Depending on the degree of complexity that you want, an assessment and
strategic plan generally takes four to six weeks with at least two to
three weeks being on site. I would budget roughly $36,000 to $40,000
for travel, labor, and reporting. I would insist on a deliverable
strategic plan, with descriptive planning for each step, with supporting
evidence of the recommendations. I would also insist on a breakdown of
what it would cost to hire out various parts of the plan if you do not
have the inhouse resources to get the steps done yourself.
Just a thought.

Subject: Consultation estimate
Dear colleagues:
I am in the process of submitting an application/proposal to secure
funds to hire a certified Records Manager consultant to create a
University-wide records management program for a small, private, liberal
arts university located in the pacific northwest. As one does not
currently exist, I recognize that this process will require: analysis
(including interviews and records surveys); development and planning;
and finally implementation. I would estimate that my institution employs
about 600 people, has a student body of about 2500 (including
undergraduate and graduate) and consists of the College of Liberal Arts,
and three graduate programs.
I would really appreciate any "ball-park" numbers estimating the cost of
each of the individual phases (analysis, development, and
implementation) in order to provide a realistic budget to the
administration.
Thank you.
Best regards,
Mary
