We have developed a comprehensive outline of our services and cost estimate to provide a thorough review of the County's classification and compensation system. We are flexible in our work with local governments and are willing to adjust the proposal to meet the County's needs. Springsted Incorporated, as a preferred provider of services for the North Carolina Association of Comity Commissioners (NCACC), is pleased to submit our qualifications to perform classification and compensation services for Lee County. Our firm has assisted numerous jurisdictions and special purpose authorities in North Carolina and across the United States, in addressing a wide variety of human resources issues. We have conducted classification and compensation studies for a number of North Carolina counties and goKernmental agencies and our management consulting services practice provides in -depth study and analysis on a variety of topics. In addition, we have worked closely with numerous local governments in recent months to develop their first or update their existing classification and compensation systems. Over the years, we have built a significant base of knowledge as to how to work with a wide variety of staff to develop and implement a sound system that best meets the community's needs. We understand that Lee County has determined that development of an updated classification and compensation system for al employee groups is necessary. An updated plan will significantly improve morale among employees and enable the most effective use of available funds. The primary purposes of the study are to: • Evaluate competitiveness of the salary, benefits and additional pay compared to external market value • Develop a compensation strategy and salary structure that is fair internally and externally Public Sector Advisors
