COST PROPOSAL
CITY OF BARSTOW, CA | JULY 11, 2023
RFP | CLASS AND COMPENSATION STUDY – COST PROPOSAL PAGE 2 Pricing Assumptions:
Wage/salary survey of up to 13 comparison agencies in addition to the City. Survey to be made of ~114 job classifications (based on the number provided in the RFP) will be reviewed, indicating matches identified and analysis of pay comparison data. All meetings and employee interviews are allowed to be virtual (via Zoom/Teams) at the Consultant’s discretion.
Benchmarks will not be 100% of the jobs. It is our experience that this will be approximately 50% of the job classifications.
Two (2) in-person meetings, as determined by both Parties. Administer an employee review and appeal process and provide conclusions to be billed separately based on actual work requirements as a function of appeals filed. The proposed cost would be subject to approval prior to MGT starting appeal work if any is needed.
Other Deliverables Included in Pricing:
Updated job classification descriptions in City-identified format as editable MS Word files that include a Purpose statement, examples of functions/duties/responsibilities, Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities related to each job, the typical qualifying education and experience for the job class, and FLSA classification (Exempt/Non-Exempt).
Initial virtual project kickoff meeting with key stakeholders (typically a steering committee with City, bargaining unit, confidential, and management/supervisory representation) to establish clear roles and expectations, followed by one or more employee engagement presentations to foster greatest participation possible.
Periodic status reports and progress updates during the study and final project closeout report of findings and recommendations including executive overview, details for each job class recommended, wage/salary tables, allocation tables for each employee, and job class descriptions.
