BOARD/COMMISSION REVIEW:
N/A
BACKGROUND:
The City Manager awarded Contract 22-052 to Industrial/Organizational Solutions Inc. (IO Solutions) on January 17, 2022, for a one-year term from February 1, 2022, through January 31, 2023.
The purpose of this contract is to provide new hire testing services for police and fire. IO Solutions is the sole provider for firefighter and police officer entry-level examinations that were selected by the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners more than five years ago to assess qualifications of candidates. They are also uniquely capable of providing recruitment and applicant screening services for the City.
DISCUSSION:
This Change Order is requested to add funds for the new hire police and fire testing services conducted in the first six months of 2024.
The expiration date of the current contract was overlooked as it during the middle of a recruitment cycle, and new hire police and fire testing services have already been provided for the new hire police and fire exams for 2024.
This Change Order is to add funds to cover the cost of the remaining invoices.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The cost of services to conduct assessments for the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners are expensed to the account number listed below. A total of $86,425 was approved as part of the 2024 budget for these services of which $20,737 has been spent. The requested change order is accommodated within the budget.
