V. TERMINATION. Either party may terminate this Agreement, with or without cause, upon

in performance resulting from acts of God, acts of war or of the public enemy, riots, pandemic, fire, flood,

delayed due to a force majeure event shall not result in liability to the delayed party. Both parties represent

state or national declarations of emergency, or any current social distancing restrictions or personal
CONSULTANT SERVICES AGREEMENT -

the current pandemic.
If any future performance is prevented or delayed by a force majeure event, the party whose
performance is prevented or delayed shall promptly notify the other party of the existence and nature of
the force majeure event causing the prevention or delay in performance. Any excuse from liability shall be
effective only to the extent and duration of the force majeure event causing the prevention or delay in
performance and, provided, that the party prevented or delayed has not caused such event to occur and
continues to use diligent, good faith efforts to avoid the effects of such event and to perform the obligation.
Notwithstanding other provisions of this section, the Consultant shall not be entitled to, and the City
shall not be liable for, the payment of any part of the contract price during a force majeure event, or any
costs, losses, expenses, damages, or delay costs incurred by the Consultant due to a force majeure event.
Performance that is more costly due to a force majeure event is not included within the scope of this Force
Majeure provision.
If a force majeure event occurs, the City may direct the Consultant to restart any work or
performance that may have ceased, to change the work, or to take other action to secure the work or the
project site during the force majeure event. The cost to restart, change, or secure the work or project site
arising from a direction by the City under this clause will be dealt with as a change order, except to the
extent that the loss or damage has been caused or exacerbated by the failure of the Consultant to fulfill its
obligations under this Agreement. Except as expressly contemplated by this section, all other costs will be
borne by the Consultant.

Consultant's negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of this Agreement, except for that portion
of the injuries and damages caused by the City's negligence or willful misconduct.
The City's inspection or acceptance of any of the Consultant's work when completed shall not be
grounds to avoid any of these covenants of indemnification.
Should a court of competent jurisdiction determine that this Agreement is subject to RCW 4.24.115,
then, in the event of liability for damages arising out of bodily injury to persons or damages to property
caused by or resulting from the concurrent negligence of the Consultant and the City, its officers, officials,

SUBJECT: Agreement with The Segal Group, Inc., for a Non -
Represented Salary Survey - Authorize
MOTION: I move to authorize the Mayor to sign a Consultant Services
Agreement with The Segal Group, Inc. for a non -represented employee
salary survey, in an amount not to exceed $120,000, subject to final terms
and conditions acceptable to the Human Resources Director and City
Attorney.
SUMMARY: The City of Kent, Washington ("City") requested proposals for a subject
matter expert with significant experience in conducting classification reviews, salary
surveys and comparative analyses, involving jurisdictions with sizes similar to the
City of Kent, and offering a set of programs and services that overlaps with the
City's in December 2021. The Council unanimously approved HR using a consultant
to assist in the classification and compensation study and RFPs were solicited.
After the RFPs were received and interviews conducted, The Segal Group, Inc. was
selected as the best consulting group to manage this study. The scope of work will
include the following:
1. Develop a mutually agreeable project management plan that clearly describes all
phases of the project with schedules, milestones, responsibilities, constraints,
and deliverables and coordinate with the City's project manager throughout the
project.
2. Prepare and implement a communication program that ensures full
communication to leadership and employees throughout the project and
provides opportunities for meaningful engagement without unduly prolonging
the process.
3. Determine recommended compensation philosophy and present to City staff for
discussion.
4. Determine if changes to existing position descriptions are needed, including
standardized diversity, equity and inclusion language; and if so, provide
suggested changes for the City to update into these descriptions.
5. Prepare a comparative analysis that identifies the City's competitive position in a
comparative labor market, including comparative city employers.
6. Prepare recommendations for compensation to maintain competitiveness,
ensure equity and position the organization for future development.
7. Provide recommendations to address budgetary considerations.
8. Coordinate with the City's project manager throughout the project.
9. Meetings - to include, but not limited to, stakeholder, employee, and Council
meetings.
BUDGET IMPACT: The full cost of this contract will be paid from the Human
Resources Department's existing budget.
SUPPORTS STRATEGIC PLAN GOAL:
Innovative Government - Delivering outstanding customer service, developing leaders, and
fostering innovation.
Sustainable Services - Providing quality services through responsible financial management,
economic growth, and partnerships.
