III. COST PROPOSAL Our fee for the services outlined is $17,500 plus not -to -exceed expenses of $4,000. Items typical of a similar search with their associated costs are broken down as follows: Full Search: Position Analysis and Recruitment Profile Interviews $3,000 Recruitment Profile Development 2,500 Outreach Campaign 3,500 Resume Review 3,000 Candidate Screening 4,000 Interview Process 1.500 TOTAL FEE $17,500 Not -to -exceed expenses of $4,000 are for: recruitment profile design and preparation, advertising, reference and background investigation, etc. Because we will be conducting this recruitment from our Minnesota office, expenses should be considerably less than budgeted (approximately $2,000 for the recently completed Shoreview recruitment). Costs for leadership assessments as recommended earlier herein are additional — approximately $1,300 per assessment. The cost for final candidates to travel to interview with the City is not included. Such costs are typically paid by the client on a reimbursement basis directly to the candidates. These costs are difficult to estimate because they depend on where the candidates are located. We will submit regular invoices for fees and expenses. It is our practice to bill one-half after ad placement and one-half upon recruitment completion. Each invoice is due and payable upon receipt for professional services. We will comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations of federal, state and local government entities. We will, to the degree possible, preserve the confidential nature of any information received from you or developed during the work in accordance with our professional standards and Minnesota law. Our recommendations and any written material provided by us will represent our best judgment based on the information available to us. Our liability, if any, will not be greater than the amount paid to us for the services rendered. This proposal constitutes the agreement between us. It cannot be modified except in writing by both parties. Our agreement will be interpreted according to the laws of the State of Minnesota. 7.
