The contractor must conduct extensive research, including interviews with agency heads and human resources staff, and address 14 broad recommendations from a 2016 Classification and Compensation System Study Project. Proposals were due online by January 24-25, 2023, at 11:00 AM ET, with questions accepted until December 29, 2022, at 5:00 PM ET.

The contract is expected to run from March 2, 2023, to March 1, 2028, with the state preferring work completion by December 31, 2023. No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises were explicitly mentioned in the solicitation documents. The proposal requires detailed line-item accounting, including hourly costs for all staff, total consulting fees, staffing plans with key personnel resumes, and evidence of relevant past project experience. The current employee roster shows 33,404 full-time employees across 392 job classifications, providing a comprehensive baseline for the compensation plan. While no incumbent vendor is identified, the solicitation builds upon a previous 2016 Classification and Compensation System Study Project. The existing compensation system allows recruitment and retention bonuses up to $3,000 annually for most employees and up to $10,000 annually for critical positions. Although no specific budget range was provided, the complexity of the project covering nearly 36,000 employees across 71 agencies suggests a significant investment in consulting services. The contractor will be required to provide education sessions to ensure DSHR and agency HR staff can effectively implement the proposed changes.
