City Manager ~tdJ J3nzta~~J~.'
PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH MIAMI-DADE
COMMUNITY COLLEGE, SCHOOL OF JUSTICE AND SAFETY
ADMINISTRATION ASSESSMENT CENTER FOR ADMINISTRATION OF
ASSESSMENT CENTER TEST INSTRUMENT
SUBJECT:
,.
ADMINISTRATIVE RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Mayor and the City Commission waive the competitive bid process, in
accordance with City Code 31A, Paragraph lOe, and authorize the Mayor and the City Clerk to
execute the five (5) attached Professional Service Agreements with the Miami-Dade Community
College (MDCC) Assessment Center to administer, score, and report results of the Metropolitan
Dade County Composite Interactive Assessment Center instrument to up to two hundred (200) City
of Miami Beach Police Officer/Trainee candidates.
CONTRACT AMOUNT AND FUNDING:
Not to exceed $45,400 total for all five (5) contracts.
Funds are available from the Police Department's Professional Services budget, Account Number
011.1110.000312,
BACKGROUND:
The City of Miami Beach entered into a Consent Decree with the Department of Justice (D01)
covering the hiring of Police Officer/Trainees. The Court provisionally entered the Consent Decree
on July 28, 1992, and filed final entry on June 04, 1993.
In the Consent Decree, all parties recognized the continuing need of the City to hire Police
Officer/Trainees in order to maintain adequate levels of public safety, It has been determined that
additional Police Officer/Trainees need to be hired in the immediate future to insure proper law
534
AGENDAITEM~
'DATE~
BACKGROUND - continued:
enforcement staffmg. Therefore, pursuant to the Consent Decree, the City developed an Interim
Hiring Program, Under the terms of the Consent Decree, an Interim Hiring Program may be
developed and used as a temporary selection procedure until permanent selection procedures are in
place consistent with the Consent Decree. The DOJ and the court previously agreed that the City
may use the Interim Hiring Program for two phases of Interim Hiring. Since the City again needs
to increase its law enforcement staffing, the City sent a third proposal to the DOJ for utilization of
the Interim Hiring Program for a third phase ofInterim Hiring. It is projected that approval will have
been received from the DOJ by June 23, 1995, or soon thereafter.
The results of the first Interim Hiring, using the Assessment Center instrument, were consistent with
the City's desire for diversity. The first administration resulted in the appointment of 5 Hispanic,
5 Black, and 5 non-Hispanic White Police Officerrrrainees and the second administration resulted
in the hiring of 15 Hispanics, 7 Blacks, and 18 Non-Hispanic Whites..
The present public safety staffing needs are urgent, however, the City desires to use an adequate,
appropriate, job-related, and fair method of evaluating the skills of Police Officerrrrainee candidates.
For these reasons, the Interim Hiring Program utilizes the Assessment Center Interactive instrument
which was developed and validated for Metropolitan Dade County entry-level Police Officers. The
process was developed and is administered by trained and experienced staff at the MDCC
Assessment Center, The Assessment Center has provided selection services to Metro-Dade County
since 1983, and has successfully evaluated over 3,400 entry-level Police Officer candidates for that
agency. Metro Dade County has agreed to allow the City to utilize their Interactive Assessment
Center instrument (again saving the City at least $8,000) for the third phase of the Interim Hiring
Program.
To further the efforts to administer a fair and job-related selection procedure, the City currently has
a Professional Services Agreement with MDCC to perform a job analysis and validation of the
Assessment Center instrument for the duties of a City of Miami Beach Police Officer.
ANALYSIS:
In order to meet the Consent Decree requirements as well as the City's time and quality
requirements, the Interim Hiring Program was developed so that candidates are evaluated in a
manner that the City believes to be fair, job-related and expeditious,
A third use of this plan, including the use of Metro Dade County's Interactive Assessment Center
instrument at the MDCC Assessment Center, although not guaranteeing there will be no challenges
to the City's developed Program, is expected to be agreed to by the DOJ,
The Assessment Center process can be administered July 10, through August 30, 1995.
The City Manager may exercise the option of having the MDCC Assessment Center evaluate up to
30 additional candidates for an additional $227/candidate (not to exceed an additional $6,810).
535
ANALYSIS - continued:
To accelerate the Police Officer hiring process, the services are being divided into five (5) separate
Professional Service Agreements. The Agreements are separated as follows:
Agreement I -
Agreement 2 -
Agreement 3 -
Agreement 4 -
Agreement 5 -
CONCLUSION:
Assessor Refresher Training,
Role Player Training and Services,
and Candidate Assessment of 44
candidates - $9,988
Assessor Refresher Training,
Role Player Training and Services,
and Candidate Assessment of 44
candidates - $9,988

Role Player Training and Services,
and Candidate Assessment of35
candidates - $7,945
Assessor Refresher Training,
Role Player Training and Services,
and candidate Assessment for 33
candidates - $7,491
In view of the fact that the MDCC Assessment Center is thoroughly familiar with the classification
of entry-level Police Officerrrrainee, has developed, validated, and administered a valid selection
process for Metro-Dade County for the past 10 years, and has successfully administered the
Assessment Center instrument for the City of Miami Beach for Interim Hiring on two (2) previous
occasions, Commission approval is requested authorizing the Mayor and the City Clerk to execute
these Agreements for Professional Services,
