Contract value

$300,000

No contract value is disclosed. Similar compensation‑consulting engagements for a county of ~800 employees typically range between $150,000 and $500,000, depending on scope depth and consulting firm size. Considering the extensive deliverables (full JESAP review, compensation and benefits analysis, implementation support, and presentation) and the need for a qualified specialist, a mid‑range estimate of roughly $300,000 is reasonable. This accounts for professional‑service rates (~$150–$250 per hour) over an estimated 1,200–2,000 consulting hours plus overhead.
