Subject:
Informal Request for Proposal (RFP) for 2010 Annual Financial Audit
Services
The El Paso County Emergency Services Agency (ESA) requests proposals from interested
individuals or firms to perform annual financial audit services.
The selected firm will audit the
ESA’s 2010 financial statements, with an option to perform future year audits at the ESA’s
discretion.
Details on the expectations are contained in this informal RFP.
Background:
The ESA was created by an intergovernmental agreement between the City of Colorado
Springs and El Paso County to provide for ground emergency ambulance transport service in an
exclusive service area that includes most of El Paso County.
It does so through a five-year
contract with American Medical Response of Colorado, Inc. that went into effect on January 1,
2009.
The ESA is governed by a 12-member appointed board that consists of elected officials,
emergency medical services professionals, and citizens.
It receives no tax revenues.
Instead,
the ESA’s operating expenses are funded entirely by contract administration fees paid by the
ESA’s ground emergency ambulance contractor.
The ESA also administers an EMS grant
program that provides EMS training, equipment and supplies for EMS providers in El Paso
County.
Funding for the grant program come from assessments received from the contractor as
liquidated damages for violations of response time and other performance standards included in
the contract.
The ESA does not employ any staff directly; instead, it contracts with the City of Colorado
Springs and El Paso County for employees to perform business administration and contract
compliance services.
The ESA’s proposed 2011 budget is attached, and more information
regarding the ESA can be found on its website at
www.esaboard.org
.

Concerning the El Paso County Emergency Services Agency.
•
Deliver a written audit report that meets the requirements of the Local Government Audit
Law (CRS §29-1-603).

Process:
The selection process for this contract will be conducted using a flexible and informal
solicitation.
The individual or firm will be selected by a small committee with representatives
selected by the ESA Board of Directors.
