Responses to Pre-Proposal Questions:
1. What are the total number of titles and positions included in this Compensation Study? This is to be determined
with the recommendations of the contract recipient.
2. Will all 4,688 employees be included in the study? No.
3. How many classifications represent the employees included in the study? Positions are found on our website.
There are many groups of positions that would not require all to be reviewed. A representative position can be
selected. For example, there are 3 levels for our trades positions. It will not be necessary to review all levels
individually. https://sbo.nn.k12.va.us/hr/compensation/
4. Will this study include teachers? Are teachers included in this number (4,688) and if so, how many of them are
teachers? Teachers are not included as part of this study. The study does not include 4,688 employees. This
information was listed in the background to provide Offerors general information about NNPS.
5. Does NNPS have a proposed timeline for completing this study. We would like to have the results in time to
incorporate into the FY26 budget which is approved by School Board in March. We are out for 1 week in
November and 2 weeks in December. This is a very aggressive timeline. Ideally, all recommendations would be
provided before we close in December. This allows us to work through the recommendations when we return and
be ready for budget proposals.
6. Insurance requirements are capped at $5 million for Umbrella/Excess Liability and we currently have insurance
that is capped at $2 million aggregate. Do you know if just this particular requirement in the RFP could be waived
as we would love the opportunity to submit a bid response? Please list the insurance as a deviation/exception in
your proposal. If your company is shortlisted, NNPS will revisit during the negotiation stage.
7. How many unique job titles will be included in the scope of the study? Answered previously.
8. Does NNPS currently subscribe to any compensation surveys that the awarded consultant would incorporate into
the analysis? If so, which surveys? No
9. Does NNPS have accurate and up to date job descriptions? Does NNPS wish for the consultant to conduct an
employee questionnaire to gather job specific information? This is not planned. However, if it is helpful to
determine proper placement we are not opposed. Please provide pricing accordingly.
10. Does NNPS expect that meetings and presentations will be held virtually or in-person? To Be Determined
depending on the audience.
11. Given the aggressive timeline of final results by January 2025, how quickly does NNPS anticipate being able to
start the project? A quick start will be imperative to meeting the desired January 2025 deadline. Our intent is
tentatively award on or before October 31, 2024.
12. In review of RFP 004-0-2025/SNB for Newport News Public Schools, could you confirm the total number of
unique positions/titles to be reviewed for this study? Answered previously.
