status of Small Local Business Enterprise certification for the proposed subcontractor and the potential use of contract funds for a financial audit of Measure Q.
1. Small Local Subcontractor
The staff report dated March 24, 2025 noted that Williams-Adley and Company-CA LLP, the proposed subcontractor, was in the process of re-establishing its certification as a Small Local Business Enterprise. On April 3, 2025, Williams-Adley and Company-CA LLP completed the certification process, and the firm is currently registered as a Small Local Business Enterprise with the City of Oakland. Macias Gini & O’Connell has proposed to utilize Williams-Adley for 20% of the contract value, consistent with the local business participation requirement established by the Department of Workforce & Employment Standards.
2. Measure Q Financial Audit
The proposed contract includes an undesignated line item for as-needed audit services. At the request of the Finance & Management Committee, the Finance Department will seek to use a portion of this funding for a financial audit of Measure Q, “The 2020 Oakland Parks and Recreation Preservation, Litter Reduction, and Homelessness Support Act.” Jestin D. Johsnon, City Administrator
