The firm shall demonstrate proven expertise in providing HR services and understanding of labor and employment laws. The firm will support and strengthen the Authority’s workforce management and organizational development goals, assist with, recruitment, retention, and employee engagement efforts, and provide flexible on-demand human resource and talent acquisition expertise. This RFP does not require the Authority to contract with any firm. The Authority, in its sole discretion, has the right to make no, some, or unlimited requests for services and does not guarantee in any way the amount of services that will be requested of the firm. The selected firm (s) will provide the services to the Authority in response to the issuance of one or more task orders. As the need arises for HR advisory and operational support services, the MCCA will draft a task order describing the scope of work required. One or more of the selected firms will be asked to provide a proposed approach to the required work, along with a proposed budget to perform the work at the rates the firms quoted in response to this RFP. The MCCA will then determine whether to issue a task order to the consultant to perform the work.
