CONTRACTOR REQUIREMENTS (CONT): " Contractor shall be signed up under current EERA for gel tender capabilities in order to bid on this contract. Copies of the agreement will be furnished at time of award. " The Government has interagency and cooperative agreements with other Federal, State, and local agencies, therefore the Contractor should have equipment pre-signed with these agencies (i.e., if contractor is on standby with BLM and CDF breaks a fire, contractor may be dispatched to CDF fire, but must have an agreement on file with CDF). " If awarded contract, tender and operator shall not be used or other purposes. " Contractor shall be required to furnish all fuel and operating supplies under subsequent contract. If dispatched to an incident and the Government has a fuel tender available, contractor may use this service and have this amount deducted from the payment. " Contractor may be required to furnish a qualified and fully licensed relief operator for shifts exceeding 16 hours. OPERATORS REQUIREMENTS: " Operators must have proof of having completed at least 8 hours of fire safety training, including fire shelter use, prior to the start of the contract/purchase order. " Have appropriate level of California Drivers License for the vehicle that they are operating. " Operators shall have: o Flashlight o Personal protective equipment (PPE), including nomex shirts and trousers meeting Cal OSHA specifications (nomex shroud is recommended); 8" leather boots; leather gloves; hard hat, goggles; NWCG approved fire shelter; and a canteen(s) with water (one (1) gallon minimum. MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT: Payment will be made based upon calendar days under hire. The Contractor will be on duty from 1000 hours to 1800 hours (10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.) for a total of eight (8) hours a day. During this period, equipment will be ready to leave within five (5) minutes of receiving an order to proceed to a fire assignment. During periods of high lightening activity tender/operator may be required to remain on shift for extended staffing. The daily standby rate shall apply for these additional hours and be calculated as follows: $240.00 (daily rate bid by contractor) divided by 8 hours (number of hours in workday) = $30.00/hour. $30.00 x 2 hours (extending staffing hours) = $60.00 Total payment for the day would be $300.00 ($240.00 daily rate + $60.00 extending staffing). When dispatched to an incident the time under the standby rate will stop and time under hire will be converted to the Emergency Equipment Rental Agreement (EERA) rate until equipment is release from the incident. If Water Tender is used WITHOUT gel capabilities, time under hire will be paid on Water Tender/EaTIS EERA. If Water Tender is used WITH gel capabilities, time under hire will be paid on Gel Tender EERA. Contractor will only be paid under one of the payment provisions (standby rate, Water Tender/EaTIS EERA rate, or Gel Tender rate), not a combination of rates. For example: If the equipment is on shift from 1000 to 1800 and does not "roll" to an incident, they will be paid the daily standby rate for that day. If the equipment is on shift from 1000 to 1800 and is requested to stay on shift for an additional two (2) hours for extending staffing, they will be paid the daily standby rate, plus and additional two (2) hours of the daily rate for that shift. If the equipment comes on shift and "rolls" to an incident and the tender is used for water only, they will be paid the applicable rate under the Water Tender/EaTIS EERA, or the daily standby rate, whichever is greater. If the equipment comes on shift and "rolls" to an incident and the tender is used for gel, they will be paid the applicable rate under the Gel Tender EERA, or the daily standby rate, whichever is greater. If the equipment comes on shift and "rolls" to an incident and the tender is used for both water and gel, they will be paid the daily standby rate, or the Water Tender/EaTIS EERA rate, or the Gel Tender rate, whichever is greater.
