CITY OF ATLANTIC BEACH
CITY COMMISSIONER MEETING
~ STAFF REPORT
AGENDA ITEM: Approve the selection of Springsted Incorporated to conduct a City
Classification & Pay Study update and authorize the City Manager to
sign appropriate documents.
SUBMITTED BY: George Foster, Human Resource Manager
DATE: April 19, 2005
BACKGROUND: On October 1, 2001 the City implemented the recommendations of a
Classification and Pay Study with an intent to update the data every 3
to 5 years.
During union negotiations, the issue of classification and pay has been
one of the major issues discussed; therefore, we are recommending
`r that a classification and pay update be conducted at this time.
Sec 2-336 of the Atlantic Beach Code allows services to be procured
from other governmental contracts. In this case, Jacksonville Beach
has just completed, through the RFP competitive process, entering into
~,~, a contract with Springsted Incorporated for an update to their
Classification and Pay plan.
By utilization of the same consultant as Jacksonville Beach, the cost
for the update will be considerably less at $9,000 plus $1,200 for each
trip to Atlantic Beach. This cost savings is based upon the fact that
Springsted has also started collecting the information for Jacksonville
Beach that would be needed for out'study; therefore, we are able to
save both time and money by piggybacking with the Jacksonville
Beach contract. In the event that trips to Atlantic Beach are in
conjunction with trips scheduled to Jacksonville Beach, we will also
save additional funds, as the consultant will reduce trip expenses
accordingly.
BUDGET: If approved, funding for this action will be included within a midyear
budget modification.
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Commission approve the selection of Springsted
Incorporated to conduct a City Classification & Pay Study update at a
cost of $9,000 plus $1,200 for each trip to Atlantic Beach and
authorize the City Manager to enter into and sign appropriate
documents. NOTE: The cost for the October 2001 study was
$15,175.
