OTHER MATTERS

The School Board did not obtain an affidavit as described above prior to accepting the bid and commencing construction for a public works contract. Cause: Failure to properly monitor the bidding process for public works led to this condition. Effect: Because the required affidavit was not obtained during the bid/award process, the School Board is not in compliance with the Louisiana Public Bid Law. Recommendation: We recommend that all required bid documents, including affidavits and agreements, be included during the bidding/award process for the execution of public works contracts.

2022-001 Noncompliance with the Louisiana Public Bid Law Criteria: Louisiana R.S. 38:2224 requires an affidavit attesting that a public contract was not secured through employment or payment of solicitor must be obtained by the contracting entity (the School Board). The law applies to all architects, landscape architects, engineers, contractors, subcontractors, or any person, corporation, firm, association, or other organization receiving value for services rendered in connection with a contract for the construction, alteration or demolition of a public building or project. Condition: The School Board did not obtain an affidavit as described above prior to accepting the bid and commencing construction for a public works contract. Cause: Failure to properly monitor the bidding process for public works led to this condition. Effect: Because the required affidavit was not obtained during the bid/award process, the School Board is not in compliance with the Louisiana Public Bid Law. Recommendation: We recommend that all required bid documents, including affidavits and agreements, be included during the bidding/award process for the execution of public works contracts.

Corrective Action Plan

Although it was not done during the bidding process as required by the Louisiana Public Bid Law, management of the St. Mary Parish School Board did obtain the required signed affidavit during the course of the audit for fiscal year ended June 30, 2022. The School Board contracted an outside engineering firm who handled the bidding process for the public works project in question. It was the understanding of the School Board that all required procedures had been followed. Management will implement procedures to enhance its monitoring of the bidding process whether performed in-house or outsourced.
