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

Gwinnett County 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). The contractor will conduct job‑analysis studies, create validated written exams and assessment‑center exercises, proctor and score the examinations, handle item‑challenge responses, and deliver comprehensive technical reports. All necessary resources—including proctors, actors, supplies, and any AI‑assisted tools—must be supplied by the contractor, with full disclosure of AI usage. The contract is a one‑year term beginning 1 January 2027, with four optional one‑year renewals, and the County will evaluate proposals on methodology, qualifications, compliance, references, and cost. • Scope includes job‑analysis, test design, administration, scoring, item‑challenge handling, and reporting for multiple protective‑service roles. • Estimated workload based on 2025 volume (14 exams) and addendum candidate counts (e.g., 202 fire driver‑engineer candidates, 124 sheriff deputy corporals). • Contractor must meet extensive insurance requirements and provide non‑collusion and ethics affidavits; performance guarantees are required.
