Question: Is there a requested/preferred project completion timeline and/or date? Answer: While there is no set completion date, we would expect the auditor to place his/her full attention to this and complete within two months of the start date, or date of the executed contract. If there are unforeseen delays in providing necessary information in order to complete the audit, the town would be reasonable in expectations. 3. Question: What is the budgeted amount for this project? Answer: There is no defined budget. If you would like to identify the cost of the basic items listed in the RFP and then potentially any other options which you feel may require further exploration - that would be very helpful. 4. Question: Is the Town requesting an in-person final presentation for this project - or any other in-person engagements beyond a minimum of one visit (1-2 business days) by the consultant during this project? Answer: I would expect the audit to include interviews with members of SIFD and surrounding FDs as well as others as needed. I would expect those to be conducted in person so it may require more than 1-2 days to complete all of that work. A final public presentation during a regularly scheduled Town Council meeting will be required. 5.
