(2) Exact location to designated site where the Contractor can meet a Government representative for escort or further instructions to the incident.

(3) Estimated time needed by the incident to provide shower services.

(4) Size of MSFU required. Large capacity shower units have a minimum of 12 showerheads and small capacity shower units have a minimum of 8 and a maximum of 11 showerheads.

(5) Name, title, and phone number of person to contact for further information.

(6) Name and title of Government representative to contact at the incident.

(b) Dispatch Procedures

(1) The Government has contracts with multiple vendors for Mobile Shower Facilities.

During periods of availability, the Government will utilize the Contractor whose DDP is the shortest route (mileage) to the incident as determined by using Google Maps® or Government determined mapping application when Google Maps® is inoperable, provided that the unit can meet the incident’s needs and required time frames.

(2) Contractor personnel and equipment are required to be physically located and available to perform services from each of their DDPs during the defined mandatory availability period (MAP). The DDP is the location where the unit must be physically located during the mandatory availability period, unless the Contractor has provided written notification to the CO and the NICC of its unavailability status. NICC is the only designated dispatch center authorized to place orders for all the National Mobile Shower Facility Units. NICC shall place orders against an overriding Delivery Order; issued by the CO at time of award.

(3) Outside the (MAP), priority consideration will be given to units physically located and available to perform services closest to the incident; provided that the unit can meet the incident’s needs and required time frames. The only two locations to be considered for dispatch outside of the availability dates are the DDP or the Company’s Headquarters.

Outside the availability dates, Contractors have the option of remaining at their DDP or returning to their Company’s Headquarters. Company’s Headquarters is defined as the company’s regular operating physical address (Block 15A on Standard Form 33).

Contractors are responsible for notifying the CO and the NICC, in writing, of availability status and locations outside of their mandatory availability period.

(4) The Government intends to dispatch resources in accordance with this procedure.

However, the number of fire orders in process and actual fire conditions at the time of dispatch may require a deviation from procedures stated in C.2 in order to respond effectively to such conditions. Any such deviation will be within the discretion of the Government, and will not be deemed a violation of any term or condition of this contract.

(5) When a Contractor agrees to a delivery schedule at the time the order is placed, the Contractor is required to perform in accordance with the agreed upon schedule documented on the Mobile Food and Shower Service Request Form. In addition, the Contractor is required to follow DOT regulations at all times.

(6) When a small capacity unit is ordered and there are no small units that can meet the incidents required time frames; NICC may use a large capacity unit to fill the order using the procedures in C.2, provided the large capacity unit can meet the incidents needs and required time frames.

(c) Release and/or Reassignment

(1) When the MSFU has been released from an incident, the unit may remain in the nearest town up to 24 hours in available status. After this time, it must return to the unit's DDP. Priority consideration for assignment will be given to the unit closest to the incident that is physically located at its DDP over other available units remaining in the nearest town or en-route; provided that the unit at its DDP can reasonably meet the date and time needed by the incident.

(2) When a MSFU is reassigned en-route, the Contractor is obligated to report to the reassigned incident.

(d) Need for Additional Mobile Shower Facility(s) at an Incident

If an additional MSFU is ordered for the same Incident camp site, dispatch priority will be based on the same procedures in Section C.2.

(e) Procedure for Canceling a Mobile Shower Facility

The Government reserves the right to cancel any order at any time. Payment for services rendered will be made in accordance with Section G - Contract Administration Data.

(1) Canceling a Mobile Shower Facility

Notice of cancellation will be provided to the Contractor from NICC.

(2) Priority for Releasing/Reassigning a Mobile Shower Facility

National Mobile Shower Facilities Contractors shall be released after all additional Non- National Mobile Shower Facilities Contractors have been released. NICC will be notified of the release of The National Mobile Shower Facilities Unit through established dispatch channels and the Contractor shall contact NICC to confirm status of release or reassignment. When there is more than one National MSFU at the same incident or complex of incidents, the FACL, LSC or Contracting Officers Representative (COR) will determine which National MSFU will be the first to be released based on design, capability, size, need, performance price and/or set-up location at the incident. The FACL, LSC or COR will forward documentation of this decision to the CO. At any time, the incident may determine to release and/or order a large or small MSFU that best meets the needs of the incident.

(f) Procedure for Relocating Mobile Shower Facilities Unit at an Incident

The Relocation Fee (in addition to mileage) is paid in the following cases:

(1) After a MSFU is on order and has arrived and completed the initial set-up at the incident; the Government may have a need to relocate the MSFU to another location within the same camp, or to a new, or different camp (in support of the same incident).

(2) When the original incident is or becomes incorporated into a complex and relocating the MSFU becomes necessary in support of that complex of incidents.

(3) Reduction in force resulting in reorganization within the incident or complex, but not demobilization. The relocation fee is paid when camps in a complex are collapsed and Mobile Shower Facility Units are relocated within that complex.

If a Unit is reassigned to another incident or demobilized, no relocation fee is paid.

(g) Procedure for Ordering Intermittent Use of Contractor's Potable Water Vehicle

After the Contractor has reached an incident and services have begun, the Government may order the Contractor's potable water vehicle on an intermittent basis for use other than transporting potable water to the shower unit; i.e., for providing support to Mobile Food Service Unit. Filling canteens and cubitainers is not considered intermittent use. Intermittent use of Contractor's potable water vehicle shall also include a Contractor furnished operator.
