City of McCall, Idaho
City Manager
A complete description of the services to be provided is contained in a proposal
from Peckham & McKenney, Inc. to the City of McCall dated June 6, 2017 which is
incorporated herein by reference.
The all-inclusive fee for the recruitment of the City Manager is $25,000. One-third of
this fee is due as a retainer upon execution of this agreement. The remainder of the
fee will be divided and billed in two separate, monthly invoices. Full payment of the
fee is due three months from execution of the agreement or when a candidate has
accepted an offer of employment, whichever comes first. The all-inclusive fee
includes three meetings with the City of McCall: the first to develop the Candidate
Profile, the second to recommend finalists (to be conducted by Skype), and the third
to facilitate finalist interviews. Additional meetings will be negotiated and billed
accordingly.
The all-inclusive fee includes expenses, and thus serves as a not -to -exceed amount.
Peckham and McKenney expenses include out-of-pocket costs associated with
advertising, printing, consultant travel, clerical, background checks, telephone,
supplies and postage. Candidate expenses to attend finalist interviews with the City
of McCall are not included in this not -to -exceed figure and are to be reimbursed by
the City directly to the candidate.
Peckham & McKenney will work closely and communicate regularly with the City.
Both parties will exhibit a full faith effort to ensure a timely and successful search.
Should the City of McCall choose to cancel or postpone the search at any time after
execution of this agreement, the City will be responsible for payment in the amount of
the percentage of the work complete as it applies to the search process.
Should the employee recommended and placed by our firm leave for any reason
within the first year of employment (excluding position elimination), we agree to
provide another search process at no additional charge, except direct expenses.
