PASMG PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION SERVICE ISS 1313 EAST SIXTIETH SSg_F'ET - CHICAGO. ILLINOIS • 60639 October 12, 1973 F4. Mr. Merle P. Goff City Manager X11' City Nell Bangor, Maine 06601 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. PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION SERVICE 1313 east SIXTIETH STREET CHICAGO, ILLINOIS 60637 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 o d. 9plkup Q,.�/ p anal "Societe
