Procurement & Suspension/Debarment
SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCYOTHER MATTERS

During our testing of SCAG’s provisions for procurement requirements, we noted that not all required provisions were provided at the time of the contract award for two (2) of the four (4) contracts selected for testing. Of the applicable provisions for these two (2) contracts, based on the type and value of the contract, we noted the following missing provisions: 1. Legal remedies for breach of contract (Provision A) (1 instance) 2. Termination for cause and convenience (Provision B) (2 instances) 3. Clean Air Act and Federal Water Pollution Control Act (Provision G) (1 instance) 4. Suspension and Debarment (Provision H) (1 instance) 5. Byrd Anti-Lobbying (Provision I) (2 instances) Cause: SCAG did not consistently ensure that the applicable required provisions were communicated to contractors. Effect: SCAG did not include the applicable required provisions of the contract to the contractors at the time of the contract award. By failing to include all required provisions, contracts may not know the requirements they need to comply with. Questions Costs: No questioned costs were identified as a result of our procedures. Context/Sampling: A nonstatistical sample of 4 out of 9 procurement contracts were selected for procurement and suspension and debarment testing. Repeat Finding from Prior Year(s): No. Recommendation: We recommend that SCAG modify and strengthen the current policies and procedures to ensure that all applicable required provisions are communicated to contractors in accordance with 2CFR Appendix II to Part 200. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Action Management agrees. See separate corrective action plan.

Corrective Action Plan

Finding 001 Summary: During the FY 2024-25 testing, it was noted that not all required provisions were provided at the time of the contract award for two (2) of the four (4) contracts selected. Responsible Individual for the Implementation of the Corrective Action Plan: Cindy Giraldo, Chief Financial Officer Erika Bustamante, Deputy Director Corrective Action Plan: SCAG is in the process of amending the affected contracts, as applicable, to incorporate the required federal contract provisions under 2 CFR Part 200. In addition, as of March 2026, SCAG has implemented an updated SCAG Procurement Policy & Procedures Manual, which strengthens procurement controls and standardizes contract requirements for federally funded procurements. To further strengthen internal controls, SCAG will implement the following measures: • Standardized contract templates that incorporate required federal contract provisions. • Procurement checklists and review procedures requiring staff to verify that all federal provisions are included prior to contract execution. These actions are intended to ensure that all applicable required provisions are communicated to contractors and included in contracts executed under federal awards. Anticipated Completion Date: April 2026
