SUBJECT: Termination/Award of Contract for Fire and Police Testing
FROM: Cathy Doczekalski, Interim Assistant Village Manager
BUDGET SOURCE/BUDGET IMPACT: Human Resources, #132-76600
RECOMMENDED MOTION: I move that the Village Board, consistent with the
recommendation of the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners, terminate the contract
with Selection Works, LLC. I further move to waive bidding and pass Resolution R-1373,
"A Resolution Terminating An Agreement With Selection Works, LLC And Authorizing
The Execution Of An Agreement With Stanard & Associates, Inc. For Testing Services"
authorizing execution of a contract with Stanard & Associates, Inc., to assist with
developing and administering the Fire and Police testing for entry-level as well as
promotional processes.
Background/History:
Per the request of the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners (BFPC), a Request for Proposal
(RFP) was prepared by staff, posted on the Village website on February 4, 2013 and sent to
various firms which conduct testing services. Along with the customary areas examined in the
RFP process, the highest priority for the BFPC is the firm's experience with addressing the
multi-level rank positions in the Fire and Police Departments.
Proposals were received by the following three firms:
• Industrial/Organizational Solutions, Inc. (I/O)
• Stanard&Associates, Inc. (Stanard)
• Selection Works, LLC (Selection Works)
Based on the RFPs submitted and subsequent interviews conducted of all three firms, the BFPC
and staff recommended Selection Works, LLC for the 2013-2014 Fire and Police Testing
processes, which included, but were not limited to:
• Entry-Level Police Officer Process, undertaken in Fall, 2013

*This cost is applicable only if a subjective battery is added to the cognitive battery in the
written examination to substitute for initial oral tests. It can be reduced by adjusting the
application fee. Additional fees would be incurred if the other two vendors administered an
initial oral test.
It is to be noted that applicants were charged a $40 application fee in the 2013 Entry-Level
Police Officer Application Process and because the number of actual applicants who were
eligible and did sit for the written examination was less than the number of applicants who
purchased the application, the Village received a refund from Selection Works.
However, the BFPC, along with Police Command personnel, were not totally satisfied with the
manner in which the 2013 Entry-Level Police Officer Process was conducted. Additionally, a
few months after a contract was finalized with Selection Works in June, 2013, the BFPC became
aware that Selection Works was merging with I/O Solutions. One of the reasons that the BFPC
went out for RFP in 2013 was their dissatisfaction that the main contact with 1/0 Solutions left
employment with them a month after contracting with the BFPC and formed Selection Works.
The BFPC believes, that while the knowledge and quality of both of these companies' products
are high,the instability of their organizations affected the service level for the BFPC.
The main reason Stanard and Associates was not chosen last Spring was due to them not
providing an online application for the entry-level processes. They have since added that as part
of their service. Staff checked with three government entities who held online application
processes with Stanard & Associates in March and April and all were very satisfied with the
processes. Stanard & Associates previously had a ten-year tenure with the BFPC and always
delivered the highest level of service. Now that they are competitive with online application
capability, the BFPC believes this is an opportune time to re-establish the business relationship.
While the BFPC could go out again for RFP, it will take additional staff time and resources to do
so. Since Stanard is willing to honor their proposal from 2013, it seems more efficient to waive
bidding so that the BFPC can begin two promotional testing processes (required by statute) as
soon as possible.
Recommendation:
Staff concurs with the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners' recommendation to terminate
the contract with Selection Works, LLC and to waive bidding and pass Resolution R-1373
authorizing award of a contract with Stanard &Associates, Inc.

VI. Project Approach/Timeline
Entry-Level Police Officer Written Examination:
Description of the POST: The Police Officer Selection Test(POST) is a content valid, basic_
skills exam developed to comply with the Civil Rights Acts of 1964 and 1991, and the Americans
with Disabilities Act (ADA). The POST measures four basic skills deemed necessary for
successful performance in an entry-level law enforcement positions. These include arithmetic,
reading comprehension, grammar and incident report writing. Study guides for the POST are
also available, and although they are not a mandatory component of the selection system, they
can help reduce candidate test anxiety by familiarizing applicants with the testing procedure,
thereby bringing up minority score levels and ultimately reducing adverse impact.
The use of the POST has been mandated by state law in Iowa, Wyoming and Utah. The POST
has also been adopted by 22 state police chief associations, including the Illinois Association of
Chiefs of Police. S&A has validated the use of the POST in a variety of training academies
throughout the Nation (i.e., Illinois State Training Academy, Iowa State Training Academy; Los
Angeles Police Training Academy; Washington, D.C. Police Training Academy; Virginia Beach
Police Training Academy; Oklahoma Police Training Academy; Chesapeake, Virginia Police
Training Academy; Oklahoma Highway Patrol Training Academy; State of Utah Training
Academy; Oklahoma City Police Training Academy; New Hampshire State Training Academy).
