The District is soliciting Proposals from qualified consultants, firms, or companies interested in providing the District with a comprehensive classification and compensation study that ensures the currency of job classifications and descriptions, and the appropriate placement on the District’s salary schedules (“Work” or “Services”). Expertise within a higher education environment is desired, especially within the California community college system. The purpose of this Request for Proposal (“RFP”) is for Vendors to demonstrate their background, qualifications, competence, and capability to perform the Services described in the Scope of Work. Prior to submitting a Proposal, Vendors are responsible for familiarizing themselves with the applicable Services requested. This study has a large scope with an aggressive timeline and is seeking Vendors that are willing to fully engage and drive this study within the agreed timeline. The District anticipates this study will occupy a significant amount of time from the successful respondent and that the respondent will be proactive in establishing bi-monthly communication to meet the targeted deliverable date. Submission of a Proposal shall be deemed conclusive evidence that Vendor is able to provide such Services, and shall constitute a waiver by Vendor of all claims of error in a Proposal, withdrawal of a Proposal, or combination thereof, under the executed Agreement, or any revision thereof. All questions must be submitted through PlanetBids before the Q&A deadline listed. PROPOSAL SUBMISSION: 1) All Proposal responses must be submitted online through PlanetBids.
