Classification and Compensation Study Services

The Cajon Valley Union School District in El Cajon, California is seeking a qualified vendor to conduct a comprehensive classification and compensation study. The agency needs to modernize its personnel structure by updating job descriptions and establishing an equitable salary plan. This initiative aims to align internal job relationships and ensure competitive compensation compared to benchmark districts. The scope of work requires the selected vendor to review and revise existing job descriptions for all classified job classes, including bargaining unit, confidential, supervisory, and management positions. These updated descriptions must clearly identify essential job functions, physical demands, work environments, hazardous conditions, and Americans with Disabilities Act requirements. Additionally, the vendor must develop a salary and classification plan, assign positions to proper families, and recommend salary range placements based on internal relationships and external benchmarks. The agency requires the vendor to facilitate an appeal process for employees and managers between the issuance of the preliminary report and the final recommendations, which includes meeting with appellants as requested. The vendor must also conduct orientation meetings with staff, management, unions, and employee groups to explain the study objectives, procedures, and timelines. The final deliverable must be a written report detailing salary recommendations, employee allocations, and proposals for any new classifications. Eligible bidders must be onshore organizations based in the United States. The agency allows the work to be performed either onsite or offsite, and bidders may submit their proposals digitally via email or through an online portal. The agency has not disclosed a specific budget and is requesting cost proposals from bidders. All questions regarding this procurement must be submitted to the agency no later than July 16, 2026.
