Title:
title
Approval of and authorization to execute a Professional Services Agreement between Industrial/Organizational Solutions Master Consulting Agreement and the City of Broken Arrow to provide Promotional Examinations for the Fire Department
End
Background:
The Fire Department routinely has vacancies due to attrition that must be filled through a promotional process. A standard and thorough selection process is necessary to identify competent candidates for the Fire Chief's selection. This year we anticipate retirements that would require additional promotional testing processes within the Fire Department.
To address the need for promotional testing, the Fire Department is requesting to renew the annual contract with Industrial Organizational Solutions (IO Solutions).Promotional Processes may include the ranks of Fire Lieutenant, Fire Captain, Major, Chief Officer, Training Officer, Investigator, and Fire Marshal.
A copy of the proposed contract is attached. Because the cost of the testing process is directly related to the number of candidates and whether the process involves an assessment center, the exact cost for any given exam cannot be known at this time.
The projected costs for any particular exam, will vary based upon the number of candidates, but are generally not expected to exceed $25,000.00.
Cost: Estimated up to $25,000
