Classification and Compensation Study Service

The City of Groveland, Florida, is seeking a qualified consultant to conduct a comprehensive, implementation-oriented classification and compensation study. The agency needs to evaluate its current personnel classification titles, job descriptions, and position documentation to ensure all roles are properly classified based on the actual work performed. This review will cover full-time, part-time, seasonal, exempt, non-exempt, public safety, professional, administrative, technical, maintenance, utilities, parks, police, and fire classifications. The project scope requires analyzing essential functions, minimum qualifications, education, experience, certifications, supervisory responsibility, complexity, and working conditions for each position. The agency requires the selected consultant to evaluate external market competitiveness using a defensible survey methodology with approved comparator agencies, while also ensuring internal equity among classifications. The consultant must identify salary compression, recruitment difficulties, supervisory relationship issues, and public safety pay practices to develop a revised classification and compensation structure with salary grades, ranges, and placement methodology. Bidders must be onshore organizations based in the United States to be eligible for this opportunity. The scope of work involves both onsite and offsite performance over a contract period of one year. The agency is accepting digital proposal submissions via email or online, and has not disclosed a specific budget, signaling that it is looking for competitive proposals. Clarifying questions must be submitted to the agency no later than June 23, 2026.
