What they are offering is a "ladder" GS 9 to 11 and perhaps beyond. Not bad.
As far as "steps" go, they are generally negotiable. If you are getting a ladder to an 11 in a year I would not make the "step" a deal breaker. Here are the rates:

I agree, It's not the time to be greedy. It pays more than a post doc and I'm pretty sure my SC transfers. OTOH, I think it's a good idea to pose soft inquiries to HR once the paperwork starts rolling. Self advocate.

I'm not sure I am catching that one. For my field they list this general description for the pay scale. I"m currently on the ZP pay scale. Which I understand as more merit base.
