Response: The National Office is working on an updated Staff Compensation Report. It doesn’t appear that the new version will be ready in time for Sacramento proposal preparation. However, offerors have wide discretion in terms of how total compensation breaks down into salary versus benefits. In this regard, the Department's expectations concerning staff compensation levels focus on the total package of salary plus benefits and are not necessarily concerned with the split between salary and benefits.

Response: See data below.
