requirements of this Agreement, the Consultant will correct or modify its
performance to comply with the Agreement. The City may withhold payment for

Consultant an equitable share of the fixed fee. This provision shall not prevent the
City from seeking any legal remedies it may have for the violation or nonperformance
of any of the provisions of this Agreement and such charges due to the City shall be
deducted from the final payment due the Consultant. No payment shall be made by
the City for any expenses incurred or work done following the effective date of

RCW 18.43.070. Consultant further represents and warrants that all final work product

restrict the City from using the work product. Consultant grants to the City a non-
exclusive, perpetual right and license to use, reproduce, distribute, adapt, modify, and

adaptation, modification or use of the final work products other than for the purposes of

Consultant shall retain the right to designate the means of performing the Work
covered by this agreement, and the Consultant shall be entitled to employ other

alone, and that employing such workers, it is acting individually and not as an agent
for the City.

income tax or Social Security or contributing to the State Industrial Insurance
Program, or otherwise assuming the duties of an employer with respect to Consultant
or any employee of the Consultant.

Consultant agrees to notify the City and complete any required form if the Consultant
retired under a State of Washington retirement system and agrees to indemnify any
losses the City may sustain through the Consultant’s failure to do so.

the City, elected officials, employees, officers, representatives, and volunteers from any
and all claims, demands, actions, suits, causes of action, arbitrations, mediations,
proceedings, judgments, awards, injuries, damages, liabilities, taxes, losses, fines, fees,
penalties, expenses, attorney’s or attorneys’ fees, costs, and/or litigation expenses to or
by any and all persons or entities, arising from, resulting from, or related to the negligent
acts, errors or omissions of the Consultant in its performance of this Agreement or a
breach of this Agreement by Consultant, except for that portion of the claims caused by
the City’s sole negligence.
Should a court of competent jurisdiction determine that this agreement is subject to RCW
4.24.115, (Validity of agreement to indemnify against liability for negligence relative to
construction, alteration, improvement, etc., of structure or improvement attached to real
estate…) then, in the event of liability for damages arising out of bodily injury to persons
or damages to property caused by or resulting from the concurrent negligence of the
PAGE 5 OF 10
Consultant and the City, its officers, officials, employees and volunteers, Consultant’s
liability shall be only to the extent of Consultant’s negligence.
It is further specifically and expressly understood that the indemnification provided in
this Agreement constitute Consultant’s waiver of immunity under the Industrial
Insurance Act, RCW Title 51, solely for the purposes of this indemnification. The Parties
have mutually negotiated and agreed to this waiver. The provisions of this section shall
survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement.
11.Gifts and Conflicts: The City’s Code of Ethics and Washington State law prohibit City
employees from soliciting, accepting, or receiving any gift, gratuity or favor from any
person, firm or corporation involved in a contract or transaction. To ensure compliance
with the City’s Code of Ethics and state law, the Consultant shall not give a gift of any kind
to City employees or officials. Consultant also confirms that Consultant does not have a
business interest or a close family relationship with any City officer or employee who was,
is, or will be involved in selecting the Consultant, negotiating or administering this
Agreement, or evaluating the Consultant’s performance of the Work.

License prior to performing any Work and maintain the business license in good standing

E.Consultant shall name the City as an Additional Insured on its commercial general
liability policy on a non-contributory primary basis. The City’s insurance policies shall
not be a source for payment of any Consultant liability, nor shall the maintenance of
any insurance required by this Agreement be construed to limit the liability of
Consultant to the coverage provided by such insurance or otherwise limit the City’s
recourse to any remedy available at law or in equity.
F.Subject to the City’s review and acceptance, a certificate of insurance showing the
proper endorsements, shall be delivered to the City before performing the Work.

