CITY OF FEDERAL WAY
MEMORANDUM
DATE: November 12, 2019
TO: City Council Members
VIA: Jim. Ferrell, Mayor
FROM: Andy J. Hwang, Chief of Police
SUBJECT: Public Safety Testing (PST)—Amendment#3 —Total Cost of
Compensation Increase
—_..........— — ...mm________....................................._........................m
I inancial Impacts:
Amendment 43 is being submitted to request a total cost increase of$2,560.00. The funding
source will come from the existing Federal Way Police Department budget.
BackgroundInformation:
In 2017, FWPD contracted with PST to provide a Lieutenant Assessment Center testing
process to establish a list of qualified lieutenant candidates for promotion. The cost for the
Assessment Center process was paid for using funds set aside for the Subscriber Agreement.
This depleted a large percentage of the available funds.
In December 2017, we no longer had sufficient funds to continue paying PST for their
services. We submitted a contract Amendment to increase the total cost of compensation
from $22,500 to $37,500, which was approved.
In December 2018, we initiated the process to contract with PST for another Lieutenant
Assessment Center testing process to be conducted in mid-2019, after being informed of
anticipated retirements during the 2019 calendar year.
Amendment#2 requested the total cost of compensation be increased to$47,500 to cover the
2019 Lieutenant Assessment Center testing process and the remainder of the$7,500 annual
recruitment and testing costs for 2019.
Amendment #3 requests the total cost of compensation be increased to $50,060 (an
additional $2,560) to cover the administrative costs of the 2019 Lieutenant Assessment
Center testing process due to the large pool of candidates, the PST employees' travel and
housing expenses, and to cover the remainder of the annual recruitment and testing costs for
2019. We are due to negotiate for a new agreement in 2020.
The services provided by PST are excellent and no other vendor meets our recruitment and
candidate testing requirements.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: February 12, 2019
TO: City Council Members
VIA: Jim Ferrell, Mayor
FROM: Andy J. Hwang, Chief of Police
SUBJECT: Public Safety Testing (PST)—Amendment#2—Total Cost of
Compensation Increase
Financial Impacts:
Amendment#2 is being submitted to request a total cost increase of$10,000. The funding
source will come from the existing Federal Way Police Department budget.
•
Background Information:
In 2017, FWPD contracted with PST to provide a Lieutenant Assessment Center testing
process to establish a list of qualified lieutenant candidates for promotion. The cost for the
Assessment Center process was paid for using funds set aside for the Subscriber Agreement.
This depleted a large percentage of the available funds.
In December 2017, we no longer had sufficient funds to continue paying PST for their
services. We submitted a contract Amendment to increase the total cost of compensation
from$22,500 to $37,500,which was approved.
In December 2018, we initiated the process to contract with PST for another Lieutenant
Assessment Center testing process to be conducted in mid-2019, after being informed of
anticipated retirements during the 2019 calendar year.
Amendment#2 requests the total cost of compensation be increased to$47,500 to cover the
2019 Lieutenant Assessment Center testing process and the remainder of the$7,500 annual
recruitment and testing costs for 2019. Amendment#2 will be effective on the date signed
through December 31, 2019.
The services provided by PST are excellent and no other vendor meets our recruitment and
candidate testing requirements.

necessary for the Subscriber to place passing applicants upon its eligibility list,
and rank them relative to other candidates on appropriately constituted
continuous testing eligibility lists. Contractor will report "raw" test scores to the

process, to participate in the defense of any testing process conducted by the
Contractor pursuant to this Agreement and to otherwise provide any information

expert witness deemed necessary by the Subscriber to validate the testing
process, including but not limited to, representatives of any company which

is deemed necessary to validate the process.
Provided, however, Contractor shall not be required to appear at its cost nor to
defend in any administrative or court proceeding arising from or out of a claim
or challenge relating to Subscriber's use of other testing process(es) or out of
Subscriber's attempt to establish multiple or blended eligibility lists for the same
position based in whole or in part on other testing process(es). "Other testing
process(es)" means any test or testing process other than those provided by
the Contractor under this Agreement.
1.4 Term & Fees. The term of this agreement and the related professional fees are
noted on page one (1) of this Agreement.
1.5 Payment. Subscriber shall pay an amount equal to twenty -five percent (25 %)

previous quarter and for basic services including but not limited to, software
relating to online application, advertising formats, previously advertised
scheduling of test dates, model civil service rules, testing systems, as well as
ongoing testing and recruitment, and any and all other work developed at the
cost of the Contractor prior to or contemporaneous with the execution of this
Agreement. Payment shall be made within 45 days of receipt of invoice.

additional fee for payments made using direct deposit (ACH enrollment).

Contractor. Such services shall be requested by and contracted for pursuant to
separate written agreement.
3. Acknowledgements of Subscriber. The Subscriber understands and acknowledges,
and specifically consents to the following stipulations and provisions:
3.1 Because applicable civil service law prohibits having multiple eligibility lists for

months from the date of certification by the Contractor or 12 months from the
date of placement upon the Subscriber's eligibility list, whichever first occurs,
following the report of the Contractor, and rules compatible with continuous
testing shall be adopted. The Subscriber shall review its applicable hiring
processes, advertisements, personnel policies and civil service rules (as
applicable) to ensure compliance with the provisions of this Agreement.
3.3 An applicant may, in addition to the Subscriber's eligibility list, elect to have
his /her score reported to and subject to placement on the eligibility list of any
other Subscriber. Nothing in this Agreement shall be interpreted to prohibit the
use of an applicants' score for consideration in or processing through any other
subscriber's hiring and /or civil service eligibility process. The Subscriber agrees
that if an applicant is hired by another agency through this service, the
applicant's name shall be removed from Subscriber's eligibility list.
3.4 The Subscriber specifically understands and acknowledges that the Contractor
may charge a reasonable application fee from any and all applicants.

firefighter candidates, the Subscriber agrees to complete a Candidate Physical
Ability Test (CPAT) validity transportability study and successfully apply to the
International Association of Firefighters (IAFF) for a CPAT License. The one-
time fee for the validity transportability study is $750. If the Subscriber is

Contractor that the Subscriber must meet. Tests shall also be conducted in
accordance with the general standards established by the Subscriber; the

process or limitation. The test utilized, the proctoring of the test and any and all other

testing utilized, shall comply with all applicable copyrights and laws. The Contractor
expressly agrees and warrants that all tests and written materials utilized have been
acquired by the Contractor in accordance with the appropriate copyright agreements
and laws and that it has a valid right to use and administer any written materials and
tests in accordance with such agreements and laws. If Subscriber uses or authorizes
the use of other testing process(es) this warranty shall be null and void.
5. Independent Contractor. The Contractor is an independent contractor. Any and all
agents, employees or contractors of the Contractor, shall have such relation only
with the Contractor. Nothing herein shall be interpreted to create an employment,
agency or contractual relationship between the Subscriber and any employee, agent
or sub - contractor of the Contractor.
6. Indemnity and Hold Harmless. The parties agree and hold harmless each other, their
officers, agents and employees in accordance with the following provisions:
