Keeping of these two logs in particular must be coordinated with the JFO and Region where Responder Support Camps will be located. OSHA 300and 301 logs shall be provided to the OSHA Recordkeeping Manager on quarterly and annual basis. Since Responder Support Camps are temporary, it is important for the JFO and Regions to maintain these logs and submit them as needed.

CAMP DEMOBILIZATION The contractor shall develop and present a demobilization plan to the COTR/TM and CO within 14 days of occupation of site. The Contractor shall demobilize the base camp within seven days of notice, or as negotiated, by the Contracting Officer. The Contractor shall demobilize camp, clean the site, remove/dispose of all garbage and used materials and return the site to its original condition within seven days of the demobilization notice. All associated costs for time and travel from the disaster incident after base camp demobilization must be incorporated in the overall demobilization costs. Questions to include on the RFI 1. FEMA has in the past in most cases used tents for housing First Responders when they had to construct the camp in open spaces. Are you aware of any other options versus building a "tent city"? 2. FEMA needs the ability to reduce or increase the size of the camp in a short timeframe. Based on that what is the best method of cost migration? Is there a way to execute reductions or increases more cost effectively and time efficiently? 3. FEMA has a requirement to provide turn key housing for First Responders for a minimum of 301 and a maximum of 2000 occupants. Would you recommend phasing or modular installation? 4. What is the shortest period of time in which subcontracting for equipment and personnel needed to support the camp (maintenance) can be conducted? 5. Based on the still pending requirement that all personnel must be cleared at a minimum, fingerprinting and credit check, will this affect the time to erect a camp and turn it over for occupancy by FEMA authorized personnel? The current time is 72 hours.
