Fire Battalion Chief Promotional Exam and Practical Assessment

The City of Raleigh is seeking proposals for the preparation and delivery of a written exam and an assessment center for the rank of Battalion Chief. The selected vendor will be responsible for developing and administering a written exam and a virtual assessment center to evaluate candidates for the position of Battalion Chief. The written exam will consist of 100 questions, and the assessment center will include three exercises designed to measure the candidates' tactical, management, and supervisory skills. The vendor will also be responsible for scoring the exams and providing documentation of the assessment process. • The written exam will be administered annually, with up to 20 candidates expected to participate. • The assessment center will be delivered virtually, with the vendor providing the facility, equipment, and logistics. • The vendor will work closely with the Raleigh Fire Department to develop and deliver the assessment center exercises. • The final scores for the promotional examination will be compiled and submitted in an Excel spreadsheet, with the written test and assessment process each carrying equal weight in the overall evaluation.
