28 CITY MANAGER
29 There were no questions related to the July 7th staff meeting notes.
30 Personnel Decisions Selected to Assist the City in Completing Its
31 Comparable Worth Study
32 Mr. Childs had distributed the proposals for the above study which had
33 been submitted by Personnel Decisions, Inc. and Arthur Young and gave
34 his reasons for accepting the former. He said telephone calls to both
•35 firms had reaffirmed that Decisions Personnel was proposing to provide
36 the service for $1 ,800 while it would cost the City between $4 ,800 and
37 $5,400 to have the Young Company help the City with its study. He
-4-
• 1 explained that one of the reasons Personnel could submit a lower bid was
2 because the staff at that firm who would be doing the work were the same
3 people who had done the original study for St. Anthony for Control Data
4 who had sold the Focus System, including the St. Anthony data, in their
5 computer to Personnel Decisions. The City Manager advised that he
6 perceived either firm would certainly be able to meet the State' s
7 requirements for the study and, although Arthur Young proposed to spend
8 more time on an actual pay plan, he nevertheless recommended the lower
9 bid be accepted.
10 Council Action
11 Motion by Ranallo, seconded by Marks to accept the proposal from
12 Personnel Decisions, Inc. to assist the City in implementing the pay
13 equity study required by State Statutes at a cost not to exceed $2 ,000 .
14 Motion carried unanimously.
15 AGENDA ADDENDUM
16 RCM Associates Selected to Provide Engineering Services on Pedestrian
17 Crossing Signals for Kenzie Terrace
18 Proposals for the above from Rieke Carroll Muller Associates, Inc. and
19 Short-Elliott-Hendrickson, Inc. had been distributed before the meeting.
•20 Mr. Childs observed that RCM' s proposal to design, construct, and
21 provide periodic site observation for a little over $5 , 000 was
22 substantially lower than SEH' s proposal to design and construct the
23 signals for $5 ,000 and to provide administration and construction
24 observation for $3 ,000 . He therefore recommended the lower bid be
25 accepted, indicating he perceived the installation of crossing signals
26 would probably not require the supervision envisioned by SEH.
27 Council Action
28 Motion by Marks, seconded by Ranallo to accept the lower bid from Rieke
29 Carroll Muller Associates, Inc. to provide the necessary engineering
30 services on the pedestrian crossing signals at Kenzie Terrace as per
31 their July 13 , 1987 proposal for $5 , 000 with the costs to be paid from
32 Community Development Block Grant funds allocated for that purpose.
