Contractors must provide all personnel, equipment, and supplies, with personnel required to have proper qualifications including red card firefighter certification or equivalent NWCG burn boss certification. The evaluation criteria include Technical Capability (40%), Past Performance (40%), and Price (20%), with technical capability assessed on experience burning vegetation, particularly river floodplain and heavy fuel loads.
