comprehensive, with possible structure and staffing changes? The intent to be more
comprehensive, with possible structure and staffing changes, if needed.

extent does the City expect the consultant to revise the Personnel Policy? Are these high-
level recommendations that tie to compensation changes, or a comprehensive
rewrite? The personnel policy is reviewed by labor attorney. It was last updated in 2023. No
high level review or recommendations expected. Only verify nothing in policy contradicts
pay grades or classifications recommended.
14. Payroll Processes: What level of review is expected for payroll processes? What system is

any recommendations for change. Possible recommendations for payroll or HR
programs/reports that could be utilized by BS&A that are not currently being used.

Compensation and Classification Study, or should they be proposed and priced separately?
Included but these items are not intended to be in depth or complex.
16. Is there any interest in separating out the two studies, or is the City truly only interested in
having the staffing/workforce analysis work done as part of the larger Class and Comp
study. We respectfully appreciate your professional opinion. We are going the move forward
with our current issued RFP at this time.
