Dear Sir:
On November 7, 2013, the Board of Commissioners authorized the Director of Procurement and Materials Management to issue a purchase order and enter into an agreement for Contract 13-RFP-18 Executive Coaching Services for a Three-Year Period with Talent Assessment and Development, LLC, in an amount not to exceed $75,000.00. The contract expires on November 30, 2016.
This contract has no prior change orders.
The scope of work for this contract includes executive coaching and consulting services to conduct validated assessments and feedback sessions for upper-level employees. The services have been beneficial in identifying talent and development plans, but could be enhanced by changing the scope of work to include additional guidance in talent management, succession planning and coaching strategies. The following items would be added to the scope of work:
Planning Meetings: $300.00/hour
Includes planning meetings to discuss various topics such as succession planning, organizational strategies, and development of participants.
Development Plans for Participants: $300.00/hour
Includes the creation of individual development plans based on assessment results and performance feedback.
Selection Assessments: $1,100.00/per candidate
Includes Talent Assessment and Development's interview assessment process to evaluate candidates for high-level positions at the District.
This change order is in compliance with the Illinois Criminal Code since the change is germane to the contract and is in the best interest of the District.
It is hereby recommended that the Board of Commissioners authorize the Director of Procurement and Materials Management to execute an amendment to amend the scope of work and amend the agreement with Talent Assessment and Development, LLC, with no change in total contract amount.