The items in the POST were written to simulate the work of a patrol officer on the job and during
training. Each section is designed to measure a specific skill determined necessary to learn and
perform the patrol officer job. A comprehensive nationwide job analysis of the position of patrol
officer confirmed that successful performance of the position required the basic skills measured
by the POST.
A description of each section of the POST and examples of specific skills tested in each
section are provided below.
Section I. Arithmetic tests a candidate's ability to add, subtract, multiply, divide and
determine percentages and measurements. The questions are all multiple-choice and
require computing such things as overtime hours and squad car mileage. Following are
some examples of specific instances that require various types of math ability.
1. Burglary investigation; adding up and totaling property value
2. Traffic accident report; taking measurements and converting units of
measurement
3. Traffic fines; calculating amounts of fines based level of infraction
Section 11. Reading Comprehension tests a candidate's ability to understand written
words and ideas associated with them. This section requires reading passages closely
related to state and local laws, court cases and patrol duty, and then answering
questions based on these passages. There are both true/false and multiple-choice
questions. Following are some examples of specific tasks that require reading
comprehension.
1. Read and review reports and notes for court testimony
2. Read and understand federal, state, and local statutes
3. Read and understand state policies, procedures, rules, and regulations
(� Stanord
Section III. Grammar tests the candidate's ability to spell and use grammar and
punctuation correctly. This section requires correctly completing sentences containing
patrol-related information and identifying misspelled words. The questions are in a
multiple-choice format. Some examples of tasks involving these skills include:
1. Complete DUI arrest reports
2. Interview complainants, witnesses, medical personnel, etc.
3. Exchange necessary information with other law enforcement officials
Section IV. Incident Report Writing tests the candidate's ability to write complete
sentences with correct spelling, grammar and punctuation. This section requires
answering questions in written form based on an incident report. Some examples of
tasks that require writing skills are:
1. Write technical incident reports
2. Summarize in writing the statements of witnesses and complainants
3. Complete paperwork
Alternate Forms: Four alternate forms of the POST are currently available. To reduce test
security concerns, or concerns about practice effects, S&A recommends that different forms be
used for each consecutive hire period.
Test Scoring and Reporting: After the POST has been administered to applicants, S&A will
collect the tests, score them in accordance with instruction provided by the Village, and provide
a final report of candidates' scores. The final list will include each applicant's name, social
security number, the score on each of the four subsections, the total score and a pass/fail
indication based on the cutoff score established by the Village. Of course, any additional
information or analysis that the Commission/Department may need can be provided upon
request.
POST Validity Evidence: The POST was originally developed in 1991 using a content validation_
approach to identify candidates who possess the basic cognitive skills associated with
successful performance as a police officer, as well as performance in training. The content of
the POST was based on a nationwide job analysis of the position of police officer. The four
sections of the POST were developed to measure important basic skills identified in the job
analysis. Since the inception of the POST in 1991, S&A has conducted numerous research
studies examining its validity in different agencies.
Content Validity: Content validity studies involve conducting a job analysis in a specific agency
and examining whether the skills measured by the POST are necessary for the successful
completion of tasks associated with the job of law enforcement officer. In many instances, S&A
has administered a comprehensive Job Analysis Questionnaire(JAQ)to a large sample of an
agency's current law enforcement officers, asking them to rate tasks, skills and abilities with
regard to their importance to their job and the amount of time spent performing the tasks, or
using the Knowledge, Skills and Abilities (KSAs). These data have been compiled and
examined to determine if the POST is measuring important job skills. Since 1991, S&A has
conducted 19 local content validity studies for agencies across the country.
Criterion-Related Validity: A criterion-related validity study involves administering the POST to
current police officers or cadets and collecting data related either to their job performance or
training performance. Then a statistical analysis is conducted to see if a significant relationship
exists between performance on the POST and performance on the job or in training. Since
0 Stanard
1991, S&A has conducted 18 criterion-related validity studies with the POST for agencies and
training academies across the country.
A review of the validity studies conducted with the POST shows substantial support for the
content and criterion- related validity of the test, providing substantial evidence that the
POST assesses basic skills necessary to perform job tasks successfully, and that POST test
scores are related to measures of performance both in training on the job.
