20. Employment of State Retirees.
The City is a "DRS-covered employer" which is an organization that employs one or more members of
any retirement system administered by the Washington State Department of Retirement Systems (DRS).
Pursuant to RCW 41.50.139(1) and WAC 415-02-325(1), the City is required to elicit on a written form
if any of the Contractor's employees providing services to the City retired using the 2008 Early
Retirement Factors (ERFs), or if the Contractor is owned by an individual who retired using the 2008
ERFs, and whether the nature of the service and compensation would result in a retirement benefit being
suspended. Failure to make this determination exposes the City to significant liability for pension
overpayments. As a result, before commencing work under this Agreement, Contractor shall determine
whether any of its employees providing services to the City or any of the Contractor's owners retired
using the 2008 ERFs, and shall immediately notify the City and shall promptly complete the form
provided by the City after this notification is made. This notification to DRS could impact the payment
of retirement benefits to employees and owners of Contractor. Contractor shall indemnify, defend, and
hold harmless the City from any and all claims, damages, or other liability, including attorneys' fees and
costs, relating to a claim by DRS of a pension overpayment caused by or resulting from Contractor's
failure to comply with the terms of this provision. This provision shall survive termination of this
Agreement.

otherwise, regarding the subject matter of this Agreement shall be deemed to exist or bind either of the
parties. If there is a conflict between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the attached
exhibits, then the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall prevail over the exhibits. Either party

construed to be a waiver or relinquishment of said covenants, agreements, or options, and the same shall

writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of the City and the Consultant.

A proposal to
THE CITY OF PORT ORCHARD
for the development and management of promotional testing for
SERGEANT
Scope of Services Provided by Public Safety Testing, Inc.:
Public Safety Testing offers to develop and administer assessment center promotional processes for Port
Orchard (hereinafter "City"). Public Safety Testing (hereinafter "PST") will apply the guidelines as adopted by
the International Congress on Assessment Centers and the recommendations provided by the International
Association of Chiefs of Police related to the development and management of assessment centers.
PROMOTIONAL ASSESSMENT CENTER
Methodology for Service
The project shall consist of three basic phases:
1. Test Preparation & Development
2. Test Administration
3. Post -Test Activities
Phase One: Test Preparation & Development
Conduct one on -site or virtual meeting with the appropriate personnel from the Port Orchard Police
Department to:
• Determine the City's specific needs and specific components of the assessment center.
• Create a calendar of tasks, benchmarks, and a schedule to deliver the promotional test.
• Identify the behavioral dimensions to be measured.
• Survey department members currently serving in the positions being tested to identify the critical tasks
being performed (Job Task Analysis).
• Survey the management/leadership team to identify essential supervisory and administrative skills and
abilities of a newly promoted supervisor/manager. These survey results create the unique weighting of
the behavioral dimensions that are specifically relevant to the Port Orchard Police Department.

PORT ORCHARD POLICE DEPARTMENT SERGEANT June 5, 2023
DocuSign Envelope ID: CA496165-EDD5-48F6-8A52-9EEE405FB7C2
• Provide a description of typical categories and examples of exercises that can be used in the
promotional process. Working with the City, exercises are tailored with information provided by the
agency and customized to fit the specific environment and needs of the agency.
• Create a scoring map that identifies weighted behavioral dimensions which will be measured for each
exercise.
• Build exercises using information specific to your community and department and integrating the
results of the surveys used above.
• PST will become familiar with and will follow the City's Personnel/Civil Service Rules when developing
and administering the test. The City shall be responsible for notifying PST of any unusual or special
process or limitation of its rules, contractual agreements or policies that are related to the
development and delivery of the test, and
• Finalize the assessment center's exercises and schedule with the agency's subject matter expert(s) for
Phase Two.

PST will facilitate and manage the assessment center process, including:
Conduct one virtual "Candidate Orientation Workshop" (in -person workshops can be conducted for an
additional charge) that provides candidates an overview of the assessment center testing process,
highlights tips for success, and pitfalls to avoid. This candidate orientation de -mystifies the assessment
center/promotional testing process.
• Conduct a training workshop for the assessors and role players whom the city has selected prior to the
test date. The training shall include guidelines in scoring, pitfalls to avoid in assessing, and a practice
session of scoring an exercise. Only trained assessors will participate in the testing process.

