DESCRIPTION

The government authority in Madison, Wisconsin seeks a vendor to provide physical readiness test services tailored for law enforcement academy applicants and officers. Key responsibilities include conducting comprehensive job task analyses to identify the necessary physical abilities for safe participation in academy training and for performing law enforcement duties.

Vendors will design and develop physical abilities test batteries that accurately reflect essential job tasks, alongside standardized protocols and scoring criteria. These processes must be fair, ensuring no disparate impact on protected classes and supporting diverse candidates who meet the necessary physical requirements. Additional duties involve providing train-the-trainer courses for credentialed fitness assessors, preparing administration manuals, participant guides, and practical preparation materials for candidates.

Lastly, the provider must conduct adverse impact analyses to confirm that test procedures and outcomes do not disproportionately affect protected groups with the requisite physical abilities.
