Gregory:
In addition to the advice already given, you need to include in you plan the following RIM basics:
1. Implementing a grouping and indexing strategy that allows for efficient browsing of groups of records (keeping in mind #2 below).  Not all users will want just a single, quickly identified, record.
Applying retention to the scanned records.  You will need to group and index them so retention can be applied efficiently (and hopefully automatically or semi-automatically).  Applying retention manually to all your records in electronic form is very time consuming and, thus, costly.
2. Designing (or configuring) and implementing privacy protection for records with personal information.  This may mean some way of isolating these records from FOIA response searches.
3.Identifying long term and permanent records and implementing a migration plan to preserve them.
