Proposal November 15, 2023 To: Mr. Doug Boldt, City Administrator; City of Tiffin, Iowa Brent Hinson Hinson Consulting, LLC Re: Compensation Study Update Dear Doug: Thanks for reaching out to me for assistance in updating the compensation study I completed in 2019 for the City of Tiffin. I am providing a proposal for your review and comment. I’m happy to revise as necessary to better capture the City’s needs and desired product from this effort. My understanding is that the City would like me to look at updating the previous plan to look at least five years further out. We would accomplish this through surveying of other entities, pulling in relevant market data, and listening to feedback on the City’s perceived needs, vulnerabilities and opportunities. Since I now live significantly further away from Tiffin than when I completed the 2020 study, I propose to join all meetings virtually, rather than making in-person visits as I did last time. Proposed Fees Based on the overall above scope, I would propose to charge a flat fee of $3,500 for the above services. I would intend this to be all-inclusive; if for some reason the scope needs to expand significantly once we get started, I can either provide a revised quote or can charge my standard rate of $80/hour (I bill by the quarter-hour and work hard to Hinson Consulting, LLC [email protected]
