It is the City of Seattle’s (“City”) goal to provide the maximum practicable opportunity for increased participation by minority- and women-owned and controlled businesses, as long as such businesses are underrepresented, and to ensure that City contracting practices do not support discrimination in employment and services when the City procures public works, goods, and services from the private sector.

The City, through the Seattle Department of Human Resources, seeks proposals from qualified firms to conduct two (2) separate and distinct wage studies, for a combined studies’ total of approximately 680 different job classifications, as defined and identified within the Coalition of City Unions and the City of Seattle Memorandum Of Agreement and The Seattle Public Library and Washington State Council of County and City Employees, AFSCME, AFL-CIO  Collective Bargaining Agreement, following the same methodology and processes as defined within this request for proposals.

The City seeks proposals from firms/organizations with experience conducting comparable wage studies for highly matrixed, unionized, large scale public and/or private organizations.
