Non-Union Compensation Study

The state of Massachusetts is seeking to conduct a comprehensive non-union compensation study for its employees in Suffolk County. The selected vendor will be required to assess current salary ranges, benefits, and competitiveness compared to the local market, and provide detailed analysis and recommendations for adjustments to the state's non-union compensation structure. The study aims to improve the state's understanding of its salaries in relation to the marketplace, recommend methods to achieve job, pay, and market equity, and construct a pay structure and philosophy to align with turnover rates for selected job titles. Proposals are due by January 31, 2017, and the contract term is for 1 year with the option to renew for up to 2 additional 1-year terms. The pricing terms outline an hourly rate structure for the selected vendor, with not-to-exceed amounts for each phase of the project.

The state has set a 20% small business enterprise (SBE) participation goal for this contract. No incumbent vendor information is provided. The compensation study is funded through the state's general operating budget, and the total award value is not specified. Vendors responding to this opportunity must have the necessary expertise and capabilities to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the state's non-union compensation structure and provide actionable recommendations for improvement.
