Both proposals have a salary match component Proposals have flexible options such as management only options, hybrid options, and total take-over References regarding level of service have been checked and are positive in nature
UPDATE – ENERGY PROJECTS One proposal has outlined in detail energy savings measures and how they would fund said upgrades. No upfront money from IWCS, paid out of savings. One has stated that they would provide a study of energy at no charge, but did not commit to the funding mechanism outlined in the RFP.
UPDATE – HUMAN RESOURCES One proposer has a leave plan similar to our current plan. Workers will be retained under both proposals. Both proposers, per instruction in RFP, have proposed industry averages for salary. Both have given options to Board in regards to salary. Both offer several tiers of health coverage. One has made offer to subsidize health coverage with additional salary. Both offered a 401k plan with up to 3.5% match.
POTENTIAL SAVINGS One proposal outlined the following Potential Savings Salaries – 85,000 should Board choose industry average Energy - $300,000.
