=ITLE’ RATIFICATION OF EXTENSION AND AMENDMENT
NO. 2 TO AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF
CARLSBAD AND WATSON WYATT & COMPANY
IECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt Resolution No. 98 ratifying the extension and amendment of the agreement
between the City of Carlsbad and Watson Wyatt & Company to expand the scope of work as
previously provided and to be provided in the future.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
Among the City Council’s top priorities for 1997 was the development of a Performance
Management & Compensation Program for management employees. The Council’s intent
was to have a system which:
Rewards high performance
Links pay to performance
0 Is market driven
Is a unique system for managers, separate and distinct from the bargaining units
Gives the City Council control over bottom line costs and flexibility to adjust to
0 Makes good business sense
different economic situations
Watson Wyatt was selected as the qualified consulting firm with specific expertise in
developing and implementing performance-based compensation systems. The initial scope
of work included: overall project planning and management; review of the existing
management compensation and benefits plan; further development of the existing
performance appraisal system; development of a linkage between the pay and performance
systems; development of a communications strategy to introduce the revised systems to
management employees; and implementation planning and training for affected employees.
After completing a comprehensive review of the City’s existing performance appraisal and
compensation systems, the scope of the work was expanded in order to more fully address
the City Council’s objectives and its requests that specific work be conducted by the
consultant. In Amendment No. 1 to the agreement, the City and the Contractor increased the
scope of work in several aspects of the initial agreement listed above and per the City
Council’s request. This included a market survey of both the salary and major benefits of
equivalent management positions in ten other municipalities and the recommendation that,
due to the magnitude of these systems changes, that the training aspect of the initial
agreement be expanded and completed under a separate contract.
It is now further recommended that Council ratify Amendment No. 2 which extends and
amends the agreement between the City of Carlsbad and Watson Wyatt & Company to
expand the scope of work as previously provided and to be provided in the future. This
increased scope of work, as requested by the City Council and the Leadership Team,
c
includes: the completion of the design, development and implementation of an entirely new
Performance Management System; the completion of the design, development and
implementation of an entirely new Compensation System for management employees,
including the development of a market driven salary structure; and additional meetings to
allow for the comprehensive review of the proposed new system by the City Council and the
Leadership Team. Given the magnitude of the changes that were being recommended, the
scope of work was also increased per the Council to provide: more comprehensive planning
for the implementation of the entirely new performance-based compensation system; the
development and implementation of a thorough communication plan to introduce the new
systems to all affected employees; and extensive communication strategies and materials,
which were developed for presentation to the media and for public awareness of the new
program.
In addition to the increased scope of work outlined above, the consultant provided
supplementary professional expertise to the City Council during its extensive and
comprehensive review of the proposed new systems. The scope of this work involved the
thorough analysis of the City of Carlsbad's proposed perfomance-based compensation plan
relative to a plan recently introduced by the County of San Diego.
Additionally, per the original proposal, the consultant charges 5% for administrative
expenses and charges out-of-pocket expenses (travel, express mail, etc.) at cost and the
total expenses for this project are estimated at approximately 10% of professional fees.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The cost of the expanded scope of work as previously provided and outlined herein is
$105,000. Funds have been identified in the FY 1997/98 Human Resources Department
budget to cover this cost.
