City of Roseville, Minnesota. Proposal to Provide Executive Search Consulting Services to Select a City Manager 6 III. Total Proposal Cost Springsted’s professional fee to provide the services in items 1-9 above is $14,000. This is a not- to-exceed fee and will not change unless additional services are requested by the City or you request an opportunity to discuss the fee and its individual components. Out of pocket costs for this project include such things as position advertising (estimated $1,000 to $1,500) and background records checks ($400 each). We work with the City to determine when to conduct the background checks; this decision will impact the total not to exceed out of pocket costs. Typical searches include only one background check and that is for the candidate that is receiving a job offer. The individual out of pocket costs vary per search and our intent is to keep them to a minimum. For example, we will not charge any mileage or transportation related fees from our offices to the City. If one background check is used the total out of pocket costs is estimated to be less than $2,000 and the total project cost will be less than $16,000. IV. Firm Experience and Qualifications Springsted is one of the largest and most established independent public sector advisory firms in the United States. For more than 50 years, we have continually grown in the range of our client relationships, the comprehensiveness of our services and our prominence within the industry. Our managed growth is focused on providing municipal governments with a balance of national perspective and local expertise. Springsted is a women-owned business and is certified as a Women’s Business Enterprise (“WBE”) by the City of Saint Paul, Minnesota. Three employee-owners lead Springsted and our 60 staff members. Our headquarters are located in Saint Paul, Minnesota, with additional offices located close to our clients throughout the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic states. Specifically, our regional offices include Milwaukee, Wisconsin; Des Moines, Iowa; Kansas City, Missouri; Richmond, Virginia; Denver, Colorado and Los Angeles, California. Executive Search Qualifications In just over 3 1/2 years, Mr. Unmacht has been involved either as the lead search consultant or as a strategic advisor for over 30 executive searches. Mr. Unmacht brings a fresh and energetic perspective to the process. He is knowledgeable about Minnesota local government and more importantly, the City of Roseville and Ramsey County. Mr. Unmacht also served as a City Manager in a Plan B form of government so he fully understands the role and responsibilities of the position. Springsted Support Team In addition to our corporate office in Saint Paul, Springsted has other upper Midwest regional offices in Milwaukee, Wisconsin; Des Moines, Iowa; and Kansas City, Missouri. We will call upon the staff in these offices to assist in recruiting and identifying qualified candidates for the position. Our key staff members in these offices are former local government administrators and managers that are active in the profession, in their region and in assisting in search processes. This “bench strength” will ensure that our recruitment strategy and results are thorough and comprehensive.
