DESCRIPTION
The City of Fountain Valley seeks a qualified vendor to conduct a comprehensive compensation study and analysis covering all positions and employee groups. The study must evaluate current pay structures and identify anomalies, including compensation compression within job families, while assessing whether salaries are commensurate with assigned duties and whether benefits are comparable to those offered by similar government agencies.
The selected provider will analyze pay differentials between individual classifications, clearly outline compensation growth, and develop cost-effective recommendations supported by rationale. Recommendations should consider the city's existing compensation practices and policies, internal pay relationships, and conditions in the external labor market.
The provider will prepare and submit a final compensation survey report to the city manager. The report must analyze salary and total compensation labor-market data for all job classifications. Questions regarding the opportunity must be submitted by October 15, 2026.
