Classification and Compensation Study

The City of Liberty Hill has issued a Request for Proposals (RFP #S2025-014) for a comprehensive Classification and Compensation Study targeting approximately 80 employees across various city departments. The solicitation seeks a qualified consultant to develop and implement an employee classification and compensation system with multiple key objectives, including reviewing and updating job descriptions, assessing optimal staffing levels, refining performance evaluation processes, and creating classification and merit systems for a five-year horizon. Specific project deliverables will involve benchmarking against similar municipalities, conducting a training needs assessment, and providing recommendations for organizational improvements. The evaluation will utilize a best-value approach, allocating 100 possible points across several criteria: experience and qualifications (30 points), proposed program (15 points), cost (25 points), data/transaction information (15 points), and interview performance (15 points). Proposals are due on October 29, 2025, at 5:00 PM CST, with submission requirements including one original and three copies of the proposal, plus a flash drive containing electronic copies.

The RFP does not explicitly specify set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent types, nor does it provide details about incumbent vendors or existing technological infrastructure that might require integration. While a specific budget range is not disclosed, the comprehensive nature of the study suggests a significant investment in organizational development and human resources optimization. The city reserves the right to negotiate with the most responsive respondent and modify evaluation criteria as needed to serve its best interests. The study will involve extensive stakeholder engagement, including interviews, surveys, and data collection, indicating a collaborative approach to developing the classification and compensation system. Potential respondents should be prepared to work closely with organizational leadership and Human Resources to achieve the project's strategic objectives.
