Are separate Municipal Utilities required to use a written request for proposals (RFP) process for annual examinations (consistent with the RFP requirements for audits)?

Yes. Separate Municipal Utilities must use a written RFP process to engage a CPA firm to perform the separate Municipal Utilities required annual examination. The separate Municipal Utilities is not required to use an RFP if the separate Municipal Utilities' Board hires the Office of Auditor of State to perform the required annual examination.
