Q1. Could you provide the last two years’ call out volume broken down by counties or field divisions?
A1. Two Year Period

• DFD 85 requests for Confined Space Rescue Services
• SLFD 71 requests for Confined Space Rescue Services
Q2. Could you provide a call out volume for jobs lasting more than 15 consecutive days for the last two years? Example: Outages
A2. Jobs lasting more than 15 consecutive days:

SLFD had one job that went 3 1/2 months, day and night shift, 12-hour shifts, 6 days a week.
• SLFD had one job that went one month, day and night shift, 12-hours shifts, 6 days a week.
Q3. Are prevailing wage rates required for this bid?
A3. No.
Q4. Can you clarify if this project contains public funding, and if so, would it be subject to prevailing wage.
a. Prevailing wage requires double pay rate on Saturday and Sunday in the north. If this will be considered a prevailing wage project, we are obligated to follow prevailing wage regulations and pay double the time vs 1.5 time on Saturday.
b. Currently, DWR South is considered a prevailing wage contract, and a DIR number has been assigned. Will DWR North follow suit?
