Budget estimate

$150,000 – $500,000

The solicitation does not disclose a budget. Executive recruitment contracts typically charge either a retainer plus a placement fee (often 15‑30 % of the hired executive’s first‑year salary) or a fixed‑price annual retainer. Assuming the Council fills 5‑10 senior positions per year with average salaries of $150‑300k, total fees could range from $150k (minimal activity) to $500k+ (higher volume or higher‑salary placements). Therefore, a reasonable estimate for annual earnings is $150,000‑$500,000.
