I might go so far as to create a new account for the consultant. Inform the consultant to only use the new account when they need to perform the work on the two servers. A new account will allow you to audit their work and also watch for "creep". Also, do not give the elevated account e-mail or anything like so that there is no way those servers can pick up anything like a virus or spyware.
