Have they considered Pythian? They are a DBA mercenary shop. We love them. Very few places need a DBA all the time. You get smart DBA people when you need them and don't pay when you don't needs them.
How dynamic is the environment? Do they have a back-log of DBA work but would other wise need little DBA "touch"? Many of the environments I manage don't need a DBA full time. And they have on-call options and all that. They treat us well here.
