It is recommended that the Mayor and City Commission of the City of Miami Beach, Florida, authorize the issuance of Request for Qualifications (RFQ) 2023-010-WG for personnel testing and related services for police and fire positions.

In anticipation of the expiring Agreement, the City is seeking proposals from qualified firms to provide the following services as further articulated in the attached draft RFQ:

1) Develop, validate, administer, score, report, and review testing programs to determine qualified applicants for police and fire entry-level positions and classified promotional classifications.

Following the receipt of proposals, an evaluation committee will review proposals in accordance with the criteria established in the RFQ.