Entry-Level Firefighter Written Examination:
Description of the NFST: In 1992, Stanard &Associates began development of The National
Firefighter Selection Test(NFST), a content valid written examination to assist with the
selection of entry- level firefighters and firefighter/EMTs. The development process extended
through 1994 and resulted in the National Firefighter Selection Test (NFST)for firefighters and
the National Firefighter Selection Test-EMS (NFST/EMS) for firefighter/EMTs. Both tests offer a
content-valid,job-related, fair, and objective pre-employment screening tool designed to identify
those candidates who have the essential basic skills necessary to perform successfully as a
firefighter or a firefighter/EMT.
Our experience in test development has shown that the multiple hurdle approach, which calls for a
candidate to demonstrate proficiency in a required skill to move to the next level of testing, is the most
efficient assessment method. The NFST and NFST/EMS identify people who lack the ability to read,
listen or perform mathematical computations at a level that would allow them to perform effectively as a
firefighter. Eliminating these people from the more expensive steps in the selection procedure (i.e.,
personality assessments, medical/drug testing and interviews) makes the selection process much more
cost effective.
NFST/EMS demonstrates content validity and was specifically designed to reflect actual job content as
accurately as possible. Content validity ensures compliance with the Federal Uniform Guidelines on
Employee Selection Procedures, specifically Section 5B which defines content validity as:
A demonstration that the content of a selection procedure is representative of
important aspects of performance on the job...Content validity is appropriate where it
is technically and administratively feasible to develop work samples or measures of
operationally defined skills, knowledge, or abilities which are a necessary
prerequisite of observable work behaviors.
The NFST/EMS also complies with the Americans with Disabilities Act(ADA), and the fact that
it is content valid also decreases the likelihood that candidates will challenge test results. The
ADA prohibits discrimination against individuals on the basis of a disability unless such disability
prevents an individual from performing essential job duties, even after accommodation. The
basic skills of reading, listening and arithmetic were identified as critical for performing the
essential tasks of the job of firefighter/EMT. Specifically, the skills targeted in the NFSTIEMS's
work samples have been found to be critical to successful on-the-job performance, regardless
of an individual's background or handicap, thus the NFST complies with the ADA.
C) Sfanard
In order to ensure that a test is content-valid, the Guidelines recommend that a job analysis be
conducted. This involves an in-depth study of important work behaviors required for successful
performance on a particular job. Stanard &Associates, Inc. conducted a nationwide job analysis
for firefighter and firefighter/EMT which included a literature review; an examination of the
content, reading level and complexity of firefighter work materials; meetings with a firefighter
subject matter expert panel;job analysis interviews with fire department incumbents; 24- hour
job observations and the development of a questionnaire designed to identify the critical tasks
performed by firefighters and the critical skills necessary to perform these tasks. Job analysis
questionnaires were completed by firefighters and firefighterlEMTs in three distinct geographical
regions of the nation (Western, Midwest and Eastern U.S.).
The job analysis identified 253 tasks, 27 personality characteristics and 28 items involving use
of tools essential for successful performance in the job of firefighter and firefighter/EMT. Each
question on the NFST/EMS has been confirmed to relate directly to one or more of these job-
related items. The only skill which distinguished firefighterlEMTs from firefighters was the ability
to learn technical, medically-oriented subject matter. For this reason, the reading
comprehension portion of the NFST/EMS includes medical-related subject matter in addition to
firefighting-related material
A sample test question from the Mathematics section demonstrates the job relatedness of the tests:
If the maximum speed a fire truck can travel on a road is 40 mph, what would be the absolute
best time (in minutes) that an engineer could expect to get to a fire 6 miles away?
A. 4
B. 9
C. 16
D. 18
As part of the validation process, Stanard & Associates examined data to ensure test fairness
and reliability. Items which were potentially biased against minorities, women or older
applicants were removed. The validation process also included a statistical analysis of each
question to eliminate any questions found to be of inappropriate difficulty or an unreliable
indicator of test performance. After this elimination of potentially biased or unreliable items,
tests for reliability were conducted. Reliability estimates range from 0.0 to 1.0. As the reliability
coefficient increases, so does the extent to which the items in a test are consistently measuring
an attribute, in this case, basic skills. The reliability estimates for the Reading Comprehension,
Mathematics and Listening Comprehension sections of the NFST (Form A) are .69, .84 and .70
respectively. For Form B they are .68, . 83, and .62. This indicates that most of the variance of
the observed scores on the NFST/EMS are due to real differences in skill levels among the test
takers and not to inconsistency in the test items.
