B.1 -- 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) The Blanket Purchase Agreements resulting from this Request for Quote (RFQ) may be used by multiple State and Federal wildland fire agencies.

B.2 -- PRICING AND ESTIMATED QUANTITY

(a) This solicitation will result in multiple agreements. The dollar limitation for any individual order is $150,000.00. 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. As required by the agreement, any costs associated with a contractor provided support truck for fuel, maintenance, and operator transportation; delivery/setup/takedown, mobilization/demobilization, power generation, and a Contractors representative attendance at the operational period briefings should also be included.

Contractors shall comply with the 2:1 work/rest ratio as outlined in the Interagency Incident Business Management Handbook (Work/Rest Guidelines). When working an average of more than 16 hours, for the duration of the incident, a Contractor may request to negotiate an equitable adjustment through the Procurement Unit Leader or Contracting Officer. Shifts exceeding 16 hours shall be approved by the Incident Commander.

(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
