To: Mayor Seymour Gelber and
Members of the City Commission
From: Jose Garcia-Pedrosa ,71
City Manager
Subject: Award of RFP 95-94/99, to provide Independent Auditing Services
Administrative Recommendation
The Administration recommends that the Mayor and City Commission award the auditing services
for the City to the joint venture of KPMG Peat Marwick and Verdeja & Gracier and to award the
auditing services contract for the Visitor's and Convention Authority and the Spectacor Management
Group to Watson& Company as recommended by the Selection Committee.
Background
The City of Miami Beach is required to have an independent audit of the accounting records of the
City annually. This audit function has been performed by the firm of Deloitte & Touche for many
years. The City has informally established a rotation policy limiting the engagement of an auditing
firm to not more than five years. This was the impetuous to develop and sent out the RFP for these
services. Proposals were received from five firms for this service. The Proposals were sent to the
Audit Committee for review and selection. The Audit Committee appointed a subcommittee
consisting of Commissioner Susan Gottlieb, Commissioner David Pearlson and Tamara Nixon to
review and select the auditors for the 1994/95 fiscal year. The selection unanimously recommended
the joint venture of KPMG Peat Marwick and Verdeja& Gracier for the City audit and the firm of
Watson & Company for the audits of the Visitor's and Convention Authority and Spectacor
Management Group.
Conclusion
The Administration requests that the Mayor and City Commission adopt the selection committee's
recommendation and award the RFP for auditing services to the joint venture of KPMG Peat
Marwick and Verdeja& Gracier and to Watson& Company.
