V. Fee and Warranty <br />Fee <br />CB&A offers a firm, fixed price of $34,500, which includes all the expenses we will incur in the <br />search. The only other expenses the County will incur are those associated with bringing the <br />finalists (and spouses, if invited) to interview with the County (travel, meals, hotel etc.). Bills will <br />be rendered as the search progresses and due at the end of each Phase as indicated below: <br />Requested Services <br />Phase I: Needs Analysis / Information Gathering <br />$ 4,000 <br />Phase II: Recruiting <br />14,000 <br />Phase III: Screening <br />14,000 <br />Phase IV: Interview Process Coordination and Selection <br />1,500 <br />Phase V: Negotiation and Warranty <br />1,000 <br />Firm, Fixed Fee Total* <br />$34,500 <br />If the County asks us to perform work that is clearly beyond the scope of this proposal, it will be <br />billed at a rate of $150 per hour. No such work will be performed without your written <br />authorization. Please note, as previously stated, that we have never billed nor requested additional <br />funds beyond our originally quoted fee — even when circumstances suggested we were entitled to <br />them and where the work we performed extended beyond the scope of our assignment. <br />Warranty <br />Colin Baenziger & Associates offers one of the best warranties in the industry. We can offer it <br />because we have confidence in our work. Provided we conduct the full search (Phases I-V), <br />follows our recommendations, and selects from among the candidates we recommend, we warrant <br />the following: <br />1) We will not approach the selected candidate for any other position as long as the <br />individual is employed by the County. <br />2) If the selected individual leaves for any reason other than an Act of God (such as total <br />incapacitation or death) within the first year, CB&A will repeat the search for the <br />reimbursement of our expenses only. <br />3) If you are not satisfied with the candidates we present, CB&A will repeat the search until <br />you are satisfied. <br />4) Our price is guaranteed and will not be exceeded for any reason, even if conditions <br />change after the contract is executed. <br />-21- <br />
