The government will place individual Task Orders (TO) for each CLIN which will identify the Hurricane Exercise (HURREX) Training, and if required, based on evacuation of MCRDPI due to trajectory of an impending hurricane, the government will place a separate TO under corresponding CLIN for Hurricane Evacuation. The contract may require up to two (2) evacuation trips per year.

The ordering period for this contract is estimated March 2026 through March 2028. At no time shall the contractor deviate from the above schedule without written approval from the contracting officer.

(4) hours and not to exceed eight (8) hours.

The buses will arrive, stage, and depart the boarding area in the same manner as an actual emergency evacuation.

Support Personnel will be given a tour of the base, staging areas, and integrate into the Depot Movement Control Center (DMCC) for the conduct of training exercise.
