Dear Ms. Mendoza:
As a result of an audit by the Office of the Auditor General, a deficiency was noted concerning the use of federal pass-through funds administered by the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT).
Per the requirements of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-133 - Audits of States, Local Governments, and Non-Profit Organizations, the pass through entity (IDOT) must notify subrecipients (local agencies) of the single audit requirements and provide information on the federal program being utilized.
If your agency expends $500,000 or more per year in federal financial assistance, you are required to have an audit performed in accordance with the OMB Circular A-133. The audit shall be submitted to the IDOT Audit Coordination Section, 2300 South Dirksen Parkway, Springfield IL, 62764, within 30 days after completion of the audit, but no later than nine months after the end of your local fiscal year. If your agency expends less than $500,000 per year, you may be exempt from compliance. All Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) funded projects administered through our Bureau of Local Roads and Streets have a Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) number of 20.205 (Highway Planning and Construction).
All open projects with your agency are listed on the attachment to this letter. Open projects are defined as having an obligation open with the Illinois Comptroller. Therefore some projects listed may have work completed and have been fully reimbursed jbut not closed out with IDOT.
If you have questions concerning OMB Circular A-133 requirements, please contact Lori Beeler at (217)-558-5075.
Sincerely,
James K. Klein, P.E., S.E. j 0^ ^
