Dear Mr. Coff:
Pursuant to conversations between Mr. Sohn Perry, your personnel
director, and Mr. Mariam gonlett of our professional staff, I am pleased
to present, on behalf of Public Administration Service, this proposal for
the conduct of a comprehensive review of the City's pay plan and a selec-
tive classification analysis.
As we understand your requirements, the pay review would cover about
630 positions and the classification review would be limited to 50 positions
selected by the City. It is anticipated that city staff would collect pay
data within the framework of a pay survey designed by PAS. It is also our
understanding that the work should commence no later than November, 1973.
As you know, public Administration Service was established by its
governing board to provide technical services to governments and public
institutions on cost basis. Its charges, therefore, represent the coat
of making the necessary staff available for the time required to perform
the contemplated work. Ordinarily, we estimate the maximum coat of a defined
work program and agree to complete It within this estimate as a total and
all-inclusive charge. We then bill for time devoted to the work by members
of our staff at established per Siam rates, for transportation costs incurred,
and for other direct project costs. If possible, we complete the work for
less than our maximum estimate and in no event for a larger amount. Invoices
setting forth these charges are submitted monthly and payable upon submission.
These financial arrangements are
embodied in the enclosed contract which
also reflects your contemplated work program. The return of one copy of the
contract, executed by you or other authorized official of the City, would be
sufficient for our purposes.
With notice of authorization, we would immediately send an ample
supply of questionnaires and instruction forme for your employees. The
time needed for the completion of the questionnaires is beyond the control
of the consultant, but our experience suggests that three to four weeks
represent a reasonable allowance for this phase of the work. Upon the com-
pletion of questionnaires for substantially all positions included within
the scope of work, a work period of approximately six to eight weeks would
than be required to completeall project work.

I have eaclosed several sees of brochures which my serve to
familiarize your colleagues with the programs and resources
of Public
Administration Service. If you wish further information or if we can in
some way be helpful, please feel free to contact us.
We would indeed welcome a renewal of our past links with the City
of Bangor and would indeed consider it a privilege to be permitted to assist
you again in this important wdertaking.
Sincerely yours,
I
