to develop examination processes which include validated Assessment Centers. In req4esting .:1
third amendment to the Professional Services Agreement with BRI, the following faets wer3
considered:

development for Police and Fire promotional exams.

classifications,
4) The additional services, while equivalent in scope to those in the original Agreemen~, will bE
provided by BRI for $60,000 (previous low bid was approximately $93,000).
5) The Consultant's recent experience with the United States Department of Justice, r~lating t)
the City of Miami Beach Police Officer and Firefighter permanent hiring processes, '4'ill hnlp

The price quoted for this Agreement with BRI for additional job analyses and devel~pmen /
validation of Assessment Centers for the Sergeant and Lieutenant of Police classification;
($60,000) includes all out-of-pocket and other expenses. !

services for the City of Miami Beach for prior Police promotional examinations. BRI was the to~-
