DESCRIPTION

The Boulder Valley School District (BVSD) is conducting a targeted diagnostic review of its payroll operations, viewing them as a District-wide business process involving Payroll, Human Resources, Benefits, Finance/Accounting, and other stakeholders. The review aims to determine if payroll operations are appropriately structured and staffed, and to identify practical changes to improve overall operations. The scope includes organizational structure, staffing levels, workload distribution, cross-functional roles, and significant ownership issues. The engagement is not a comprehensive system audit or ERP implementation review. The contract duration is not explicitly stated, though the RFP mentions potential options to extend the contract at the District's sole discretion.
