Specifications include, but are not limited to: Compensation Consulting Services. The Maryland General Assembly recently passed legislation, Senate Bill 899, that authorized the Board to set the number of positions within the Investment Division, as well as compensation for these positions. This statute also establishes an Objective Criteria Committee (OCC) to make recommendations to the Board regarding the objective criteria to be used in setting compensation and awarding financial incentives to eligible employees in the Investment Division. The law also requires the Board to hire a consultant to assist the OCC with its charge of recommending objective criteria for setting compensation and awarding financial incentives for eligible Investment Division personnel. While it is unknown at this point how many times the consultant will have to meet with the OCC and Board, please assume three on-site meetings in Baltimore. In addition to working with the OCC, the consultant shall also work with the Chief Investment Officer (CIO) in conducting a comprehensive review of the existing organizational structure and classification system of the Investment Division to assure it meets the organization’s objectives of aligning interests and prudently addressing human capital risk issues. The consultant shall also review the current employee performance evaluation process to ensure an equitable and transparent path of career progression. For this element of the project, please plan for two on-site meetings with the CIO in Baltimore.
