Jamie said " I'm interested in suggestions/recommendations for selecting
and hiring such a consultant; the length of time such a consultant would
need; and what kind of staffing (half-time, full-time, professional or
para-professional) is necessary to maintain the program."

Jamie, the New York State Archives offers a publication "Records
Management Consultants" (Publication # 44) you might find useful. It's
focussed on helping local governments in New York State, but most of the
recommendations are general enough they can applied to your
circumstances. The URL is
http://www.archives.nysed.gov/a/records/mr_pub44.pdf.

I have a "Request For Information" which I wrote earlier this year, and
which I can send you if you are interested (contact me directly rather
than through the listserv). While it's not a procurement document, it
can serve as the basis for one.

Also, once you get a handle on the scope of work, your university's
procurement staff should be able to help you format it to meet the
institutional requirements.

Best of luck.
