25020 Fire Classification and Compensation Study

The Unified Government of Athens-Clarke County (ACCGov) in the state of Georgia is seeking proposals for a comprehensive classification and compensation review of all fire-certified positions on the Fire Step Plan for the Human Resources Department. The selected consultant will be required to review the current pay structure, job descriptions, and conduct a market analysis to provide recommended pay table updates and a project summary. Key deliverables include analyzing FLSA classifications, conducting job analysis questionnaires, and recommending comparator organizations to include in a custom salary survey. The proposals are due by October 15, 2024, with an expected project completion date of December 1, 2024 and implementation by July 2025. ACCGov will evaluate proposals based on understanding of the project, qualifications and experience, references, quality assurance, project team, and cost/pricing.

The RFP does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. ACCGov may consider an ongoing maintenance agreement with the selected consultant after the initial project is completed. While the RFP does not provide an estimated award value or budget range, it indicates that the County updates its pay plan annually, with step increases tied to employment anniversary dates, suggesting the potential for an ongoing engagement.
