Cole County moves to issue RFP for employee compensation/classification study
Summary
The commission directed staff to publish a request for proposals (RFP) for a compensation and classification study, seeking vendors to propose salary grids and implementation plans; departments and elected officials were invited to comment before the RFP is posted.
Cole County commissioners agreed to issue a request for proposals for a countywide employee compensation and classification study and related deliverables, including salary grids and recommendations for job‑descriptions and implementation plans.
Staff said the RFP will remain open for 30 days and that proposals should include whether the vendor will develop job descriptions and a compensation grid or work from county‑supplied job descriptions. Commissioners asked that department heads and elected officials review the draft RFP and provide input before it is posted; staff said they would email the draft and aim to publish the RFP by the following Thursday if no substantive edits are requested.
A commissioner emphasized interest primarily in a uniform job classification grid rather than immediate salary adjustments. Staff said they will collect proposals, present results and then convene a review group to evaluate vendor plans, including a proposed schedule to bring the county from its current pay practices to any recommended market position.
No final vendor selection was made at the April 29 meeting; the commission authorized staff to release the RFP and asked for comments from department heads by the beginning of the next week.