The Honorable Ellen Bradley-Mak, Human Resources and Risk Management Administrator
EBradley-Mak@Rentonwa.gov
Renton City Hall
1055 S. Grady Way
Renton, WA 98057
Dear Ms. Bradley-Mak:
Colin Baenziger & Associates (CB&A) appreciates the opportunity to submit a proposal to assist
in screening candidates for your next Public Works Administrator. While selecting key personnel
is never easy, CB&A has developed a problem-free process that has been tested nationwide and
found to be extremely effective.
While CB&A is a municipal recruiting firm which has conducted assignments across the country,
we have focused our efforts in Florida, Virginia and Washington. We pride ourselves on providing
not just high-quality results, but, equally important, providing a great deal of personal attention to
each of our local government clients. To conduct a proper recruitment, we feel the project manager
must do more than just drop by occasionally. He/she must get to know the appropriate government
officials and the community firsthand. That effort takes time, but it is the only way to ensure the
candidates we recommend are well qualified and a good fit for your community. As a result, we
only take a few clients at a time and focus on getting the job done properly. Further, we routinely
complete our work in sixty to ninety days. This timeframe includes preparation of recruitment and
advertising materials, candidate outreach, candidate screening, finalist interviewing, and
Administrator selection. We also offer one of the best warranties in the industry.
Not only do we offer unparalleled service at a reasonable price, we focus on finding just the right
people for your organization. We say people, and not person, because our goal is to bring you
finalists who are so good that you will have a difficult time choosing among them. The proof is
in the fact that five of our local government clients have passed resolutions thanking us for our
outstanding efforts in finding their key staff. We do not know how often you have passed a
resolution thanking a consulting firm for its efforts, but we have rarely seen it happen. Our goal,
in fact, would be for you to be our next client to pass such a resolution.
DAYTONA BEACH SHORES, FL REDMOND, WA
Some of our searches include Executive Directors / General Managers for the Sewerage and Water
Board of New Orleans, Florida Keys Aqueduct Authority, Des Moines Water Works and the
Orlando Utilities Commission. We have also recruited Public Works Directors for Aventura, FL,
Chandler, AZ, Sammamish, WA and Tamarac, FL, and we have recruited Assistant Public Works
Directors for Sumter County, FL and Sunny Isles Beach, FL.
Some of our current searches include City Managers for Crescent City, FL, and Panama C ity
Beach, FL, a City Attorney for Lawton, OK, a Finance Director for Gainesville, FL, an Executive
Director for the Emerald Coast Utilities Authority (Pensacola, FL), and a General Manager for the
Des Moines (IA) Water Works
Those authorized to bind the company are myself, Colin Baenziger, and Lynelle Klein, Vice
President for Operations.
We look forward to formally presenting our credentials and working with you in the near future.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at (561) 707-3537.
Sincerely,
Colin Baenziger
Principal / Owner
… Serving Our Clients with a Personal Touch
I. Qualifications and Experience of the Firm
- 3 -
The Firm, Its Philosophy, & Its Experience
Colin Baenziger & Associates (CB&A) is a nationally recognized executive recruiting firm
established in 1997 and owned and operated by Colin Baenziger. We are a sole proprietorship
headquartered in Volusia County, FL with offices in Redmond, WA. As a sole proprietorship, we
are not registered with any states as a corporation, foreign or otherwise.
Colin Baenziger & Associates’ outstanding reputation is derived from our commitment to the
quality of our product and the timeliness of the delivery. Our work is not done until you are
satisfied. That means we go the extra mile and, at times, expend more effort and energy than
originally anticipated in our fee or in our action plan. When we do so, we do not ask for more than
the originally quoted price. Rather, we accept these situations as part of our cost of doing business.
We are your experts and once a contract is signed we have an obligation to fulfill its requirements
with excellence, on time, and within budget, regardless of the circumstances.
Since beginning our search practice in 1998, we have conducted searches and other related work
for clients in thirty-two states. Overall our staff has performed over 170 City, County, and Special
District Manager searches and approximately 300 local government searches. The basic approach
outlined herein has been refined over the years to the point where it is problem-free.
Technical Capabilities and Organizational Structure
Colin Baenziger & Associates has developed its business model over the past 22 years. The model
has proven to be extremely effective in wherever we have applied it. In fact, we are often called when
a government has a particularly difficult position to fill or where one of our competitors has failed.
Overall, we utilize approximately eighteen people.
Most staff members are independent contractors and are given assignments on a task order basis.
Consequently, we can pay well while having a great deal of flexibility without the overhead of many
firms.
Completion of Projects within Budget
Colin Baenziger & Associates is proud of its record of completing searches within budget. Once we
quote a price to the client, that price is what the client will pay, no matter how difficult the search is
or what unforeseen circumstances may develop. We have never requested anything beyond the
originally quoted price, even when we were probably entitled to do so.
Completion of Projects on Schedule
Colin Baenziger & Associates routinely completes its assignments in sixty to ninety days. Further,
since CB&A began performing recruitments, it has never missed a project milestone.
I. Qualifications and Experience of the Firm (continued)
- 4 -
Diversity
CB&A has extensive contacts with individuals and organizations representing women and minorities.
We are thus able to identify and bring a diverse group of finalists to the City. The proof is that from
the beginning of 2009, 29% of our placements have been females and/or minorities with the high in
any given year being 47%.
Prior Names and Litigation
Colin Baenziger & Associates has always operated under its current name and has never been
involved in any litigation, except to testify as an expert witness on behalf of one of the parties. Our
performance has never been questioned nor have we or any of our clients been involved in any
legal action as a result of our work.
Insurance
To protect our clients, Colin Baenziger & Associates maintains the following insurance coverages:
(1) general liability insurance of $1 million combined single limit per occurrence for bodily injury,
personal injury, and property damages, (2) automobile liability insurance of $1 million per accident,
and (3) professional liability insurance of $1 million per occurrence. As a small firm, predominantly
utilizing independent contractors, we are not typically subject to the requirements for workers
compensation and employer liability insurance. If required by the client, and if it is available to us,
we will obtain these two coverages prior to contract execution.
I. Qualifications and Experience of the Firm (continued)
- 5 -
Overall Executive Search Experience
CB&A started its executive search business in 1998 from scratch. As a single father, he needed to
stay nearby and so his goal was to become Florida’s preeminent recruiter. In 2007 with his children
mature, he branched out into other states. His firm has now worked in 32 states, from Maine to
California and Florida to Alaska. See the map below.
A complete list of our searches is listed in Appendix A.
We have served clients in the states highlighed in blue.

