Revised Total Compensation Proposal- March 21, 2006 Page 9 of 16 WORK PLAN AND METHODOLOGY This section of the proposal identifies the actual work scope. We believe that our detailed explanation of approach and work tasks clearly identifies our approach and comprehensiveness. We have found that, often times, our proposals address a very high level of time commitment; which sometimes results in a higher proposal cost. We believe that our methodology and implementation success rate is attributable to the significantly greater level of contact we have with City management and employees. The time we commit to working with the employees [Project Team meetings, orientation, review process, etc.] results in a significantly greater buy-in throughout the process and very few, if any, formal appeals, at the end of the process. Our clients always provide us feedback that our process was professional, comprehensive, understandable, timely and inclusive. Employees, although not necessarily always happy with our recommendations, have always indicated that we listened to their issues and concerns and were available for discussion, as required. The process will be the same irrespective of which Option is selected. I A. INITIAL DOCUMENTATION REVIEW {MEETING WITH PROJECT TEAM This phase includes identifying the key client project team, contract administrator and reporting relationships. Our team will meet with the client team to create the specific work plan and work schedule; reaffirm the primary objectives, determine deadline dates; discussing comparator agencies and private sector companies, and develop a timetable for conducting the same. Also included will be the gathering of written documentation, including assembling the current class descriptions, organizational charts, MOD's, Personnel Policies and any other relevant documentation. We will also respond to any questions. It is assumed that the City's classifications are up-to-date as they form the basis for all of our analysis work. B. DETERMINE COMPARATOR AGENCIES, BENCHMARK CLASSIFICATIONS & BENEFIT DATAlMEETING WITH PROJECT TEAM During the initial meeting with the Project Team, we will discuss the compensation study factors that need to be agreed upon.
