' <br />~~eacli of the.contract by the other party. <br />The Scope of Services to be provided by your firm, described in Exhibit B of the contract, <br />included conducting an aggressive candidate search; interviewing the most qualified candidates, <br />. conducting thorough reference checks, and the preparation of a report on the three to five most <br />,~ ~ qualified candidates. This work was to be completed by October 15th. Your firm had agreed to <br />~ initiate an extensive outreach effort to identify and contact potential candidates. It appears that <br />this work has not been done to date. In addition, while your firm has forwarded four resumes to <br />our office, there is no evidence that any of the background interviews and review have been <br />conducted by your office, nor were written reports on these candidates prepared or provided to <br />the City. As you are aware, timely accomplishment of these tasks is critical to the City. <br />Given the lack of performance of services by your firm, we feel that it is necessary to terminate <br />this contract immediately. Please provide the City with documentation related to th~-that <br />your fiim has done to date and associated expenses. We will review this material and the billing <br />that you recently submitted to determine fair compensation for services provicied to date. <br />Please contact me with questions or concerns regarding this contract. <br />Siri~erely, ,, <br />, I ~ , <br />'Jn~ /i ~L~ <br />~'~., <br />' ~ ~~X/~~}' IJ~L / ~,'~._ ' ; ~ 1 <br />~eslie Brown <br />Human Resources Manager <br />cc: Melissa Pearson, HRRS <br />Carol Case, ASD Purchasing <br />
