177.123: AGREEMENT FOR BIENNIAL AUDIT FISCAL YEARS 1978 AND 1979
ALEXANDER GRANT AND COMPANY): The Executive Director reported on
four proposals received for performance of the Housing Authority's
Biennial Audit for the fiscal years 1978 and 1979, recommending
approval of an agreement with Alexander Grant and Company.
In response to question by Authority Member Roth, Mr. Priest advised
that the four proposals received were evaluated from the perspective
of cost, experience with housing authorities, and location of the
firms for ready availability. The recommended firm, although they
did not submit the low quotation for the audit, had experience with
a number of housing authorities and, in fact, had conducted the most
recent audit of the City's HUD Section 8 funding.
Mr. Roth expressed the opinion that the firm which submitted the
lowest quotation appeared to be well-qualified and should be allowed
the opportunity to perform the audit.
80-2
ANAHEIM HOUSING AUTHORITY, JANUARY 2, 1980, 1:00 P.M.
In reply to question by Mr. Seymour, Mr. Priest pointed out that the
Federal Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) would
review the completed audit and if the Alexander Grant Company were
the contractor, they would be dealing with an experienced firm whose
work was familiar to them.
Mr. Seymour noted that the audit would be done for the Federal
government which would be paying for it through the City's use of
Federal funding, and although there was a $1,400 difference between
the low quotation and the one from the recommended firm, he felt the
expertise of the more experienced Grant Company would insure the
impeccability of the Housing Authority's audit.
Mr. Roth expressed the opinion that new firms were making an attempt
to enter the fields of housing, air quality, etc., and that he would
be satisfied to contract with the low bidder for the audit.
Mr. Seymour offered Resolution No. AHA80-1 for adoption. Refer to
Resolution Book.
RESOLUTION N0. AHA80-l: A RESOLUTION OF THE ANAHEIM HOUSING AUTHORITY
APPROVING THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF AN AGREEMENT WITH ALEXANDER
