About this file

This is a Request for Proposals (RFP) #2077-RFP issued by the City of Rock Hill, South Carolina, seeking qualified companies to conduct a comprehensive Classification and Compensation Study. The project involves reviewing the city's 415 active job classifications over a 4-year period, with no more than 150 classifications reviewed annually, for their approximately 1,000 full-time employees. The initial contract term is 48 months, with an anticipated start date of September 1, 2025, and includes one 12-month renewal option. Proposals are due by July 23, 2025, at 10:00 am, and must be submitted electronically through the city's eProcurement Portal.

The study objectives include attracting and retaining qualified employees, maintaining competitive salaries and benefits, ensuring proper job classification, and resolving pay compression issues. The city will evaluate proposals using a weighted evaluation system with two phases: an initial scoring of project approach (40%), qualifications and experience (20%), pricing (20%), and delivery metrics (10%), followed by interviews focusing on partnership fit (10%). The city has local purchasing provisions that may provide a 3-5% adjustment for local businesses, with a maximum adjustment of $25,000. The selected firm will be required to provide a wage comparison, identify pay compression issues, and recommend changes to the current compensation structure.

Companies shall have no contact related to this project with the City of Rock Hill elected or appointed officials or employees during the solicitation process, other than the contact person specified within this solicitation. Any such contact will subject the Company to immediate disqualification for consideration for this project.

The technical issue must be with the

Portal provider (OpenGov) and affects all participating Suppliers. The City shall verify the technical issue or unavailability of the Portal with OpenGov, the system provider. Technical issues localized to a single supplier will not be considered a cause for an extension.

The City reserves the right to waive any informalities, technical defects, and minor irregularities in proposals received.

2.12. Award Criteria

The award shall be made to a company that submits the highest-scoring proposal, taking into consideration product or service quality, past performance, and compliance with the stated terms, conditions, and specifications. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the City of Rock Hill reserves the right to reject any or all proposals, to accept any proposal submitted, waive any informality, and negotiate with the low Proposer(s) on any changes that the City of Rock Hill considers necessary or desirable for its own interests. The City alone shall make such determination.

(i) The City recognizes that business firms owned and operated by minority persons and women have been historically restricted from full participation in our free enterprise system to a degree disproportionate to other businesses.

4.11. Customer Service

Please remember, although you are a contracted City service, you each represent the City of Rock Hill during all work performed, face-to-face as well as telephone conversations.

The Rock Hill Police Department along with the City of Rock Hill also reserves the right to cancel any contracts, agreements, purchasing or distribution, etc., if they feel the project, purchasing, vehicle(s), and or property(s) may be in jeopardy due to the company's employee(s) having a criminal history which may lead to ethical issues while dealing with City workings or investigative activities.

The business must have been established for not less than one year within York County limits and hold a valid City of Rock Hill

Business License for the entire year before the solicitation date.

Rock Hill, local employment, and any other reasonable factors to ensure that this policy is not being circumvented.

(ii) Businesses located within the Rock Hill municipal limits may be considered for a 5% adjustment factor.
