The Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago (“District”) requests proposals from any

PROPOSALS ARE DUE: OCTOBER 20, 2023

Sealed proposals, endorsed as above, will be submitted to the District via an electronic upload to the Bonfire

for this purpose.

The District is seeking a consultant to conduct a compensation study focusing on the 1,200 employees in its

non-represented technical, administrative and managerial job classifications. The goal of this study is to

determine if the District total compensation plan (i.e. salary and benefits) remains competitive in the

marketplace. A complete description of the required services is provided in the proposal document, Section II,

Scope of Work. It is anticipated that the contract will be issued in December 2023 with work beginning in

January 2024. The contract for these services will expire December 31, 2024. The Cost Estimate for this

Contract is $160,000.00. No bid deposit is required for this request for proposal.

The Affirmative Action Goals for this Request for Proposal are 10% Minority Business Enterprises (MBE)

and/or Women Business Enterprises (WBE).

Copies of the Request for Proposal are only available online from the District’s website at www.mwrd.org

(DOING BUSINESS → PROCUREMENT & MATERIALS MANAGEMENT → CONTRACT

ANNOUNCEMENTS). No fee is required for the Request for Proposal documents. Any questions regarding

the downloading of Request for Proposal documents should be directed to contractdesk@mwrd.org or call (312)

751-6643.

Further, the District assumes no liability or responsibility for the failure or inability of any Proposer to

successfully download any and all contract documents, including but not limited to specifications, proposal

forms and/or plans, as a result of any type of technological computer and/or software system failure or

breakdown that restricts, prohibits or prevents successful downloading of any and all District contract

documents by the Proposer, whether caused by the District or other parties, directly or indirectly.

Proposers are to include with their proposal signed copies of any addenda, or acknowledge receipt of any

addenda, if the District issued any addenda to this contract. Failure to do so may be cause for the rejection of

any bid. Bidding documents are available only online, and any addenda issued for this contract will be available

online at the District’s website, www.mwrd.org (Doing Business → Procurement and Materials Management →

Contract Announcements). Addenda will also be emailed/faxed to each person receiving a set of such contract

documents and to such other prospective Proposers as shall have requested that they be furnished with a copy of

the addenda.

If any potential Proposer contemplating to submit a proposal is in doubt as to the true meaning of any part of the

specifications or other contract documents, such inquiry should be submitted online at the District’s website,

www.mwrd.org. The path is as follows: Doing Business→Procurement and Materials Management→Contract

Announcements. The District will provide an online response to such inquiries, as the District deems

appropriate. Strings of appropriate questions and answers regarding the bidding documents will be available

online on the District’s website until the bid opening date of the documents. No questions will be accepted by

telephone, fax, email, mail, or any other such form of delivery.

The District will only respond to questions received online up to ONE WEEK prior to the date set to receive

proposals. The District will not respond to questions received after this date. The District does not guarantee the

timeliness of responses provided online, nor does the District guarantee that such responses will be provided in

adequate time to affect the submission of bids. The District shall provide responses online ONLY if the

responses do not interpret or otherwise change the bidding documents.

The District’s responses online are NOT official responses and, therefore, are not binding to the bidding

documents. Any official interpretation or change to the bidding documents will be made only by addenda duly

issued to all plan holders on record by the Director of Procurement and Materials Management.

The contact person for the request for proposal is James E. Fisher, Human Resources Manager. This contact

person will provide online responses to online inquiries.

The District reserves the right to accept any Request for Proposal or any part thereof or to reject any and all

Request for Proposals.
