Controller: 2nd Review Confirms LACCD Bidding Problems

A second review of the process used by the Los Angeles Community College District to select an Inspector General has confirmed the serious problems pointed out in the Controller's initial audit.

In August 2011, the Controller's Office reviewed LACCD’s Proposition A/AA and Measure J Bond Expenditures. One of the audit findings questioned the integrity of the process used to award a contract to an Inspector General to oversee the construction program.

After the release of the audit, the LACCD suggested that the Controller's Office used the wrong key for scoring bidders and produced a new key. The existence of a second key was never brought to the attention of the Controller's Office during the audit, and raised additional red flags, prompting the Controller's Office to perform a subsequent review to ensure that all pertinent evidence has been fully considered.
