7-ATTACHMENT B- Form of Proposal.docx

This is a form of proposal attachment for the Housing Authority of the City of Alameda (AHA) in California, which is soliciting proposals from qualified Human Resources firms to provide compensation study services. The RFP seeks firms with experience in compensation studies with benchmark classifications for individual positions, total compensation reviews including benefits packages and leave accruals, and specialty or differential pay analysis. All deliverables must be marked "draft confidential," and the compensation report must provide recommendations on range changes for each position, methodology used, benchmarking philosophy, discussion of outliers or insufficient data, Y rates, and range compaction analysis between supervisory positions.

Proposers must submit all proposed fees using the designated form, with pricing entered for each task including project kickoff, data collection and document review, employee and management interviews, classification analysis, compensation study, salary structure recommendation, draft report, final report, and board or executive presentation. All fees must be all-inclusive of related costs such as sales tax, employee wages and benefits, clerical support, overhead, profit, licensing, insurance, materials, supplies, tools, equipment, and other expenses. Proposers may enter "no charge" for one or more pricing items but cannot submit "no proposal" for any item. The pricing table requires hourly rates, estimated hours, and total prices for each task across every year of the proposed contract term, with space for additional services that may fall within the scope.
