Salary and Compensation Study

The City of College Park in Fulton County, Georgia is seeking proposals for RFP 26-18, a comprehensive Salary and Compensation Study to evaluate the municipality's current pay structures and workforce compensation framework. The study requires a qualified consulting firm with at least five years of public sector salary study experience, with the lead consultant holding credentials such as Certified Compensation Professional (CCP). Key deliverables include data collection, review of existing job descriptions, market analysis of comparable municipalities, and an internal equity assessment to develop recommendations for updated salary ranges and classification adjustments. The evaluation criteria will be weighted across technical approach (25%), experience and references (30%), project timeline and deliverables (15%), cost proposal (20%), and schedule and availability (10%). Important dates include a non-mandatory pre-bid conference on September 19, 2025, at 10:00 am EST, with proposal submissions due by September 26, 2025, at 3:00 pm EST. The contract will be initially awarded for one year with options to renew for four additional one-year periods, with the city intending to select the most responsive and responsible bidder.

While no specific set-aside designations or enterprise restrictions were mentioned in the document, the RFP indicates the city will prioritize comprehensive and strategic proposals that support long-term workforce planning and retention. The study aims to ensure both internal equity and external competitiveness across all job classifications, suggesting a holistic approach to compensation analysis. The RFP does not specify an explicit budget range or award value, nor does it list any incumbent vendors currently performing similar services. The selected consultant will be expected to provide a detailed implementation strategy for recommended salary and classification adjustments, with the ultimate goal of supporting the city's workforce development and retention efforts. The competitive nature of the RFP and the specific qualifications required suggest the city is seeking a highly qualified and experienced consulting firm to conduct this comprehensive compensation study.
