WHEREAS the Human Resources Committee approved the establishment and implementation of a

through the next 10 years; and

Request for Proposal (RFP) for a consultant to evaluate the current point factor job evaluation plan; and
WHEREAS it is proposed that the selected vendor would recommend an update to the current point

WHEREAS it will be important to review all non-represented classifications in the point factor job
