Additionally, the amendment adds an exhibit outlining infectious disease mitigation procedures for contractor personnel and aircraft. Offerors must coordinate in advance with the contracting officer if physically delivering proposals due to limited facility access.

EXHIBIT 23 – INFECTIOUS DISEASE MITIGATION PROCEDURES

1) Infectious Disease Actions and Mitigations

a) Each contractor and their personnel shall adhere to applicable portions of CDC, FAA, aircraft manufacturer recommendations in addressing actions and mitigations related to infectious diseases. The Forest Service requires that companies review and update their personal protection policies and communicate and train employees on all aspects of the plan. This includes the following measures to protect themselves and others:

i) Practice routine hand washing. Wash hands often with soap and water for at least

20 seconds, particularly after assisting anyone sick or touching potentially contaminated body fluids or surfaces; after coughing, sneezing, or blowing your nose; after using the restroom.

ii) Use alcohol-based hand sanitizer (containing at least 60% alcohol) if soap and water are not available. Contractors should consider providing alcohol-based hand sanitizer to crews for their personal use.

iii) If an employee becomes sick or has had a high-risk exposure to infectious diseases

(COVID-19, Flu, H1N1, SARS, MERS, Etc.) immediately report those situations to the Contracting Officer Representative (COR) and Contracting Officer assigned to your USDA Forest Service contract.

b) To reduce the risk of transfer of virus from an infected person to others via surfaces or inanimate objects on the aircraft, aircraft operators and ground handling personnel shall develop and implement a plan to disinfect aircraft prior to inspection, and during use. This plan should also include disinfecting after carrying an infected person. The plan needs to take into account the unusual features of the aircraft and cabin area. Considering that it may be difficult to identify an aircraft carrying an infected person, the focus should be on the assumption that all aircraft are periodically occupied by infected persons and therefore require routine and frequent disinfection in accordance with the contractor’s plan. Submit your plan to the CO within 10 days of implementation of this modification.

c) If certain events occur (e.g. employee or government personnel with a fever, cough, or difficulty breathing) these individuals shall not be allowed on mission flights and need to contact their employer / supervisor to report their condition.
