Provision of Examination and Testing for Protective Services on an Annual Contract

Gwinnett County seeks a qualified provider to design, develop, and administer promotional examinations and assessment‑center testing for its protective‑services personnel (corrections, fire, police, sheriff, and jailer). The work is “as‑needed,” with no guaranteed volume, but the County administered 14 promotional exams in 2025 and forecasts moderate‑to‑high candidate numbers for 2026. The contractor must conduct job‑analysis studies, create validated written exams and assessment‑center exercises, proctor and score examinations, handle item‑challenge responses, and supply all necessary resources (proctors, actors, supplies, AI‑disclosure). The County will provide policy guidance after award and expects compliance with merit‑system rules, federal/state regulations, and insurance requirements. • Scope includes job‑analysis, test development, administration, scoring, item‑challenge handling, and reporting for multiple protective‑service positions. • Deliverables: written exams, job‑knowledge tests, assessment‑center exercises, technical validity reports, and final project summary. • Contract: 1‑year term starting 1 January 2027, with four optional one‑year renewals; provider must sign within 10 days of award and maintain extensive insurance coverage.