PORT ORCHARD POLICE DEPARTMENT SERGEANT June 5, 2023
DocuSign Envelope ID: CA496165-EDD5-48F6-8A52-9EEE405FB7C2
• Provide all the typical equipment, supplies, and materials for the training, orientation, and testing
process. The City of Port Orchard may be asked to provide specific equipment related to the exercises.
• Create a grading process that conforms to the City's Personnel/Civil Service Commission's rules
• Through an empirical process that incorporates the candidate's performance, the weighted
dimensions, and the City's Personnel/Civil Service Commission's rules, create a final rank order listing
of the candidates tested.
• Survey each candidate about his/her observations of the promotional process and the assessment
center's relevance to the position.
Phase Three: Post -Test Activities
• Each candidate receives written commendations and recommendations that are created by the
assessors. These comments are separated from the objective score sheets, collated for each
candidate, and sent to the city, and are intended to assist the candidates in their professional
development; and
Provide the City with electronic copies of all the documents related to testing, training, and scoring of
candidates. This typically includes the instructions for each exercise, original copies of the score sheets
for each candidate created by the assessors, a matrix of the weighted dimensions as they were applied
to each exercise, a copy of the raw scores for each candidate in each exercise and for each dimension,
the assignment sheet of candidates to letter designators with corresponding photographs, a copy of
the training outline provided to the assessors, a copy of the training outline provided to the
candidates, a copy of the test schedule, a copy of the written comments made by the assessors to
each candidate, the signed test security agreements, and copies of the assessor and candidate
critiques.
• PST shall appear in any City administrative or civil service proceeding to testify to and provide all
necessary information to document the validity of the testing process, to participate in the defense of
the testing process conducted by PST pursuant to this Agreement and to otherwise provide any
information necessary to the City to evaluate challenges to or appeals from the testing process. PST
shall appear without additional charge to the City.
The City agrees that if it uses any materials prepared by the Contractor for purposes other than those
intended by this Contract, it does so at its sole risk and it agrees to hold the Contractor harmless
therefore to the extent such use is agreed to in writing by the Contractor. Preexisting materials owned
by Contractor and used in the materials created for the City shall remain the property of the
Contractor. This includes preexisting examination questions and materials.

provision of services hereunder.
3. These indemnification provisions shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement.
Resources to be provided by the City of Port Orchard:
The City of Port Orchard shall agree to:
• Comply with current guidelines and regulations related to communicable diseases in your location.
Protocols will be mutually agreed to before the test date and communicated to appropriate staff,
candidates, and assessors.
Provide a copy of those sections of your Civil Service Rules and, if applicable, your collective bargaining
agreement, which relate to the promotional testing process.
• Provide a Subject Matter Expert(s) to assist in the development of the exercises, distribute and collect
surveys that provide an analysis of the position being tested for, and distribute and collect a survey
that provides the relative importance of the supervisory dimensions to be measured in the assessment
center. The work of the Subject Matter Expert (SME) will happen on or before the agreed -upon
deadlines. The City's SME will be available on the day of testing as a resource to answer questions.
The role of the SME is very important and critical to the success of this process.
• Obtain a minimum of two (2) qualified assessors per exercise (8 assessors for a 4-event AC) and role
players, if necessary. PST will work with the city to assist in the identification of appropriate assessors;
however, assessors are the agency's responsibility.

PORT ORCHARD POLICE DEPARTMENT SERGEANT June 5, 2023
DocuSign Envelope ID: CA496165-EDD5-48F6-8A52-9EEE405FB7C2
• Have the appropriate supervisory and management personnel participate in the surveys for the job
task analysis and the behavioral dimensions.
• Provide the physical facilities and internet connections appropriate for the Assessor Training, and the
Assessment Center (including the selected exercises) as well as the Candidate Training (virtual or in -
person). Provide meals, refreshments, and beverages for the assessors, candidates, and PST staff.
• At the end of the final day of testing, agencies find it very beneficial to have the department head and
management team present during the discussion with the assessors to hear comments and insights
about the candidates.
• If necessary, cover the expenses of the assessors and pay any travel -related and per diem expenses for
the PST staff.
PROMOTIONAL ASSESSMENT CENTER PROFESSIONAL FEES
The Promotional Assessment Center is our most requested service and testing fees are based on a formula
that uses the relative responsibility of the position as evidenced by the current base monthly salary, the
schedule chosen, the number and type of exercises, and the number of candidates. A full assessment center
can accommodate up to 6 or 8 candidates per day depending on these variables.
A S% discount has been applied for a PST subscribing agency.
(1 day) (2 day)
4 Exercises $7,800
$9,700
Additional Costs: PST's actual costs incurred for travel, meals, lodging, parking, tolls, and other related
expenses are additional. Mileage will be charged at the current federal standard mileage rate per mile. A 4%
surcharge is added to these expenses to cover administrative fees. Washington State sales tax is NOT charged.
Invoicing. PST will invoice the agency within 30 days of work being completed.
Credit Card. A three percent (3%) fee will be added at the time of payment made using a credit card to cover
processing fees.
TERMINATION OF THIS PROJECT
Final versions of test documents and candidate counts requested must be confirmed no later than two
weeks prior to the test date. Without confirmation, test dates may be postponed, and original candidate
counts invoiced. PST and the agency acknowledge that either party may terminate this project at any time
with or without cause. Upon termination, the City shall be liable for the amortized remainder of the
professional fees, if any, from the effective date of the termination notice based on the percentage of
completion of duties listed above. In the event of a lengthy postponement, PST may also submit a partial
invoice based on the percentage of work completed. Also fully reimbursable in this event, are all travel
expenses already incurred, if any. These include mileage, ferry, hotel, meals, parking, and tolls. If a
termination or postponement occurs, both parties will agree on the fees.

