Request for Proposals: Human Resources Services

The Connecticut Council of Soil and Water Conservation, through a grant funded by the USDA Natural Resource Conservation Service, is seeking proposals from qualified individual contractors to provide comprehensive human resources services. The Request for Proposals (RFP) solicitation number 22262 seeks a contractor to support the HR needs of a specific grant-funded contract, with a comprehensive scope of services including recruitment and hiring processes, performance management, compensation and benefits administration, compliance, and HR policy development. The selected contractor will work directly with the grant administrator to deliver these services, with an estimated total of 500 hours of human resources consulting work. The RFP is open from April 19, 2024, at 8:00 AM EDT to May 1, 2024, at 5:00 PM EDT, during which time interested contractors may submit their proposals. Potential respondents can direct any questions to Lilian Ruiz at ctcouncilswc@gmail.com. The delivery terms are specified as Free On Board Destination, with payment terms to be determined by the vendor.

The RFP does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond, indicating the opportunity is open to all qualified individual contractors. No information is provided about incumbent vendors or existing infrastructure that would require integration. The solicitation does not disclose a specific estimated total contract value, budget range, or anticipated hourly rate for the services. While the RFP indicates 500 hours of human resources consulting services will be required, it does not provide a total dollar value for the contract. The funding for this project comes from a USDA Natural Resource Conservation Service grant, though the specific grant amount is not detailed in the documentation. Interested contractors will need to develop their own pricing strategy and payment terms when preparing their proposals for submission.
