General Information

The Government intends to establish one or more Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPA) for “Call-When-Needed” Equipment Rental on the Flathead National Forest located in Kalispell, Montana. Any resultant BPA(s) will be three (3) years in duration – date of award through March 31, 2016. This procurement is 100% set-aside for HubZone Small Business Concerns.

A BPA is a vehicle that an ordering activity can use to facilitate the acquisition of recurring needs for services or supplies. A BPA is not a contract, and although it establishes the terms applicable to the placement of future orders (BPA Calls), it does not obligate funds. When the need becomes immediate, the ordering activity can then make the purchase by simply placing a BPA Call against the BPA. BPA’s do not state a minimum or maximum amount. Since it is not a contract, there are no guarantees that the Government will place any orders against it.

Hourly prices for equipment and move-in/move-out costs are not required at this time (see “BPA Call Solicitation and Selection”). See separate documented entitled “Provisions”, Submittals, for the requirements for submitting an offer.

Scope of Contract

The Contractor shall provide equipment on a fully-operated “Call-When-Needed” (CWN) basis.

All equipment shall be in good mechanical and operating condition and shall be operated by competent operators experienced in the type of work for which the equipment is being ordered.

The nature of work for call-when-needed equipment frequently demands quick mobilization and very timely work response to prevent resource damage. Unless otherwise agreed, equipment shall be delivered ready for operation within 48 hours after receipt of the BPA Call from the authorized agent.
