All three of these classifications will be in need, as outlined below, of an eligible register for promotion in calendar year 2001. Due to the length of the process to properly solicit, review, and identify potential qualified test developers, as well as the time needed to develop said examinations, the RFP process must begin eight to ten months prior to the anticipated examination date. In addition, when the promotional examinations for the Department of Fire -Rescue have been bid out with multiple classifications in one RFP, more cost efficient bids have been received. The eligible registers for the classifications of Chief Fire Officer, Fire Captain, and Fire Lieutenant will expire on January 21, 2001, January 20, 2001, and November 25, 2001, respectively. The eligible registers established by these examinations will provide an eligible register for promotion to Chief Fire Officer, Fire Captain, and Fire Lieutenant until February 20, 2003, February 19, 2003 and December 24, 2003, respectively. The provision of promotional examinations and term of eligible registers is a negotiated provision with the collective bargaining agreement in Article 10 of the "Agreement between City of Miami, Florida, and International Association of Firefighters, AFL-CIO, Local 587: October 1, 1998 through September 30, 2001." Funding will be appropriated in an amount estimated at $150,000 for all three promotional examinations in fiscal year 2000-2001 from the general operating budget of the Department of Fire -rescue, Account Code No. 001000.280601.6.270, as verified by the Departlnent f Management and Budget.
