Summary of Amendment Two to RFI 02-104-26
This is Amendment Two to a Request for Information issued by the State of Alaska, Department of Administration, Division of Personnel, regarding a classification and pay plan modernization project. The amendment provides questions and answers submitted by potential offerors regarding project scope and implementation. The State is seeking vendor input on reasonable and realistic project timelines, with responses due by February 2, 2026, at 2:00 PM Alaska Time. The project encompasses the development of a streamlined classification and pay plan framework for approximately 1,086 job classes currently in the State's system. The scope includes recommendations for consolidating job titles and developing a new classification and pay plan framework but excludes developing or updating individual job descriptions. The State is open to including a Change Management Strategy as part of the project scope based on vendor recommendations.
The State does not have a predetermined project budget and is requesting vendors to provide cost estimates through the subsequent RFP process. The vendor should leverage results from the 2025 Statewide Salary Study rather than conducting a new external market survey. The State currently utilizes the National Compensation Association of State Governments (NCASG), Milliman annual Alaska compensation surveys, and Economic Research Institute (ERI) for compensation data. The existing HRIS system is CGI Advantage. The State does not currently employ a point-factor job evaluation system but uses Classification Factors that can be provided to vendors. All relevant documentation, including the full classification outline, class specifications, and sample job descriptions, is available through the State's Division of Personnel website and Workplace Alaska portal.