O Stanard
Entry-Level Oral Board Interview
Step 1. An S&A Consultant will meet with the Fire and Police Commission, Human
Resources Director and/or Chief of Police/Fire to determine the dimensions to be
measured. Question content and scoring criteria will be selected based on these
dimensions. Interview panel members will then select questions from our database
relevant to situations entry-level officers/firefighters in Oak Brook are actually likely to
encounter. This meeting will last approximately 2 hours.
Step 2. S&A will revise six to eight questions and corresponding scoring criteria selected from
our database per specifications of the interview panel members. The consultant will
also prepare all candidate materials, including an administration guide and rating forms.
Step 3. An S&A consultant will conduct a training session with all interview panel members. The
panel will be trained on the interview process, interview questions, scoring criteria,
general rating information and participate in a mock role-play exercise. This meeting will
last approximately 3 hours.
Step 4. Once the oral interviews are administered, S&A will computer scan all rating forms. S&A
will use this data to determine the composite scores for each entry-level candidate (for
example, combine the written exam and oral interview scores). The scores will then be
provided to the Fire and Police Commission within one week of administration.
O Stanard
The following outlines S&A proposed work plan for development, administration, and analysis of
the promotional processes indicated in the Request for Proposal. We are proposing to develop
customized promotional procedures which fully conform to Illinois State Laws, the Rules and
Regulations of the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners for the Village of Oak Brook Illinois
and the Fire Department Promotions Act. S&A understands and agrees to manage the
development, implementation/execution, and all administrative responsibilities related to all
phases of the promotional processes we are involved with.
Promotional Written Examination
The written promotional examination will be administered prior to (or after)the assessment
phase for police and after the assessment phase for fire candidates, as per the Firefighter
Promotion Act requiring that all candidates are eligible to sit for the written phase of the testing
process.
The steps involved in developing and administering a written promotional examination are
provided below.
Step 1. An S&A representative will meet with the Subject Matter Expert (SME) panel to
review current job descriptions and to identify:
• The subject matter areas to be measured by the test
• The source materials needed for writing test questions
• The percentage of questions to be taken from each source
S&A would also have these SME panel members sign confidentiality agreements
binding them not to talk about promotional written test content with anyone else.
Step 2. S&A's experienced test item writers will prepare questions according to the
specifications determined by the SME group. Questions will be written to sample
each of the identified knowledge areas. The information confirmed and collected
at the SME meeting will specify the number of questions to be written from each
knowledge area. S&A envisions that the test will have 100 questions. All items
will be written to be relevant to the rank. All test materials and test questions will
be kept in a locked and secure area. S&A will ensure that the test materials are
not compromised and that no unauthorized personnel are allowed access to the
test prior to its administration.
Step 3. Concurrent with Step 2. above, S&A will prepare a reading list which specifically
outlines the source materials candidates should study. This will be completed as
soon as possible to give candidates at least 90 days to study. (In the case of
Fire candidate exams, as per the Fire Department Promotion Act, the Board will
be responsible for providing a set of source materials at each duty station and
allowing all candidates equal access to these books).
5tanard
Step 4. The test development process will incorporate extensive review procedures.
Prior to test administration, each question will be thoroughly reviewed against the
original source documentation by test writers and project supervisors. Since
some material is not conducive to a multiple choice format, about 10% of the
exam may contain true/false items.
Step 5. S&A will administer the written examination. S&A will provide all necessary test
supplies (test booklets, scannable answer sheets, pencils, etc.)and be
responsible for the supervision, distribution and collection of all exam materials,
as well as providing candidate instructions and answering any questions.
Immediately following the written exam administration and in order to ensure the
relevance and criticality of test material, the Oak Brook SME panel will also
review test questions. This SME panel may consist of the same individuals used
in the original SME panel that confirmed the written examination areas of
measurement. SME panel members will be instructed to review each question
along the following dimensions: on-the job relevance, clarity of meaning,
accuracy of the answer, quality and plausibility of the distracter alternatives and
appropriate difficulty level.
S&A will provide one consultant to administer the written examination at a
date, time, and location to be determined by the Oak Brook Board of Fire and
Police Commissioners. S&A will ensure that all test materials and
administration instructions are standardized and fair for all candidates.
Step 6. In addition to a review by the SME panel, candidates may provide feedback on
test items after completing the test S&A test writers will prepare responses to
challenges and these will be reviewed by Industrial and Organizational
psychology staff. Decisions regarding whether or not to grant credit for a
challenged item will be made on a case-by-case basis. Criteria for the removal
of an item are (1)whether there was any evidence that candidates universally
misinterpreted a question stem, the correct response alternative, or distractor
response alternatives, or(2)whether the question is related to a policy that is
carried out differently in practice. Where appropriate, item statistics for
challenged items will be reviewed in conjunction with the challenge itself. S&A
will provide its written response to challenges to the Board.
