6-HR Services Cost Proposal Template.xlsx

This is a Human Resources Services Cost Proposal Template prepared for the Housing Authority of the City of Alameda (AHA) in California. The template is designed to capture pricing for compensation study services, with line items for Project Kickoff, Data Collection & Document Review, Employee & Management Interviews, Classification Analysis, Compensation Study, Salary Structure Recommendation, Draft Report, Final Report, and Board or Executive Presentation. Each task includes columns for Estimated # of Hours, Hourly Rate, and Total Price. The template also includes a section for Optional Services with the same pricing structure. The RFP seeks qualified Human Resources firms to provide comprehensive compensation analysis services, including benchmark classification studies for individual positions, total compensation reviews incorporating benefits packages and leave accruals, and specialty/differential pay analysis. All deliverables must be marked "draft confidential," and the final compensation report must include recommendations on salary range changes by position, detailed methodology and benchmarking philosophy, discussion of outliers and data sufficiency issues, Y rates, and range compaction analysis.

The cost proposal template allows respondents to propose pricing on an hourly basis, with flexibility to include optional services beyond the core deliverables. The specific pricing terms, contract award timeline, contract term, and renewal options are not detailed in this template document. Funding sources, budget caps, and other financial requirements would be specified in the full RFP documentation. Qualified firms responding to this opportunity should be experienced in conducting compensation studies with market benchmarking and capable of delivering professional reports suitable for executive and board-level review.
