The procurement seeks qualified consulting firms with demonstrated expertise in public sector compensation structures to develop a modern, cost-effective, and competitive compensation program for the city's workforce. The project comprises three phases: review of the current classification and compensation system; position and classification review with job evaluation and identification of appropriate wage comparison entities; and development of recommendations including comparative analysis and implementation cost studies. Key deliverables include a comprehensive evaluation of the existing compensation system, job evaluations, wage comparison analyses, and detailed implementation recommendations with associated cost studies. Proposals must not exceed 15 single-sided pages in 11- or 12-point font and must be organized into five tabs: letter of transmittal, executive summary, detailed discussion, cost proposal, and bid form with certificate of insurance.

If required, oral presentations will be held on April 27, 2026, from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m., with selected vendors receiving one hour to present. The city anticipates contract award by May 4, 2026. Evaluation criteria consist of firm experience and qualifications (30%), methodology and resources (30%), cost and fee proposal (20%), references (17%), and introductory letter completeness (3%).
