Specifications include, but are not limited to: Our goals are: 1) to have competitive salary ranges for the organization; 2) maintain internal and external equity; and 3) to examine total compensation including benefits. This will help us to adequately compete in the market for excellent and dedicated staff. The majority of our staff is made up of professional planners, engineers, and others with advanced education. We draw upon the national market for these employees. A few employee positions are filled locally. The consultant shall take into consideration the relatively high cost of living in Chittenden County as they consider comparable salaries. The CCRPC salary ranges and benefits should be reviewed and compared with relevant state employee positions, municipal positions, salary surveys conducted by regional and national organizations, regionally and nationally publicized salary information, and current and recent open positions in the job market. Specifically, for engineering positions, the Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational Employment Statistics for Civil Engineers (code 172051) for the Burlington, VT Metro area should be included in the analysis.
