Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) National Center for Explosives Training and Research (NCETR Statement of Work Emergency Ambulance/Medic Services

1.0 GENERAL

1.1 BACKGROUND

The National Center for Explosives Training and Research (NCETR) is located on Redstone Arsenal, Huntsville, AL. (Madison County). NCETR develops and facilitates the delivery of basic and advanced explosives training courses for ATF personnel, U.S.

and international law enforcement partners, the U.S. Military, and other Federal Agencies. Explosives training programs that occur regularly at NCETR's range facilities are Explosives Specialist Certification and Recertification (ESCR), Advanced Explosives Disposal Techniques (AEDT), Post Blast Investigation Techniques (PBIT), the Military Post Blast School (MPBIT), ATF Investigator Program (ATFIP), Advanced Explosives Training for Industry Investigators, Explosives Recognition & IED Exploitation for Intel Analysts, and the Homemade Explosives School (HME). The NCETR facility maintains proprietary control of approximately 1,000 acres that is comprised of one (1) burn complex and seven (7) explosive range complexes. These burn cells and ranges possess assets that are a unique resource in the fight against arson/explosive-related violent crime and counter-improvised explosives device effort.

NCETR operates these training ranges utilizing live explosives (containing unstable chemical compounds) in a potentially dangerous environment. Because accident prevention cannot be guaranteed, additional safety measures are promoted to mitigate injurious events. Therefore, the need for immediate medical attention should an accident occur is paramount in the successful treatment of any explosive related injuries.

The primary safety method is to have certified emergency medical personnel with emergency transport capabilities on site during all live-fire training operations or demonstrations. As such, NCETR mandates that on-site emergency support is present during these exercises. This emergency support consists of an ambulance with one (1) emergency medical technician and one (1) paramedic trained to address injuries and perform immediate transport to an emergency trauma center.

1.2 SCOPE

ATF seeks a licensed emergency medical transport service contractor to coordinate with NCETR's training schedule in supplying one ambulance with emergency equipment, one certified emergency medical technician (EMT), who will also act as the ambulance driver, and one paramedic. The ambulance, EMT and Paramedic constitute one medical unit to be available exclusively for implementing medical services and, if necessary, conduct immediate transport to a local emergency trauma center.