II. Methodology
- 7 -
The following outlines briefly the approach Colin Baenziger & Associates utilizes doing an
executive search for a Public Works Administrator.
Phase I: Information Gathering and Needs Assessment
Task One: Needs Assessment
An important part of the recruiter’s work is selling the community to the very best candidates
(including those that are not actively looking for the next job) while also providing an accurate
portrayal of the community and the opportunity. In order to do this, CB&A must first determine
the needs of the client and the characteristics of the ideal candidate. Our approach is as follows:
• Compile background information from the jurisdiction’s website and other sources.
• Interview the city manager and key staff. Our goal is to develop a strong sense of your
community, its leadership, its short and long term expectations, and its challenges;
• Determine the characteristics of the ideal candidate. These will likely include experience,
longevity, education, personality, demeanor, and achievements as well as other items the
city manager and key staff consider important), and
• Determine a reasonable compensation package.
We will also finalize the timeline so candidates can mark their calendars well in advance and will
be available for the interviews.
If the City wishes, we can also incorporate meetings with other stakeholders (such as the business
community, the non-profit community, City staff and so on) to gather their insights in developing
the recruiting materials. We can also solicit the input of your residents through an on-line survey.
These forums and surveys are valuable as they provide additional perspectives and a better
understanding of the environment and the wants/needs of the community that the Director will be
working in. An example of an online survey is included as Appendix D.
Task Two: Develop Recruitment Materials
Based on the information we gather, CB&A will next prepare a comprehensive recruitment profile.
We will provide our draft for your review and comment. Your suggestions will be incorporated,
and the final documents prepared. A sample of our work is included as Appendix B. Other samples
can be found on our firm’s website under the “Executive Recruitments” / “Active Recruitments”
tabs.
Phase II: Recruitment
Task Three: Recruit Candidates
CB&A uses a number of approaches to identify the right people for this position. We say people,
and not person, because our goal is to bring you six to ten excellent semi -finalists, all of whom
will do the job extraordinarily well and who are so good you will have a difficult time choosing
among them. You then select the top three to five people to interview and ultimately choose the
candidate who is the best fit with you and your community. The approaches we use are:
II. Methodology (continued)
- 8 -
• Networking: The best approach is diligent outreach. We will network with our colleagues
and consult our data base. As we identify outstanding candidates (many of whom are not
in the market), we will approach them and request that they apply. Often excellent
candidates are reluctant to respond to advertisements because doing so may alienate their
current employers. When we approach them, their credentials are enhanced rather than
diminished.
• Advertising. While we will seek out the best, we will not ignore the trade press which
sometimes yields strong candidates. We intend to contact the members of appropriate
professional organizations such as the American Public Works Association, Association of
Washington Cities and so on. We will also post it on our website, www.cb-asso.com and
at other appropriate sites. We generally do not use newspapers or generic websites because
while they produce large numbers of applications, they generally do not produce the type
of candidates we seek. If the City wants to have ads placed in local newspapers, national
newspapers and/or generic websites, it will need to bear the cost.
• Email: We will also e-mail the recruitment profile to our listserv of over thirteen thousand
managers and professionals who are interested in local government management. One of
the advantages of e-mail is that if the recipient is not interested, he/she can easily forward
the recruitment profile to someone else who may be interested.
• The Private Sector: Some of our clients ask that private sector candidates be included
among our suggested finalists. While we do not routinely recommend candidates with no
experience in government, we have been very successful in finding highly qualified and
capable private sector people to bring forward.
Phase III: Screening and Finalist Selection
Based on our most recent recruiting efforts, we anticipate receiving resumes from forty to one
hundred applicants. We will narrow the field as described above and present information on
candidates to the City. This process requires a mixture of in-depth research and subjective
evaluation. Our process is as follows.
It should be noted that selecting strong candidates is more an art than a science. While we consider
standard ranking factors and the elements of the job, ultimately the most important factor is who
we believe will be a good fit with the City and the community. Typically forty percent of our
finalists are women and/or minorities.
Specifically, our efforts will involve:
Step One. Resume Review. CB&A will evaluate all resumes and identify the top eight to
twelve candidates. Some of these may be in-house candidates or individuals who have held
high-level positions in other governments but who have never been the Public works
administrator.
Often these people simply need the opportunity. Using a football analogy, Vince Lombardi
was an assistant coach with the New York Giants prior to being hired by the Green Bay
Packers. Hence, we do not believe we should only consider those who have already held
the position we are recruiting for.
II. Methodology (continued)
- 9 -
Step Two. Screening Interview. Our lead recruiter, and possibly other senior
representatives of the firm, will interview each of these candidates. Using what we learned
in Phase I and our experience as managers and recruiters, as well as our unique ability to
assess candidates, we will determine whether or not to consider them further.