ADDITIONAL TESTING COMPONENTS, SERVICES & PROFESSIONAL FEES L
Assessment centers developed by PST are not "off the shelf" products and are highly customized for the client
agency. Our testing model also includes options the city may wish to consider.
A. Additional Candidate Orientation Workshops: One candidate orientation workshop is included for
each assessment center. Additional workshop(s) are available if needed to accommodate the
schedules of candidates. Sometimes, clients want the Candidate Workshop open to all employees who
are interested in preparing for a promotional opportunity. Fee: $500 each session plus travel expenses
B. Work Performance Rating: A PST -exclusive product that is a unique method to objectively incorporate
the candidate's prior work performance into the promotional testing process. Clients who add this
testing element give remarkably high feedback. This is separate from our assessment center exercises
and clients determine the weight of this testing component in the testing process. This one -day -long
process uses evidence provided by documentation, and a facilitated discussion with all the candidate's
supervisors to place objective scores on five performance dimensions. For example, the first line
supervisor dimensions are:
a. Demonstrates Ethical Behavior
b. Demonstrates Agency's Mission & Values
c. Quality of Work
d. Quantity of Work
e. Demonstrates Leadership
A weighting process determines the importance of the individual performance dimensions. Clients
often find that this process has collateral benefits for the involved supervisors and is a positive
experience for the leadership team.
WPR Professional Fees
0 2-10 Candidates @ $2,000 (one -day event)
0 11-20 Candidates @ $3,500 (two-day event)
1 Additional Costs: PST's actual costs incurred for travel, meals, lodging, parking, tolls, and other related expenses are additional.
Mileage will be charged at the current federal standard mileage rate per mile. A 4% surcharge is added to these expenses to cover
administrative fees. Washington State sales tax is NOT charged.

C. Semi -Customized Written Examination for Washington State Law Enforcement or Operations
Supervisor/Manager: A 100-item, multiple-choice, semi -customized written examination. Source
materials include current leadership books and texts (request current list), 6 to 18 months of WSCJTC

specifically valid for Washington State; for a law enforcement or Corrections supervisor/manager and
to your agency. PST needs at least 3-to 4 weeks to develop this product. A minimum of four (4+)
weeks of study time is highly recommended.
What PST does:
• Provides 75 multiple choice questions from the textbook, legal updates, and/or LEDs.
• Develops 30 questions from the agency's critical policies.
• Creates a draft test booklet for pilot testing by the agency.
• Creates the final test booklet and the scoresheet, makes copies for all the candidates, and
ships them to the agency before the administration date.
• Scores the answer sheets, conducts an item analysis, and sends the results to the agency.
What the agency does:
• Announces the test to the candidates, provides the source material to the candidates, and
arranges for the site.
• Specifically identifies the critical policies that will be tested and sends those to PST.
• Determines the span of time for the material from the Legal Updates/LEDs (most clients
choose 6-12 months).

