Final Eligibility List. CONSULTANT will develop a final eligibility list of candidates and present it to the Overland Park Police Department in rank order, bands or another format, as indicated by the CITY. CONSULTANT will work with the CITY’S Project team to determine the most appropriate list format. CONSULTANT shall prepare language that the CITY can use to notify candidates of their performance.
Final Eligibility List. Upon completion of the Oral Interview Board, a final score will be given to each candidate, still in the process, calculated by the 40% weighted written exam and 60 % of the Oral Interview Board score. Additional military service or certification points shall be added to the final score. Processed candidates will be ranked on the Final Eligibility List in order of this final score. In the event of a tied score: The initial tiebreaker will be based on the candidates’ final score prior to adding any additional points. If a tie still exists, the written examination scores (with additional points) shall be used as the secondary tiebreaker. If a tie still exists, the written examination raw scores (without additional points) shall be used as the tertiary tiebreaker. If a tie still exists, the applicants shall be ranked by certification level as a Firefighter through the Texas Commission on Fire Protection from highest to lowest as the quaternary tiebreaker. If a tie still exists, the applicants shall be ranked in order that their tests were turned in as the quinary tiebreaker. If a tie still exists, after the quinary tiebreaker, the candidates shall be ranked in the order by lot as determined by the Civil Service Director. Upon receiving the contingent job offer, each candidate must successfully complete a Fire Department medical screening to obtain a final job offer. When a vacancy occurs, the Department Head shall appoint the eligible, suitable applicant having the highest final overall score on the Final Eligibility List unless the Department Head has a valid reason for not appointing the person. Each hiring eligibility list remains in existence for one (1) year after the written examination, unless the list is exhausted before that time. If the Final Eligibility List resulting from the processed pool of applicants is not sufficient for the employment needs of the Department, or the list is exhausted prior to its one (1) year existence, the Department Head shall process the next pool(s) to create an additional Final Eligibility List.
