For both units, PFM will assist the City with analysis of economic and labor market data and surveys of other employers. For arbitration, PFM will deliver a professional report and expert testimony regarding compensation and related economic findings and analysis, and may provide research and general support for City witnesses as directed. Specific areas of research may include, but are not limited to, the following: Both Units: • Summary of total compensation package and key elements; • Internal comparison of bargaining unit wage trends to other City employees; • Comparison of wage trends to change in consumer prices and other indexes; • Comparison of bargaining unit benefits to trends in cost containment across the general labor market, as well as public employers nationally and regionally, • Analysis of economic factors impacting recent settlements, and projected to affect future settlements, in the general labor market and among public employers specifically; • Opportunity wage analysis of current compensation levels in the general labor market for workers with similar qualifications and experience; • Evaluation of recruitment and retention experience. Corrections Officers: Analysis of comparative wage and benefit levels among groupings of comparison employers to be identified, potentially including larger PA counties and/or major cities nationally with prison systems; • Evaluation of the compensation relationship (current and trends) between Corrections Officers and other employees of the comparison employers; • Review of any significant differences in duties across the comparison group (e.g., prisoner transport). Deputy Sheriffs: • Analysis of comparative wage and benefit levels among groupings of comparison employers to be identified, potentially including larger FA counties and/or major cities nationally with related functions; • Evaluation of the compensation relationship (current and trends) between Deputy Sheriffs and other employees of the comparison employers; • Review of any significant differences in duties across the comparison group (e.g., court security, writ service, prisoner transport, policing); • Survey comparisons for key work practices as identified by the City (e.g. transfer policies). PFM will also assist the City with the development and review of testimony by other (non -PFM) witnesses as requested, and will help to evaluate the testimony of union experts regarding compensation and economic issues, including development and delivery of rebuttal testimony as warranted. Other analytical support will be provided as requested. Estimated Fees: For all services, we assume close cooperation with City staff, drawing on existing documents and contacts as available to minimize cost. Hourly rates under our existing contract with the City are $275 for Managing Directors; $225 for Senior Managing Consultants; $205 for Consultants; $125 for Associates; and $90 for Research Assistants, plus reimbursement of actual expenses. Given our current understanding of the likely need for negotiation and arbitration support, we estimate the following cost for the above services: Corrections Officers: $35,000 Deputy Sheriffs: $40,000 Total: $75,000 EXHIBIT S.A.
