Federal Economic Recovery Program American Reinvestment And Recovery Act Program Support Services
The purpose of this RFP is to select a contractor to assist the Energy Commission in the management,
oversight, and implementation of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. The Energy
Commission is seeking the services of a management consulting and audit services firm to assist the
Energy Commission in the proper stewardship surrounding the administration, reporting, accounting
and transparency of the ARRA funds received from the federal government. In addition the Energy
Commission is seeking a contractor that will provide services that: identify and implement technical and
non-technical options for fraud waste and abuse prevention and detection; evaluate the Energy
Commissions existing internal and external financial controls including its contract, grant and loan
processes for the implementation of funding awards; assist with overall program support by providing
management and auditing, training, technical assistance, reporting and communication services.
To successfully administer ARRA funds, the Energy Commission must determine that its internal
processes, procedures and controls are adequately developed and fully implemented to allow for
transparency and accountability throughout the entire program and implementation process. To
address reporting requirements of the Department of Energy (DOE), Office of Budget and Management
(OMB) and the Governors Recovery Task Force, the Energy Commission is developing and
implementing a reporting and tracking system that meets state and federal requirements.