Step 7. Once the item challenge process is complete, S&A will provide the Board with a
computerized final list of written exam scores, one list sorted in descending order
by written exam score, and the other list sorted alphabetically by last name. S&A
will also provide written notification to all candidates of their test scores if
requested. Also, per the Board rules and regulations S&A can prepare a final
promotional list with appropriate weightings assigned to each testing phase.
�) Stanard
Promotional Assessment Phase
The assessment center development process will yield job-related assessment exercises,
evaluation guidelines, and behaviorally-anchored scoring guidelines for use by assessors
charged with the task of objectively evaluating candidates' performance. Law Enforcement or
Fire Service professionals from external Police and Fire Departments will be recruited to serve
as assessors for the assessment phase. S&A will develop a list of potential assessors for the
assessment center process, will be responsible for confirming the final set of assessors, and
then training this group of external public safety professionals. The steps required to complete
this phase of the project are delineated below.
Step 1. An S&A representative will meet with the Village of Oak Brook SME panel (3-4
current Oak Brook command staff members at the rank being tested for, or
higher)to review the current job description for the rank being evaluated and
develop three (3) assessment exercises. In conjunction with the SME panel,
S&A will identify a number of relevant situations for measurement in the
exercises (e.g., a police tactical situation, structure fire/tactical exercise, problem
employee exercise, training exercise, etc.). With the assistance of the SME
panel, complete scenarios with background information will be developed. A
typical scenario involves background information on a given situation and
structured questions regarding what action the candidate would take. S&A will
ensure that assessment exercises assess performance dimensions which are
job-related and important to the Village/Department.
Step 2. If desired, an S&A consultant will conduct a candidate orientation session. In this
session, the consultant will describe the assessment exercises and dimensions
on which candidates will be rated as well as provide information on the written
examination. From our experience, the more candidates know about the
promotional process, the better they feet about participating in it. Therefore, we
recommend the orientation be conducted as part of the promotional process.
Step 3. Once the assessment exercises have been developed, S&A will work with the
SME panel to generate a list of ideal behaviors/responses indicative of the
KSAs elicited by each exercise. These behaviors will be compiled for each
dimension in each exercise. They will be used to create behavioral checklists for
each exercise which will help the assessors rate each candidate. S&A will
develop a first draft and will work with the SMEs to refine the scoring criteria.
Once the checklists have been created, a behaviorally-anchored rating scale will
be developed for each KSA measured by the assessment phase. These rating
scales will help assessors make their final ratings on each dimension and will
help ensure their ratings are objective.
() Stanard
Step 4. S&A will work with the Board to select external assessors based on their
experience working on other assessment processes of a similar nature. The
number of assessors required will depend on the number of candidates and
exercises. The assessors are typically law enforcement/fire service professionals
from other departments. We pay special attention to securing assessors of
diverse racial and gender backgrounds. S&A understands that the Board/Chief
has the right to review these selections and make appropriate recommendations.
Although most of these individuals will have previous experience as assessors,
S&A representatives will conduct a thorough training session. The training will
include (but not be limited to) the following components: 1)Assessment
philosophy and nature; 2) Orientation and background on the Oak Brook
Police/Fire Department; 3) Discussion and training on the assessment
dimensions; 4) Discussion and training on all assessment exercises; 5)Training
on scoring criteria for each exercise; 6) General training on rater observation;
and 7) How to conduct summary and consensus meetings.
Step 5. An S&A staff member will be present for administration of the assessment
process. The number of days needed will be based on the number of candidates
eligible for this phase, as well as the number of exercises. S&A will have
assessors observe candidates live and on-site to make ratings. Although it
would ultimately be the Board's responsibility, S&A will work with the Board to
secure the appropriate space, equipment, materials, etc., for the assessment
process administration.
Step 6. Assessors will rate each candidate immediately following each exercise.After
they have rated the candidate, the assessors will have a brief consensus
discussion to determine the extent of rating agreement, clarify any aspect of a
candidate's performance where there is disagreement and align ratings so they
are not significantly divergent(e.g., no more than 3 points apart on a 10 point
rating scale).
Step 7. Assessment exercise ratings will be collected, entered, manually checked and
scored by S&A. Scores from the assessment exercises will be provided to the
Board in the desired format.
