BACKGROUND: The Police Department desires to create a more extensive pre-employment physical ability test for entry level Police Patrol Officers of City. Pursuant to the requirement of the Civil Rights Acts of 1964 and 1991 and the Americans with Disabilities Act, such type of physical fitness test must be scientifically validated as job related prior to use. Validation studies would normally cost between $50,000 and $60,000. The Police Department has obtained a proposal from FPSI to perform the validation test for $12,000 provided FPSI would be allowed to use the information collected in validating the City’s test for purposes of providing a validated physical fitness exam to other jurisdictions. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: The total amount of the Agreement for Professional Services is $12,000. BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: The Pueblo Civil Service Commission approves proceeding with the agreement. STAKEHOLDER PROCESS: Not applicable to this Resolution. ALTERNATIVES: The City Council could issue an RFP for this service or choose not to proceed with a more extensive pre-employment physical ability test for entry level Police Patrol Officers. RECOMMENDATION: Approval of the Resolution. Attachments: Agreement for Professional Services
