s Financial Services Department for each fiscal year as outlined herein. All awarded contractors under this solicitation will provide CCPS with a proper source of supply(iers) that are responsive and readily available to meet CCPS needs and requirements with minimum delay in service. All potential proposers, who wish to be considered for the award of these services, shall submit and fulfill the requirements as listed herein. b. Due to the wide variance of services and restricted budgets, CCPS will not be obligated to any set dollar amount and therefore a contract award only guarantees a source of supply for services. The contractor will be responsible for all services required under this solicitation as assigned and ordered by CCPS, including but not limited to all administration, management, supervision, labor, equipment, chemicals, supplies, tools, transportation, and other materials as necessary to provide all required items and service as described herein. c. The contractor certifies that it is an independent contractor and shall not employ, contract with or otherwise use the services of any officer or employee of the School Board or District. The contractor certifies that its owner(s), officers, directors or agents, or members of their immediate family, do not have an employee relationship or other material interest with the School Board and/or CCPS.
