ATTACHMENT I
ACCOUNTING & AUDIT GUIDELINES FOR
AGREEMENTS WITH DEPARTMENT
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this information is to outline for you, a potential contractor with the California State
Department of Transportation (DEPARTMENT), the basic elements of an adequate accounting
system, and the types and objectives of audits that will be performed in relation to your contract.
In order to successfully compete for a contract and meet the audit requirements, a contractor
(whether a prime or subcontractor) must have a system of record keeping and internal control.
Although a specific cost accounting system is not required, a contractor needs a system which
will assure compliance with the terms of the agreement. A preaward audit will be performed to
assure you meet these requirements prior to contract execution. If your system is deficient, the
contract will not be executed.
DEPARTMENT reimburses, through your overhead rate, the costs attributable to establishing and
maintaining a cost accounting system.
Staff time and other costs related to an audit performed of your contract are also normally
reimbursed through your overhead rate.
ACCOUNTING SYSTEM
Contractors (whether a prime or subcontractor) planning to contract with DEPARTMENT must
have an accounting system which meets the following objectives:
. The ability to record and report financial data in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles.
. A system of record keeping to ensure that costs billed to DEPARTMENT are:
a. Supported by adequate documentation.
b. In compliance with the terms of the contract and applicable Federal and State
regulations specified in the contract.
. A system of record keeping which ideally includes the following:
.I~
l~
a. A General Ledger
b. Job cost ledger
c. Labor distributions
d. Time records
e. Subsidiary journals
2002-381
Agreement No. 08A0796
Attachment I
Page 2 of 5
f. Chart of accounts
g. Financial statements
. The ability to accumulate and segregate reasonable, allocable (incurred solely for a project)
and allowable (per terms of the contract) costs through the use of a cost accounting system.
The following are some of the attributes which would ideally be found in such a system:
a. A chart of accounts which includes indirect and direct general ledger accounts.
Indirect costs are not specifically identified to a project, for example, rent and/or
utilities. Direct costs are specifically identified with a project, for example,
drafting hours and/or design hours.
b. Segregation of costs by contract, category of cost and milestones (if applicable).
c. Proper recording of direct and indirect costs. For example, recording of labor
costs should provide that non-project indirect hours be recorded on a timesheet
and in the accounting records to an administration, vacation, sick leave or other
indirect cost accounVcode. Direct project hours should be recorded on a
timesheet and in the accounting records to a direct project cost accounVcode.
d. Consistent accounting treatment of costs in recording and reporting. For
example, if travel expense is charged directly to a project, all travel expense
incurred on any project should be considered a direct cost. As a result, project
related travel, whether reimbursable per the contract terms or not, should not be
included as an indirect cost.
e. Ability to trace from invoices submitted to DEPARTMENT to job cost records and
original, approved source documents, for example, timesheets, vendor invoices,
canceled checks.
l. Ability to reconcile job cost records to the accounting records.
.
Compliance with cost principles described in the Code of Federal Regulations 48, Federal
Acquisition Regulations System (FAR), Chapter 1, Parl31. Information on how to obtain this
regulation is described under "Audit Criteria" in this brochure.
.
Procedures to monitor and adjust projected overhead rates to actual rates.
.
Controls to ensure that written approval is obtained prior to any changes to the contract.
.
Procedures to retain accounting records and source documentation as required by the terms
of the contract.
.
A system of internal control which provides reasonable assurance that assets are protected;
financial data, records and statements are reliable; and errors and irregularities are promptly
discovered, reported, and corrected. The elements of a system of internal control should
include, but not be limited to, the following:
\\
a. Separation of duties for proper protection of assets. Incompatible duties are
those that place any person in a position to both perpetrate and conceal errors or
irregularities in the normal course of business. For example, the person who
writes checks should be different from the person who reconciles bank
statements and the person who purchases goods should be different from the
person who receives goods.
2002-381
Agreement No. 08A0796
Attachment I
Page 3 of 5
b. Limiting access to assets to only authorized personnel who require these assets
in the performance of their assigned duties. For example, blank check stock
should be locked in a safe when not in use.
c. Authorization and record keeping procedures which provide effective accounting
control over assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenditures.
d. A system of practices to be followed in the performance of duties and functions.
Such a system normally includes policies and procedures which establish the
purpose and requirements of the accounting system. For example,
timekeeping practices should ideally provide for the following:
Timesheets be prepared, signed, and dated by all employees.
Timesheets be completed in non-erasable ink.
Timesheet corrections be crossed-out and initialed by the employee.