DocuSign Envelope ID: CA496165-EDD5-48F6-8A52-9EEE405FB7C2
E. Supervisory Skills & Abilities Promotional Test (SSA) The SSA is a 3-part event where each
candidate spends 60 minutes before a single panel of 4 or 5 assessors and experiences mini -
exercises. The SSA is generally conducted for 4 or 5 candidates (or less) and is intended only
to rank order the candidates. The typical SSAPT events include (a) a structured interview; (b)
an in -basket exercise where the candidate prioritizes a simulated in -box following their days
off and prioritizes and explains to the assessors the decisions they made and why they made
them; and (c) a critical thinking exercise where the candidate is provided a series of events
that a first line supervisor would face and asked how they would respond. Some
customization is available and multi -day testing is an option.
What is different from an assessment center? Three mini -exercises, fewer assessors, no role
player or written exercises, no job task analysis or weighting the dimensions, fewer
dimensions are scored, no candidate feedback and no candidate orientation workshop are
included in the price.
Fee*: $5,000 for up to 5 candidates, plus $1,900 for each additional day of up to 5 candidates
each day
F. Command Skills & Abilities Promotional Test (CSA) The CSA is a four -exercise testing process
conducted in front of a single panel of assessors, where each event is intended to assess the
different skills and abilities of the candidate. The four parts are: (1) Presentation of Expectations
where the candidate describes their expectations of subordinates as if they are the Command
Officer and the assessors are their subordinates; (2) In -Basket with On -Demand Writing where the
items in the In -Basket are command level issues of budget, labor, personnel, and community
topics; (3) Three Practical Scenarios that are field events or organizational scenarios that a
command level member would typically be expected to handle and (4) Two Case Studies where
the candidate researches and writes a two -page memo about each topic before test day and
makes a presentation at the test event. The candidates generally have 90 minutes to prepare and
then spend 90 minutes with the assessors who have specific expectations for each part identifying
how a strong candidate should perform.
Assessors and Scoring: Four assessors are needed, and they are trained in the morning and will
use PST -supplied laptops. They use a precision scoring model for each behavioral dimension. The
assessor's scores are averaged for each behavioral dimension. The results are a ranked list
provided to the client at end of the test.
What is different from an assessment center? Fewer assessors, no job task analysis or weighting
the dimensions, fewer dimensions are scored, no candidate feedback document and no pre -test
candidate orientation workshop are included.
Fee*: $5,500 for up to 4 candidates, plus $1,900 for each additional day of up to 4 candidates
each day.
G. Onsite Written Examination Proctoring: Onsite written examination proctoring is available at
$100 per hour for each PST staff person required plus staff travel & per diem expenses.

H. Performance Profiles Indicator (PPI). The PPI is a DISC -type of assessment that reveals a candidate's
job performance and aspects of their personality that could impact their manager, coworkers, and
team. It measures a candidate's motivational intensity and behaviors related to productivity. Two
reports are generated: one for the employer and one for the candidate. Clients often use this tool to
help identify who is the best "fit" for the position, and when it is coupled with the post-test comments
from the assessors, these provide the foundation for a great career development conversation.
Fee: $199 per candidate.
Profiles XT Job Match. The ProfileXT is a state-of-the-art occupational assessment tool used to
measure how well an individual fits a specific job in your organization. The job -matching feature
enables you to evaluate an individual relative to the qualities required to successfully perform in a
specific job. Through job analysis and other features, a model is created. When your candidates
complete this assessment, their individual results are compared to the model, and you are provided a
detailed report on how the candidate compares to your model (%).
Fee: $225 per candidate.
J. Additional On -Site Meetings. One on -site meeting is included in the package of services once the
proposal is accepted and signed. Additional virtual meetings may be held at no charge. Additional on -
site meetings can be held at the client's request.
Fee: $125 per hour (including travel time) plus travel expenses
K. Invoicing. PST will generally invoice the agency within 30 days of work being completed.
L. Credit Card. A three percent (3%) charge will be added at the time of payment made using a credit
card to cover processing fees.
M. Termination of Projects.
Final versions of test documents and candidate counts requested must be confirmed by the Subject
Matter Expert (SME) or agency contact no later than two weeks prior to the test date. Without
confirmation, test dates may be postponed, and original candidate counts may be invoiced.
PST and the agency acknowledge that either party may terminate this project at any time with or
without cause. Upon termination, the City shall be liable for the amortized remainder of the
professional fees, if any, from the effective date of the termination notice based on the percentage of
completion of duties listed above. In the event of a lengthy postponement, PST may also submit a
partial invoice based on the percentage of work completed. Also fully reimbursable are all travel
expenses already incurred, if any. These include mileage, ferry, hotel, meals, parking, and tolls. In the
event of a termination or postponement, both parties will agree on the fees.
