Specifications include, but are not limited to: The City of Tolleson is requesting proposals for consulting services to conduct a citywide, comprehensive employee classification and compensation study. Tolleson is a full service City, with a seven-member City Council operating under the Council/Manager form of government. City departments include City Manager, City Clerk, Finance, Municipal Court, Employee Resources, Fire, Information Technology, Economic Development, Police, Building and Engineering, Human Services, Parks and Recreation, and Field Operations (Street Transportation, Sanitation, Grounds, Vehicles, Facilities Management) and Utilities (Wastewater, Water and Sewer). This study will include approximately 219 employees currently in 27 classifications. All city positions will be included in this study with exception to sworn police and fire positions. Sworn Police and Fire positions were studied in 2019 and data can be aged accordingly. Current organizational charts will be made available upon request. The city has not recognized any bargaining units. Currently, the city has a broad-banded classification and compensation system that using the Decision Band Method (DBTMM) with varying potential merit increases, based on a “quadrant” system. In 2012 the City contracted with Fox Lawson and Associates (now known as Gallagher) to conduct a similar study. To date, the pay structure is broad-banded and includes open ranges for all positions and a merit plan is in place for all employees. Job descriptions were revised, and reclassifications have been evaluated on a case-by-case basis. A major part of this project will include the education and involvement of employees, management, and the City Council in this process. The City is looking for a creative consulting firm that can incorporate public sector needs and design a program specifically for the City of Tolleson that emphasizes our mission, vision, and values. We would like the consultant to become part of the City of Tolleson during this process. Please include in your proposal how you would establish a presence here.
