Total Compensation Survey – Grade P1. The City shall, through a public bidding process engage a consultant to perform a survey of total compensation for grade P1 librarians at comparable and/or competitive library systems. The City shall pay no more than twenty thousand dollars ($20,000) for the survey. Should the cost of the survey be more than twenty thousand dollars ($20,000), the additional money shall be paid using funds in the PSA Library Staff Development Fund, and such fund shall be reduced accordingly. Prior to the RFP being published, the City will provide the PSA president with a copy for review. The survey of P1 librarians shall include, but is not limited to a review of compensation, benefits, paid leave entitlements, length of work day and work year, availability of other compensation such as but not limited to stipends for a second Masters degree, and eligibility for overtime. The survey is focused on entry level librarians with MLS degrees without supervisory responsibilities for other librarians. The survey will be completed by September 2009.
