MATERIAL WEAKNESS

During testing we noted the District entered into a contract for a shower remodel project that totaled $83,385 with no formal bids being obtained or documented by the District. Context: We reviewed all purchases of equipment and real property from Education Stabilization Funds. Questioned Costs: None Effect: The District did not follow its policies and procedures pertaining to procurement of assets and as such may not have gotten the best price for the property acquired. Cause: The District separated the procurement of the project into two parts. One was for the labor to be provided by the contractor for the remodel of the locker rooms which was under the District's bid threshold. The other part consisted of the District agreeing to purchase the supplies and materials related to the remodel for the contractor. This allowed the District to circumvent the policies and procedures relating to procurement that were adopted by the board of trustees. Auditor's Recommendation: We recommend that the District reviews project cost prior to entering into agreements to ensure that the project does not exceed the District's bid solicitation requirements. View of Responsible Officials: There was a misunderstanding of the total cost of the project. The District had to pay for the materials up front due to worries of the supply chain and prices for materials increasing. The contractor was paid separately in installments. In the future the District will review projects for total cost and insure the bid process is followed.
