Procurement & Suspension/Debarment
SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCY

The City follows the required procurement standards under the Uniform Guidance as the pass-through agency, the Florida Department of Transportation, requires proof of compliance as part of the approval process with the projects. However, the procurement policy in place at the City fails to reference the applicable rules under the Uniform Guidance, has certain missing required verbiage, lacks micro-purchase threshold procedures, and does not make mention of entering into covered transactions with entities that are not suspended, debarred, or otherwise excluded from participating in the transaction as defined in 2 CFR section 180.995. Questioned costs: None Context: Our testing of procurement transactions noted a single contractor was properly awarded the construction work under the project. The procurement process did not have any exceptions, but the procurement policy does not meet all requirements. Cause: The City has not updated the procurement policy since January 2012, before the Uniform Guidance became effective. Effect: Failure to update the policy could cause current or future federal grants to be out of compliance with federal regulations. Repeat Finding: No Recommendation: We recommend the City update its procurement policy to include all requirements of the Uniform Guidance. Views of responsible officials: There is no disagreement.

Procurement Policy Federal agency: U.S. Department of Transportation Federal program title: Highway Planning and Construction Cluster Assistance Listing Number: 20.205 Pass-Through Agency: Florida Department of Transportation Pass-Through Number(s): G0H93 Award Period: December 29, 2016 through June 30, 2022 Type of Finding: ? Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Compliance Criteria or specific requirement: Uniform Guidance, which became effective on December 26, 2014, is codified in Title 2 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). Under these rules certain general procurement policies are required to be in writing and performed in action. The OMB Compliance Supplement for the Highway Planning and Construction Cluster requires the auditor to review the procurement policy in place to ensure all required verbiage is included within the document. In addition, auditors are required to ensure the selected transactions follow proper procurement processes. Condition: The City follows the required procurement standards under the Uniform Guidance as the pass-through agency, the Florida Department of Transportation, requires proof of compliance as part of the approval process with the projects. However, the procurement policy in place at the City fails to reference the applicable rules under the Uniform Guidance, has certain missing required verbiage, lacks micro-purchase threshold procedures, and does not make mention of entering into covered transactions with entities that are not suspended, debarred, or otherwise excluded from participating in the transaction as defined in 2 CFR section 180.995.

Cash Management
SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCY

The reimbursement requests and related reports required to be submitted with the requests are compiled and signed by the Airport Manager or Interim Airport Manager. There is no evidence of review by another individual before submittal to the grantor. The review process is important in order to detect and correct errors. Questioned costs: None. Context: Five reimbursement requests were tested. There was no evidence of review performed by another individual separate from the preparer before submittal. Cause: While inquiry indicated that review occurs before submittal to the grantor, the City has not documented the review process. Effect: Failure to document the review does not provide evidence to auditors or grantors to conclude that appropriate internal controls are in place. Repeat Finding: No. Recommendation: We recommend that the reviewer of the reimbursement requests document their review on the requests by signing their name and dating when the review occurred.