Timesheets be signed by a supervisor as reviewed and retained on file
as required by the contract.
e. Personnel with skills and training commensurate with their responsibilities.
f. A system of internal review. For example, bank reconciliations and travel
expense claims should be reviewed approved and signed by a supervisor.
AUDITS
Contractors, whether a prime or subcontractor, performing under a negotiated contract with
DEPARTMENT are subject to the following audits:
PREAWARD AUDITS
Prior to the award of a contract, the DEPARTMENT Audits and Investigations will conduct a
preaward audit to determine if the contractor's accounting system is adequate to accumulate and
segregate costs as detailed in the previous section and to determine if the proposed costs are
reasonable. The audit alerts both the contractor and DEPARTMENT management to problems
relative to the contractor's cost proposal and cost accounting system. Due to time constraints in
the award process, your cooperation in scheduling the preaward audit with short notice will
expedite the execution of your contract.
INTERIM AUDITS
Interim audits are performed on an as needed basis. During the preaward audit, if it is
determined that the contractor's accounting system is new or minor deficiencies are noted, an
. r.~~rim audit is scheduled to determine that the system is functioning adequately to ensure that
tVIled costs are supported and that any deficiencies were corrected. An interim audit may be
requested by the
contract administrator or by DEPARTMENT management to address concerns during the course
of the contract. Also, an audit manager may initiate an interim audit of a long duration contract to
ensure that costs reimbursed to date are allowable.
POST AUDITS
Agreement No. 08A0796
Attachment I
Page 4 of 5
Post audits of contracts are performed routinely after project completion. Post audits are
performed to determine whether the costs claimed are allowable, allocable, reasonable, and in
compliance with the Federal and State laws and regulations as well as the fiscal provisions
stipuiated in the contract. The examination includes reviews of applicable laws and regulations,
the contract requirements and the contractor's internal controls systems. Audit tests of the
contractor's accounting records and other auditing procedures considered necessary will also be
performed. Applications of all audit procedures would also be governed by the individual contract
under audit. Unsupported or unallowable costs are normally the result of weaknesses in the
accounting system and will be reimbursed to DEPARTMENT.
2002-381
To provide contractors with a procedure for obtaining prompt and equitable resolution to a dispute
arising from a post-audit of a non. highway construction cost reimbursement contract,
DEPARTMENT has established an Audit Review Committee (ARC). Information explaining the
ARC should be found in your contract and/or as an attachment to the post-audit report.

obtainable, at a public or private sale, in accordance with established
DEPARTMENT procedures, and credit DEPARTMENT in an amount equal to the
sales price. If the AGENCY elects to keep the equipment, fair market value
shall be determined, at the AGENCY expense, on the basis of a competent,.
independent appraisal of such equipment. Appraisals shall be obtained from an
appraiser mutually agreeable to DEPARTMENT and AGENCY. If it is
determined to sell the equipment, the terms and conditions of such sale must be

ATTACHMENT I
ACCOUNTING & AUDIT GUIDELINES FOR
AGREEMENTS WITH DEPARTMENT
INTRODUCTION
The p~rpose of this information is to o~t1ine for you, a potential contractor with the California State
Department of Transportation (DEPARTMENT), the basic elements of an adeq~ate accounting
system, and the types and objectives of a~dits that will be pertormed in relation to yo~r contract.
In order to s~ccessfully compete for a contract and meet the audit requirements, a contractor
(whether a prime or subcontractor) must have a system of record keeping and internal control.
Altho~gh a specific cost accounting system is not required, a contractor needs a system which
will ass~re compliance with the terms of the agreement. A preaward a~dit will be performed to
assure yo~ meet these requirements prior to contract execution. If yo~r system is deficient, the
contract will not be executed.
DEPARTMENT reimb~rses, through yo~r overhead rate, the costs attributable to establishing and
maintaining a cost accounting system.
Staff time and other costs related to an audit pertormed of your contract are also normally
reimb~rsed thro~gh yo~r overhead rate.
ACCOUNTING SYSTEM
Contractors (whether a prime or s~bcontractor) planning to contract with DEPARTMENT m~st
have an acco~nting system which meets the following objectives:
. The ability to record and report financial data in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles.
. A system of record keeping to ensure that costs billed to DEPARTMENT are:
a. Supported by adeq~ate documentation.
b. In compliance with the terms of the contract and applicable Federal and State
regulations specified in the contract.
. A system of record keeping which ideally incl~des the following:
l~
l(
a. A General Ledger
b. Job cost ledger
c. Labor distributions
d. Time records
e. Subsidiary jo~rnals
'.
