AmeriCorps*NCCC - Statement of Work - for SAFETY and FIRE BOOTS 1. HISTORY: AmeriCorps*NCCC is a residential national service program operated by the Corporation for National and Community Service. The AmeriCorps*NCCC mission is to strengthen communities and develop leaders through team-based national and community service. Built on the legacy of the Civilian Conservation Corps of the 1930s, AmeriCorps*NCCC is premised on the belief that civic responsibility is an inherent duty of all citizens and that national service can effectively solve local problems while providing opportunities to learn practical skills and engender a life-long commitment of service to others. The AmeriCorps*NCCC mission is accomplished through the engagement of young people ages 18 - 24 in team based service on projects in local communities throughout designated regions of the country. 2. GENERAL: Our program requires the members to work on construction sites, trails, and other rigorous work sites that make it imperative they wear safety boots. Non-steel toe boots are also necessary to support the wild fire fighting mission. Therefore, an experienced provider is needed to deliver and fit the boots they provide at the time of fitting. This is with the exception of fire boots since they will be provided according to size fitted when the members arrive. 3. SERVICE NEED: AmeriCorps*NCCC's campuses require a safety boot provider for new volunteers (referred to as members throughout this document). There are four types of boots requested. One is a standard steel-toe boot, a composite-toe boot for cold climates, a summer service safety boot, and a wild fire boot. Specific specifications are provided in Section 4 (Boot Specifications). Campuses normally commence in two seasons-fall and winter. These openings may change at the discretion of the Corporation and the provider must provide on-site fittings of boots that coincide with the arrival or our members. 4. BOOT SPECIFICATIONS: A.
