Description/Analysis
Issue Detail: On January 23, 2021, the City approved Contract PRC001299 with Gallagher Benefit Services, Inc. to perform a Citywide Classification and Compensation Study. The stated purpose of this study is to update the City’s extensive catalog of classification specifications; to identify changes in City operations and staffing over the last several years which may have affected the type, scope and level of work being performed; and to establish a consistent reporting structure within all departments. Additionally, the City is interested in identifying and eliminating any artificial barriers to employment in its classification specifications that may prevent candidates from successfully applying and qualifying for employment with the City.
In April 2022, the City identified additional work necessary to properly complete the City’s Classification and Compensation Study. In response, the City approved Supplemental Contract PRC001299-1 with Gallagher to increase the not-to-exceed (NTE) amount by $87,000 to a total NTE of $957,000.
An additional $13,000 is still needed to fully complete the study, which takes the additional NTE beyond to 10% threshold permitted without Council approval.
Policy Considerations: Pursuant to section 3.56.290 of the City Code supplemental contracts of at least $250,000, but less than $1,000,000 that exceed 10% of the original contract price must be approved by Council.
Economic Impacts: None.
Environmental Considerations:
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA): This report contains administrative activities that will not have a significant effect on the environment and that do not constitute a “project” as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Sections 15061(b)(3) and 15378(b)(2).
Sustainability: Not applicable.
Commission/Committee Action: Not applicable.
Rationale for Recommendation: Approval of this action will allow the completion of the Citywide Classification and Compensation Study.
Financial Considerations: The estimated total not-to-exceed amount for the entire contract, including all supplemental contracts, of $957,000 will be funded from the Human Resources Department. Funding was previously authorized by Council for this purpose.
Local Business Enterprise (LBE): Not applicable.
