SUBJECT
Title
Authorize a five-year service price agreement for situational judgment testing and personality inventory for the Dallas Fire-Rescue Department. - Front Line Mobile Health, PLLC, most advantageous proposer of five - Estimated amount of $1,205,625.00 - Financing: General Fund (subject to annual appropriations)
Body
BACKGROUND
This action does not encumber funds; the purpose of a service price agreement is to establish firm pricing for services, for a specific term, which are ordered on an as needed basis according to annual budgetary appropriations. The estimated amount is intended as guidance rather than a cap on spending under the agreement, so that actual need combined with the amount budgeted will determine the amount spent under this agreement.
This service price agreement will provide for situational judgment testing and personality inventory for the Dallas Fire-Rescue Department (DFR). This testing will enhance the interview structure currently used by DFR for the officer trainee position. The purpose of performing the situational judgment testing and personality inventory is to identify candidates that may pose a behavioral risk to the department and measure characteristics such as integrity, emotional stability, interpersonal sensitivity, self-discipline, conscientiousness, and resiliency.
A six-member committee from the following departments reviewed and evaluated the qualifications:
• Civil Service (1)
• Dallas Fire-Rescue Department (2)
• Dallas Police Department (1)
• Office of Procurement Services (2)*
*The Office of Procurement Services evaluated cost, local preference, and the Business Inclusion and Development Plan, if applicable.
The committee selected the successful respondents on the basis of demonstrated competence and qualifications under the following criteria:
• Approach 20 points
• Cost 20 points
• Experience 20 points
• Quality of Product 20 points
• Business Inclusion and Development Plan 15 points
• Local Preference 5 points
As part of the solicitation process and in an effort to increase competition, the Office of Procurement Services used its procurement system to send out email notifications to vendors registered under relevant commodity codes. To further increase competition, the Office of Procurement Services uses historical solicitation information, the Internet, and vendor contact information obtained from user departments to contact additional vendors.
On November 10, 2015, the City Council authorized a living wage policy that requires contractors to pay their employees a “living wage” rate as established annually by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Living Wage Calculator for Dallas County by Resolution No. 15-2141. The calculated living wage during the solicitation process of this contract is $22.05; the selected vendor meets this requirement.