2002-381
Agreement No. 08A0796
Attachment I
Page 2 of 5
f. Chart of accounts
g. Financial statements
. The ability to accumulate and segregate reasonable, allocable (incurred solely for a project)
and allowable (per terms of the contract) costs through the use of a cost accounting system.
The following are some of the attributes which would ideally be found in such a system:
a. A chart of accounts which includes indirect and direct general ledger accounts.
Indirect costs are not specifically identified to a project, for example, rent and/or
utilities. Direct costs are specifically identified with a project, for example,
drafting hours and/or design hours.
b. Segregation of costs by contract, category of cost and milestones (if applicable).
c. Proper recording of direct and indirect costs. For example, recording of labor
costs should provide that non-project indirect hours be recorded on a timesheet
and in the accounting records to an administration, vacation, sick leave or other
indirect cost accounVcode. Direct project hours should be recorded on a
timesheet and in the accounting records to a direct project cost accounVcode.
d. Consistent accounting treatment of costs in recording and reporting. For
example, if travel expense is charged directly to a project, all travel expense
incurred on any project should be considered a direct cost. As a result, project
related travel, whether reimbursable per the contract terms or not, should not be
included as an indirect cost.
e. Ability to trace from invoices submitted to DEPARTMENT to job cost records and
original, approved source documents, for example, timesheets, vendor invoices,
canceled checks.
f. Ability to reconcile job cost records to the accounting records.
. Compliance with cost principles described in the Code of Federal Regulations 48, Federal
Acquisition Regulations System (FAR), Chapter 1, Part 31. Information on how to obtain this
regulation is described under "Audit Criteria" in this brochure.
. Procedures to monitor and adjust projected overhead rates to actual rates.
. Controls to ensure that written approval is obtained prior to any changes to the contract.
. Procedures to retain accounting records and source documentation as required by the terms
of the contract.
. A system of internal control which provides reasonable assurance that assets are protected;
,~ financial data, records and statements are reliable; and errors and irregularities are promptly
discovered, reported, and corrected. The elements of a system of internal control should
include, but not be limited to, the following:
a. Separation of duties for proper protection of assets. Incompatible duties are
those that place any person in a position to both perpetrate and conceal errors or
irregularities in the normal course of business. For example, the person who
writes checks should be different from the person who reconciles bank
statements and the person who purchases goods should be different from the
person who receives goods.
2002-381
Agreement No. 08A0796
Attachment I
Page 3 of 5
b. limiting access to assets to only authorized personnel who require these assets
in the performance of their assigned duties. For example, blank check stock
should be locked in a safe when not in use.
c. Authorization and record keeping procedures which provide effective accounting
control over assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenditures.
d. A system of practices to be followed in the performance of duties and functions.
Such a system normally includes policies and procedures which establish the
purpose and requirements of the accounting system. For example,
timekeeping practices should ideally provide for the following:
Timesheets be prepared, signed, and dated by all employees.
Timesheets be completed in non-erasable ink.
Timesheet corrections be crossed-out and initialed by the employee.
Timesheets be signed by a supervisor as reviewed and retained on file
as required by the contract.
e. Personnel with skills and training commensurate with their responsibilities.
f. A system of internal review. For exam pie, bank reconciliations and travel
expense claims should be reviewed approved and signed by a supervisor.
AUDITS
Contractors, whether a prime or subcontractor, performing under a negotiated contract with
DEPARTMENT are subject to the following audits:
PREAWARD AUDITS
Prior to the award of a contract, the DEPARTMENT Audits and Investigations will conduct a
preaward audit to determine if the contractor's accounting system is adequate to accumulate and
segregate costs as detailed in the previous section and to determine if the proposed costs are
reasonable. The audit alerts both the contractor and DEPARTMENT management to problems
relative to the contractor's cost proposal and cost accounting system. Due to time constraints in
the award process, your cooperation in scheduling the preaward audit with short notice will
expedite the execution of your contract.
INTERIM AUDITS
Interim audits are performed on an as needed basis. During the preaward audit, if it is
determined that the contractor's accounting system is new or minor deficiencies are noted, an
. i'l~~r.im audit is scheduled to determine that the system is functioning adequately to ensure that
~ed costs are supported and that any deficiencies were corrected. An interim audit may be
requested by the
contract administrator or by DEPARTMENT management to address concerns during the course
of the contract. Also, an audit manager may initiate an interim audit of a long duration contract to
ensure that costs reimbursed to date are allowable.
