HUD-MWRD_(FY25-26).pdf

This document outlines a Request for Proposals from the City of Tucson, Arizona for promotional examination development and administration services for the Tucson Fire Department. The City seeks qualified contractors to conduct job analyses of essential knowledge, skills, and abilities, and to develop and administer independent promotional testing processes for two positions: Fire Captain and Fire Battalion Chief. Offerors may respond to either section individually or both sections based on their expertise and capacity, with each section evaluated independently for award. The successful contractor(s) must work collaboratively with Fire Department and City Human Resources staff, demonstrate immediate familiarity with departmental operations and policies, and ensure compliance with the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA). The City retains responsibility for establishing employee eligibility requirements and candidate identification. The promotional testing for Fire Captain should emphasize first-line supervisory competencies as defined in the current job description, while testing for Fire Battalion Chief should reflect managerial competencies similarly outlined in the applicable job description.

The document references HUD-MWRD funding categories for both routine and non-routine activities for fiscal years 2025-2026, indicating the financial structure supporting this procurement. Specific pricing terms, response deadlines, site visit requirements, bidders' conferences, and contract award dates are referenced but not detailed in the provided excerpt. The contracting structure allows for separate awards by section, enabling the City to select the most advantageous offeror for each promotional examination independently, thereby optimizing contractor selection based on demonstrated capability for specific fire service supervisory and managerial assessment expertise.