Step Three. Candidate Materials and Background Investigations. For those that
remain in consideration, CB&A will:
• Ask the Candidates to Prepare a Written Introduction: We will ask the
candidates to prepare a written introduction to themselves. This is done for several
reasons. First, it allows the candidates to tell their own story and balance the
negativity that is so often characteristic of the press. It also allows the City to
evaluate the candidates written and communicative skills.
• Candidate Disclosure Statement: We will ask candidates if there is anything
controversial in their background that we should be made aware of prior to further
consideration. While it is unlikely that we find anything not previously publicized
in the press, we believe redundant checks offer superior security for our client.
• Interviews of References: We tell the candidate with whom we wish to speak.
These include current and former Board/Commission/Council Members, the
municipal attorney, the external auditor, staff members, peers, news media
representatives, the director of the local chamber of commerce, community
activists, and others who know the candidate. We also attempt to contact some
individuals who are not on the candidate’s list. Typically we reach eight to ten
people and prepare a written summary of each conversation.
• Legal Checks: Through our third party vendor, American DataBank, we will
conduct the following checks: criminal records at the county, state and national
level; civil records for any litigation at the county and federal level; and bankruptcy
and credit.
• Search the Internet and Newspaper Archives: Virtually every local newspaper
has an archive that provides stories about perspective candidates, the issues they
have dealt with, how they resolved them and the results. These articles can also
provide valuable insights into the candidate’s relationship with the public and the
elected officials. Of course, not all news sources are unbiased and we consider that
in our evaluation. This step is conducted in order to quickly discover candidates
with problems in their backgrounds and eliminate them.
• Verification of Education: We also verify claimed educational degrees to assure
the candidate is being totally forthright.
• Verification of Work History: We verify employment for the past fifteen years.
II. Methodology (continued)
- 10 -
Note: We firmly believe that all background work we have outlined above should
be completed early in the process. That way the client knows the individuals to be
interviewed are all top performers and do not have anything embarrassing in their
pasts that might come to light after selection. It also means that once our client has
made a selection, it can move forward promptly, negotiate a contract and make an
announcement.
Task Five: Preparation and Presentation of Candidate Materials
For the selected candidates, CB&A will compile the information we have developed into a
complete written report for each recommended candidate. Specifically, this information will
include: the candidates’ resumes, introductions, references, background checks and internet /
newspaper archive search results. A complete sample candidate report is included as Appendix
C. We will also provide some advice on interviewing, a series of questions the City may wish to
ask (as well as some areas that it is not wise to get into), and some logistical in formation. The
preceding information will be forwarded to you electronically.
The goal in conducting these checks is to develop a clear picture of the candidates and to determine
which best meet the criteria established in Phase I. Each of the avenues we pursue adds a piece of
the puzzle. We will crosscheck sources, search for discrepancies, and resolve them when we find
them. When sensitive or potentially embarrassing items are discovered, they are thoroughly
researched. If we conclude the situation is damaging or even questionable, the situation reported
to the City and, with the City’s concurrence, the candidate will be dropped from further
consideration.
Task Six: Finalist Selection
Approximately a week after the City has received the candidate materials, CB&A will meet with
the City to discuss our findings and make a final determination concerning who will be invited to
interview. The goal is to select four to six candidates to interview.
We will then notify the selected finalists of their status and schedule the interviews.
Task Seven: Notify All Candidates of Their Status
We will notify the selected candidates by telephone and give them the opportunity to ask additional
questions. CB&A will also contact those not selected to advise them of their status. Part of the
notification will include advice concerning the candidates’ resume and/or cover letter so, even
though they were not selected to go forward, they will have gained something valuable from
participating in the process.
II. Methodology (continued)
- 11 -
Continuing Assistance
Our work is not done when the contract is executed. We will stay in touch with you and your new
Director. Our goal is to be there to assist in resolving any issues that arise before they become
intractable. In fact, at your request, we will conduct a team-building workshop, at no charge, to
resolve any difficulties. We simply feel it is part of our job to assure a successful relationship.
Communications: We will provide weekly reports about the status of the search, in writing or by
phone, depending upon your preference. At significant milestones we will make the reports in
person. We are also available at any time, day or night, to address any questions you have along
the way. To do so, we will provide you with our cellphone numbers and you should feel
comfortable contacting us whenever you have a question whether it is directly related to the search
or, for that matter, anything else related to local government. We want to be responsive and to
assist in any way we can.
The City’s Obligations
The City will be responsible for providing the facilities for the interview process, coordinating
lodging for candidates from outside the area, and making arrangements for the evening reception.
The City will also be responsible for reimbursing the candidates for all expenses associated with
their travel, meals and incidentals for the interview weekend.

