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

The County of Gwinnett, GA is seeking 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 positions). The work is “as‑needed” with no guaranteed volume, but the County administered 14 promotional exams in 2025, and the addendum supplies estimated candidate numbers for each rank. The contractor must conduct job‑analysis studies, create validated written exams and assessment‑center exercises, proctor and score exams, handle item‑challenge responses, supply all required personnel, supplies, and actors, and provide technical reports. All AI‑assisted processes must be disclosed, and the provider must meet extensive insurance and compliance requirements. The contract is a one‑year term starting 1 January 2027 with four optional one‑year renewals. • Scope includes job‑analysis, test development, administration, scoring, item‑challenge handling, and reporting for multiple protective‑service roles. • Provider must supply all resources (proctors, actors, supplies) and disclose any AI usage. • Mandatory insurance coverage includes $2 M CGL, $1 M auto, $1 M professional liability, $1 M umbrella, among others, with A‑M Best A‑10 rating. • Evaluation is split into Phase I (technical – 95 points), Phase II (cost – 20 points), and optional Phase III interview (10 points). • Minimum four references required (one each for Fire, Police, Sheriff, Corrections) and extensive affidavit/ethics documentation.
