SECTION B - INTRODUCTION

B.1 – INCIDENT BLANKET PURCHASE AGREEMENT (I-BPA) USE AND INTENT

(a) The intent of this solicitation is to obtain the services described in D.1 Scope of Agreement for Local, Regional, and Nationwide fire suppression and all-hazard incidents.

B.2 -- PRICING AND ESTIMATED QUANTITY

(a) This solicitation will result in multiple agreements. The dollar limitation for any individual order is the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT). Since the needs of the Government and availability of Contractor's resources during an emergency cannot be determined in advance, it is mutually agreed that, upon request of the Government, the Contractor shall furnish the resources listed herein to the extent the Contractor is willing and able at the time of order. Due to the sporadic occurrence of Incident activity, the placement of any orders IS NOT GUARANTEED.

(b) Proposed rates shall include, but are not limited to, labor (as required), equipment, operating supplies, materials, State and Federal taxes (including workers compensation costs), insurance coverage, transportation costs, overhead, and profit, and any costs/fees necessary to ensure equipment/operators/crews meet(s) the specified standards.

(c) Resources furnished under this agreement may be operated and subjected to extreme environmental and/or strenuous operating conditions which could include but is not limited to unimproved roads, steep, rocky, hilly terrain, dust, heat, and smoky conditions. As a result, by entering into this agreement, the contractor agrees that what is considered wear and tear under this agreement is in excess of what the resource is subjected to under normal operations and is reflected in the rates paid for the resource.

B.3 -- BASIS OF AWARD

(a) The Government will award a sufficient number of I-BPAs anticipated to meet incident resource needs resulting from this solicitation to responsible quoters whose quotes, conforming to the solicitation, will be advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The number of I-BPAs awarded will be determined based upon historical usage and other relevant data such as predictive services information, available personnel to administer agreements, etc.

(b) The following factors shall be used to evaluate quotes:

(1) operational acceptability of equipment/resource offered to meet the Government requirement

(2) price reasonableness

(3) past performance dependability risk

(c) A quote will be considered operationally acceptable if the offered resource meets the minimum requirements stated in the specifications.

(d) Price reasonableness may be based upon competition, government estimates, commercial pricing, historical data, etc.; generally, reasonable pricing that is low will result in higher dispatch priority.

(e) Past performance dependability risk will be assessed as high, low, or unknown (high indicating significant probability for poor future performance) based upon customer satisfaction as reflected in evaluations received for the quoter on incidents and other related experience within the past 36 months, compliance with Federal, state and local laws and regulations, and quoter's history of reasonable and cooperative behavior.

Pursuant to FAR 42.1501 the contractor's record of integrity and business ethics, and generally, the contractor's business-like concern for the interest of the customer will be a consideration of past performance.

(f) I-BPAs will be awarded only to quoters with:

(1) reasonably priced resources

(2) operationally acceptable resources

(3) a low or unknown performance risk

(g) The notice of award will be electronically mailed to the contractor's email address as provided in their submission.

(h) In the event two or more low bids are equal in all respects, contracts shall be awarded pursuant to FAR 14.408-6.