III. Fee and Warranty
- 13 -
Price
CB&A will offer a firm, fixed fee of $26,500 which includes all our expenses and costs. In other
words, the only thing the City will pay CB&A is the agreed upon fee. The only other costs the
City will be responsible for are the costs associated with the candidates’ travel, accommodations
and meals for the interview process. The advantage to the City is it knows exactly what it will pay.
The advantage to CB&A is that we do not have keep track of every minor expense.
We will bill the fee as the phases are completed and according to the following schedule:
Requested Services
Phase I: Needs Analysis / Information Gathering $ 3,000
Phase II: Recruiting 11,000
Phase III: Screening 10,000
Phase IV: Interview Process Coordination and Selection 1,500
Phase V: Negotiation and Continuing Assistance 1,000
Firm, Fixed Fee Total* $26,500
If the City asks us to perform work that is clearly beyond the scope of this proposal, it will be billed
at a rate of $150 per hour. No such work will be performed without your written authorization.
Please note that we have never billed – nor requested – additional funds beyond our originally
quoted fee even when we have been entitled to it.
Guarantees
Colin Baenziger & Associates offers one of the best warranties in the industry. We can offer it
because we have confidence in our work. Provided the City instructs us with conducting a full
search (Phases I-V) and assuming it selects from among the candidates we recommend, we warrant
the following:
1) We will not approach the selected candidate for any other position as long as the
individual is employed by the City.
2) If the selected individual leaves for any reason other than an Act of God (such as tot al
incapacitation or death) within the first year, CB&A will repeat the search for the
reimbursement of our expenses only.
3) If you are not satisfied with the candidates we present, CB&A will repeat the search until
you are satisfied.
4) Our price is guaranteed and will not be exceeded for any reason, even if conditions
