PROJECT APPROACH & TIMELINE CITY OF LITTLE CANADA | MARCH 16, 2026 RFP | CLASSIFICATION AND COMPENSATION STUDY PAGE 12 In instances where more job data is needed to further clarify roles or issues, MGT will conduct targeted interviews as needed at the discretion of the consultant to ensure data validation and clarity (project budget allows for up to 23). These brief interviews clarify role responsibilities and ensure an accurate understanding of job content prior to evaluation. Targeted focus groups may be conducted with incumbents to gather consensus on job data or to determine new classification levels, for example. This step ensures shared understanding of the work being performed and helps resolve discrepancies early in the process. 2.2 Job Data Review MGT will review the collected data and conduct job analyses to confirm each job’s duties, qualifications, scope and responsibilities, level of authority, specializations, work environment, and physical requirements, and to identify any proposed adjustments relative to job title updates or reclassifications, consolidations, leveling, or FLSA exemption status changes. MGT will discuss the job analysis findings with the City’s Project Officer and document any adjustments. This review will also identify opportunities to standardize titles, clarify reporting relationships, and support long-term maintenance of the City’s classification system. Deliverables • Completed Job Analysis Questionnaires • Job data review and analysis TASK 3.0: MARKET DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS Activities 3.1 Establish Markets and Comparables Custom Market Survey. Working with the City, MGT will determine a logical and defensible survey sample of comparable agencies that influence the City’s compensation market. In selecting appropriate organizations, we consider multiple factors, including similar organizational structure, population served, number of employees, budget size, Equalized Assessed Valuation (EAV), and geographic proximity. MGT will benchmark a total of 23 jobs against 15 – 20 comparable agencies to assess competitiveness. 3.2 Administer Market Surveys and Conduct Benchmark Comparisons Custom Market Survey. MGT will prepare a tailored market survey that either MGT or the client will distribute to the identified comparable agencies. The survey will include job titles and summary descriptions to ensure valid data collection, along with a request for copies of job descriptions for verification. MGT will provide survey status updates and conduct online research and outreach to non-responsive organizations as needed to maximize participation. The City may be asked to send the survey directly or conduct targeted outreach to increase response rates. After the survey closes, MGT will analyze the results to ensure comparability.