POST AUDITS
2002-381
Agreement No. 08A0796
Attachment I
Page 4 of 5
Post audits of contracts are performed routinely after project completion. Post audits are
performed to determine whether the costs claimed are allowable, allocable, reasonable, and in
compliance with the Federal and State laws and regulations as well as the fiscal provisions
stipulated in the contract. The examination includes reviews of applicable laws and regulations,
the contract requirements and the contractor's internal controls systems. Audit tests of the
contractor's accounting records and other auditing procedures considered necessary will also be
performed. Applications of all audit procedures would also be governed by the individual contract
under audit. Unsupported or unallowable costs are normally the result of weaknesses in the
accounting system and will be reimbursed to DEPARTMENT.
To provide contractors with a procedure for obtaining prompt and equitable resolution to a dispute
arising from a post-audit of a non-highway construction cost reimbursement contract,
DEPARTMENT has established an Audit Review Committee (ARC). Information explaining the
ARC should be found in your contract and/or as an attachment to the post-audit report.

Federal regulations, please see the following:

J. PROJECT DESCRIPTIO:":
. PROJECT PL'RPOSE:
When Ihe Santa Fe Railroad administrative and support operations personnel vacated the
depot and adjacent railroad maintenance yard facilities in 1989. due to corporate mergers and
a pervasive economic decline in the railroad induSlTY, the depOt srruclurally began to
derenorate.
Unfortunately, the depanure of Ihe railroad initialed Ihe stan of a progressive economic
decline to the adjacent neighboring community. Today, the depol IS silualed in one of the
most blighted areas of San Bernardino.
The Sanla Fe DepOt Area Plan will include Ihe developmenl of a land use plan and multi-
modal transit master plan to guide fulure development, provlde Iransporralion enhancement
alltrT'.anves, and ",ill expand upon the existing Sanla Fe DepOt Adaplive Reuse Study.
The primary focus of Ihe previous reuse sludy was to ascertain Ihe mosl economically COSt-
effective rehabilitation allernatives for the structUre, and to develop and evaluate potential
alternatives for the depot complex as an intermodal surface rransporration facility_
In 1993, the City "'as awarded a Transporralion Enhancement ACllvity (TEA) Grant by the
Federal Htghway Administrallon 10 fund Ihe depol rehabilitalion and adaprive reuse study.
The study was endorsed by Ihe mayor and city council, the San Bernardino Associated
GOvernmenrs (SA:\BAG), and numerous cirizen and business "stakeholder" groups. The
intent of the study was ro develop and evaluate several reuse alternarives for the depot
cump!e.\., and to expand upon the depor's currenr sole function as a railroad station for
/vIllrak passenger service. ",ilh adjacent Merroiink service.
Built in 1918 by the Santa Fe Railroad, rhe depot is one of the largest facilllies In southern
California at 55,000 square feet. The depot is hiSlorically and stn.lclurally significant, and is
located wilhin an Arc:a of POlemial Effect (APE). The depor was delerrnined by Calrrans
District 8 personnel and Stale hisrorians 10 be of structural historic significance The
geographical boundaries of the APE are locared within Ihe boundaries of the proposed area
plan
. . ~OJECT JUSTIFICATION:
In the coming decade, Ihe proposed Sama Fe Depor Area Plan will function as a rool to
guide, coordinare and facilirare the combined efforrs of numerous pubhc and privare
shareholder organizarions who are involved wirh various aspecrs of Ihe site and adJacem
neighborhood comr:1unities. The Plan will adtlress these specific issues rhrough community
interaction at <ill lcv~ls of paniClpJlion. The Plan wlll inrcgrare wilh exisring community

economically disadvantaged by providing an alternative to the high cost of automotive fuel
md i ':.:>>'Jt'"d.I1Ge_
La[]d-Use Efficiency: The Plan will focus on high-density transit oriented development to
rduce urban sprawl through "in-fill" redevelopment.
Community Livability T.~e Plan will alter the spatial landscapes surrounding the depot to
reduce automobile dependency and to encourage walking and bicycling activities to nearby
adjacent communities.
Road Safety Enhancements: Transit oriented development will reduce the poteruial for
accidents by reducing veh:cular densities on high volume cransit corridors during peak hour
commute periods.
He2lrb Savings: The reduction in air pollution emissions reduces the risk of breathing
related ailmems (lung cancer, asthma, emphysema, etc.).
Compliance with Federal Tran!pofUtion Demand Management (lDM) Stutegies: The
plan will comply with the following programs: Commuter Trip ReduCtion Plan; public cransit
improvemems, non-motorized cransit improvemenrs., Universal design standards for public
