Body
Dear Sir:
Request for Proposal documents have been prepared for a consultant to perform a compensation and benefits study at the request of the Human Resources Department.
The District is seeking a consultant to conduct a compensation study focusing on the 1,200 employees in its non-represented technical, administrative and managerial job classifications. The goal of this study is to determine if the District’s total compensation plan (i.e. salary and benefits) remains competitive in the marketplace. The District seeks to ensure that it can successfully compete with both private and public sector employers in the recruitment and retention of capable employees in these job classifications. Comparisons to private sector employers will focus on local and regional employers of a similar size (between 1,000 - 2,000 employees). The study will also make comparisons to local and regional public sector employers and comparable water/wastewater agencies nationwide. The contract for these services will expire December 31, 2020.
The estimated cost for this contract is $125,000.00.
No bid deposit is required for this request for proposal.
The Diversity Section reviewed the request for proposal and concluded that Appendix A should be included in this contract. The Affirmative Action Goals will be 10% Minority Business Enterprises (MBE) and/or Women Business Enterprises (WBE) and 10% Small Business Enterprises (SBE). Appendix V will not be included.
