R4 Prescribed Fire Training Support (workshops, refreshers, prescribed fire reviews)

General Information

1.0 Background and Purpose

The Intermountain Region of the USFS (R4) requires a contractor(s) to assist the Fuels Program in all aspects of prescribed fire trainings. Some tasks include: plan and instruct training, provide hands on field experience, provide facility and training site logistical support, work with host sites on presentation/training needs, develop custom educational presentations utilizing the latest technology, develop fuels treatment staff rides, review burn plans and associated documents for national policy compliance, document course delivery process, develop job aids for fuels staff and line officers, electronically archive course delivery documentation, serve on facilitated learning analysis teams, one-on-one mentoring in prescribed fire, participate in prescribed fire program reviews, and create field exercises specifically targeted to employees working in the fuels management arena including agency administrators. The contractor shall work in coordination with R4 and/or federal and state partner agencies to deliver these services. The intent of the mentoring and other educational presentations is to improve awareness and provide operational education to fire professionals, agency administrators, and resource specialists who are responsible for planning and implementing fuels treatments on their unit(s).

Topics and requirements will vary depending on task requirements and may include: current prescribed fire and mechanical treatment issues, hazards and safety issues, agency liability, personal liability, escaped prescribed fires, interagency policy, implementation planning, reviewing prescribed fire plans, key elements of successful prescribed fire programs, aerial ignition, prescribed fire in Wilderness Areas, Indigenous fire practices, effective communication, human factors, partnerships and collaboration, integration, agreements, smoke management, decision making, and effective program monitoring.

The contractor(s) will also serve as National Wildfire Coordinating Group (NWCG) qualified and an approved escort on active prescribed fire implementations for attendees that are not fireline qualified. The contractor(s) will assist R4 personnel in preparation and presentation of instructional material, coordinator of logistical arrangements, reserving conference rooms, contacting selected students prior to the workshop or training, and other duties as required. Services within this requirement are considered non-personal services.
