City staff has reviewed the proposal and scope submitted by Public Sector Consultants and recommends Public Sector Consultants as the sole finalist. Staff feels that the City's compensation and classification system would benefit from a fresh view and does not recommend using Evergreen Solutions since they conducted the City's previous study in FY14. Additionally, Public Sector Personnel Consultants provides an expanded range of services over Evergreen Solutions, including providing procedural manuals for maintaining compensation and classification at the conclusion of the study. The not to exceed amount of $60,000 for this agreement is the amount allocated in the FY19 budget in the Administration Professional Services line item.

Action is requested on January 8, 2019 in order to receive information prior to the preparation of the FY20 budget.
