TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Commission
FROM: Joseph Centorino, Inspector General
DATE: February 24, 2025
PROJECT: Summary of Risk Assessment Activity
Summary Period: August 31, 2024, through January 31, 2025
OIG No.: 25-02
The Office of the Inspector General monitors the City’s procurement process with the cooperation
of the Procurement Department to provide a Risk Assessment on each City contract with a dollar
amount more than $1,000,000 or that involves a project that is likely to be publicly debated or to
result in publicity. The OIG uses a Risk Assessment tool that provides pertinent information related
to nine risk factors about the nature and conditions of each project or program in question. The
OIG calculates and applies assessment scores to rate each selected contract as having a high,
medium, or low risk level.
When a contract is found to have a high-risk score of 23 points or higher, the OIG Contract
Oversight Specialist notifies the Inspector General, the Procurement Director and the Contracting
Officer of the finding. A high-risk score indicates a solicitation that the OIG intends to follow and
alerts the City Administration to high-risk contracts that may merit special managerial oversight.
The OIG Contract Oversight Specialist follows High Risk contracts through the procurement
process by attending evaluation meetings and reviewing procurement documents. The same
scrutiny may also be applied to medium or low risk procurements in the event of a bid protest or
other complaint received by the OIG.
During the period of August 31, 2024, through January 31, 2025, the Procurement Department
issued approximately 94 solicitations of which 21 were determined to have a value greater than
$1,000,000. Of the 21 solicitations, 9 indicated a low-risk score, 3 indicated a medium risk score,
and 9 indicated a high-risk score.
The solicitations identified as high-risk during the six-month period and their current status include
the following:
