FSH 5109.34 – INTERAGENCY INCIDENT BUSINESS MANAGEMENT HANDBOOK

CHAPTER 20 – ACQUISITION

20.01-1 - Delegations of Procurement Authority Ratification of unauthorized commitments is agency specific. Forest Service and BLM ratification authority is limited to the chief of the Contracting Office. Federal procurement officers who receive assignments to incidents may sign up and administer agreements under their own authority, as well as assist in administering the terms and conditions of Emergency Equipment Rental Agreements (EERA), OF-294, signed by other procurement officials. Changes or modifications to EERAs shall be made by the procurement official signing the original EERA.

24 - ACQUISITION METHODS

24.1 - Purchase Cards and Convenience Checks In accordance with agency procedures, direction should be given regarding use of purchase cards and convenience checks. Agencies are authorized to restrict or limit use. In cases where it is anticipated the primary payment process will be administrative payment teams (APT), the use of purchase cards and convenience checks should be reduced to limit the potential of duplicate payments.

24.2 - Land and Facility Rental Agreements The rental of bare land for fire purposes requires the same degree of good business judgment, including reasonable price determinations, as any other procurement action. In making the determinations, as to price fairness, consideration should be given, but not limited to, the following items: Fair market rental rates for land in the area; costs to the landowner, such as moving of stock, loss of rental fees from other sources, disruption; alterations needed and who will make them; impacts on the land, costs of restoration, and who will do the restoration work; duration of rental, (emphasis should be on weekly or monthly rates), with a limit on total costs. Real estate firms and/or the USDA Forest Service Regional office-leasing specialist may be able to assist in determining local rental rates. Other considerations require good judgment and the prudent exercise of negotiation techniques. Need to identify when the month begins and when it ends, such as, 7/15-8/13, or 30 days.


5109.34_20 of 90


CHAPTER 20 – ACQUISITION A joint pre- and post-inspection shall be made of the premises. Such inspection shall note all improvements and their condition, including items such as fences, buildings, wells, crops, and road conditions.

24.3-2 - General Guidelines for Equipment Hire

1. Laws, Regulations, and Guidelines

a. Service Contract Act (SCA) Wage Determination. Federal agencies shall apply the SCA to all rentals wherein service employees are used, except for owner/operators. Contractors are responsible for paying these rates.

The Procurement Unit Leader shall post copies of the applicable Wage Determination Service Contract Act and Fair Labor Standards Act posters in a public location at each fire camp.

b. Operator Hour Limitations. Operator assignments should be on a scheduled rotation for each operational period if the equipment is working 24 hours per day. When equipment is used less than 24 hours per day and only one operator is provided, the operator's schedule shall be based on an operational period allowing a minimum of 8 hours off duty between operational periods. (All Work/Rest Guidelines in this handbook, Section 12.7-1, shall apply).

c. Licensing Requirements. All private sector operators shall have a valid license for the equipment operated. For equipment requiring a Commercial Drivers License (CDL), they are classified in two ways (1) by Class and (2) by Type. See Section 28, Exhibit 18, in this supplement.

d. Department of Transportation (DOT)

All commercial motor vehicles must be licensed for interstate travel. Commercial motor vehicles as described by Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulation 390.5 below:

Commercial motor vehicle means any self-propelled or towed motor vehicle used on a highway in interstate commerce to transport passengers or property when the vehicle-


5109.34_20 of 90



(1) Has a gross vehicle weight rating or gross combination weight rating, or gross vehicle weight or gross combination weight, of 4,536 kg (10,001 pounds) or more, whichever is greater; or

(2) Is designed or used to transport more than 8 passengers (including the driver) for compensation; or

(3) Is designed or used to transport more than 15 passengers, including the driver, and is not used to transport passengers for compensation; or

(4) Is used in transporting material found by the Secretary of Transportation to be hazardous under 49 U.S.C. 5103 and transported in a quantity requiring placarding under regulations prescribed by the Secretary under 49 CFR, subtitle B, chapter I, subchapter C.

In addition all commercial motor vehicles must meet all DOT requirements found in 49 CFR 390 through 396. Please refer to website: www.fmcsa.dot.gov

e. Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW)/Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR). Equipment, which by law requires an operator to possess a driver’s license to operate on a public highway, shall be licensed. The GVW shall not exceed the weight of the manufacturer’s GVWR.

Contractor shall abide by GVW/GVWR Requirements.

All equipment shall be within the limits of the manufacturer's GVWR when fully loaded (including operators and accessory equipment). This includes balancing the load in a manner that all axle weights comply with the manufacturer's gross axle weight rating. Equipment shall be configured in a manner that the center of gravity, to the vehicle, is within the design limits of the equipment.

Preseason sign up for engines, water tenders and water trucks, require the unit to be fully loaded at the time of inspection, with the contractor providing loaded weight tickets from a certified


5109.34_20 of 90



scale. The government reserves the right to reweigh the vehicle at any time.

f. Insurance Requirements. All Commercial vehicles must meet the insurance requirements found in 49 CFR 387.7

g. Work Rates. For equipment not shown in this supplement the rates shall be negotiated taking into consideration wages (if hired fully operated), depreciation, taxes, storage, insurance, overhead, and profit. Local customary rates shall also be considered.

h. Daily Rates. See NRCG Supplemental Provisions to EERAs, Clause 7, (Exhibit 17).

i. Fully Operated Rate. The fully operated rates are based on the following formula: 8 hours times the applicable SCA rate plus 6 hours times 1.5 times the SCA rate plus 8 hours times the fringe benefit rate, then times by an assumed 35% payroll burden. Equipment can be hired “wet” (contractor provides fuel and operating supplies) or “dry”(government provides fuel and operating supplies) as defined in the General Clauses of the EERA.

j. Unoperated Rate. The unoperated rates are based on a government –provided operator. If the Government provides operating supplies, downward adjustment to the daily rate needs to be made for the cost of the operating supplies.

k. Operating Supplies. As noted on the agreement, operating supplies are provided either by the government or the contractor. When it is the government's responsibility to provide these supplies, but the contractor supplies them, reimbursement shall be made by the government. Use Block 27, Emergency Equipment Use Invoice, OF- 286 to make this reimbursement. When the reverse is true and the government provides supplies that should be furnished by the contractor, a deduction for the value of the supplies shall be taken in Block 26 of the invoice. Documentation of reimbursements and deductions shall be attached to the OF-286.


5109.34_20 of 90



l. Special Provisions. Due to laws, regulations or unique needs there are special provisions specified to be included in agreements, Section 28, Exhibit 17, sets forth all the NRCG required special provisions. Each agreement shall incorporate the special provisions by entering the following statement in Block 14 of the EERA: "NRCG Supplemental Terms and Conditions to the General Clauses of the Emergency Equipment Rental Agreement, OF-294 is attached and incorporated herein." As necessary, procurement officials may include additional special provisions in agreements.

m. Repair Rates. Reference Item 5, General Provisions of the EERA. The rate to be assessed for government-provided repairs shall be $36 per hour plus parts. Repair times shall be computed to the nearest half hour.

n. Use of Government License Plates. Federal agencies may provide government license plates and credit cards for vehicles rented from commercial dealerships.

o. Work Rest Length of Assignment Guidelines. See NRCG Supplemental Terms and Conditions, Exhibit 17.

24.3-3 - Preferred Hiring Methods The following describes requirements and summarizes the established rates for equipment rented within the Northern Rockies Geographic Area. The rates are fair and reasonable for equipment that is reasonably new and in good operating condition and meet all of the Chapter 20 requirements. The rates reflect the equipment will be engaged in fighting forest fires under adverse working conditions, driven on both improved and unimproved roads, and will probably require operators to work overtime. The rates are mandatory and may only be adjusted as follows:

• Rates should be adjusted downward when equipment fails to provide the basic configuration required for each equipment type listed, or is excessively old and will not perform up to the standards of newer equipment in terms of quality operating time or production capability. The equipment shall meet the requirements of the OF-296 Vehicle/Heavy Equipment Safety


5109.34_20 of 90



Inspection Checklist. This equipment should only be used until Chapter 20 compliant equipment becomes available.

• Rates should be adjusted upwards to reflect the contractor's actual payroll cost, when a contractor demonstrates a long-term history of paying wages exceeding the established SCA wage determination for the period (example: payroll records for past 12 months).

• Rates may be exceeded (within agency authority) on a case-by-case basis to reflect equipment that is unique in operating capability or cannot be obtained without a higher rate.

Note: For Forest Service agreements, rates exceeding the established rates shall be negotiated by a GS-1102-11, Level 1C or higher.

If the equipment is ordered without operator, reduce the fully operated daily rate one operational period, by $434; reduce fully operated, daily rate two operational periods, by $744.

**Suggested formula for daily rates for equipment not listed above. Use the fully operated daily rate a skidder and subtract the operator rate of $434. Using this number as a base price, add 5 percent per 100 gallons of tank capacity and 15 percent for fittings, pump, reel, hose and certifying. Add the three amounts together and add back the operator rate. Divide this number by 14 to get an hourly rate, round this number and multiply by 14 to get the fully operated daily rate. The second operational period is the hourly rate times 24 hours.

S4 unoperated rate = $1,274 x 0.20 = $254.80 round to $255 (tank size) S4 unoperated rate = $1,274 x 0.15 = $191.10 round to $191 (fittings)

Add $1,274+ 255 + 191 = $1,720 add back operator wages of $434 = $2,154 Divide by 14 hours = $153.83 round too $154 x 14 hours = $2,156 daily rate Multiply $154 x 24 hours = $3,696 daily rate for two operational periods

If the equipment is ordered without operator, reduce the fully operated daily rate, one operational period, by $434; reduce fully operated, daily rate, two operational periods, by $744 **Suggested formula for daily rates: Use the fully operated daily rate for a dozer and subtract the operator rate of $434. Using this number as a base price add 5 percent per 100 gallons of tank capacity and 15 percent for fittings, pump, reel, hose and certifying. Add the three amounts together and add back the operator rate. Divide this number by 14 to get an hourly rate, round this number and multiply by 14 to get the fully operated daily rate. The second operational period is the hourly rate times 24 hours. See Skidgine example formula. Pumper Cats are “hard track” machines or units built from traditional dozers; “soft track” machines, such as FMC or KMC, are still a negotiated rate.

5109.34_20 of 90


CHAPTER 20 – ACQUISITION When dealing with national rental companies, ensure the vendor understands the vehicles will also be used off-road. For that reason, the preferred method of hiring vehicles is on the EERA form. The purchase card may also be used. If the purchase card is used the card holder shall consider: (1) how the vehicles will be closed out at the end of the card holder’s assignment, (2) use is for ALL Government Employees, and (3) a process for claim settlement that may result from the rental.

Under the U.S. Government Car Rental Agreement, use of vehicles off-road (paved surfaces) must be agreed to, in writing, beforehand with the company. A copy of the U.S. Government Car Rental Agreement may be obtained from the following new website:

www.mtmc.army.mil/frontdoor Vehicles should be rented at rates not to exceed those charged the public and should show both daily and weekly rates. It is recommended the procurement officer to determine ownership review the vehicle registration. Equipment shall be equipped with spare tire, wheel wrench, jack, reflectors and fire extinguisher. Vehicles shall be in good condition and meet all state and local laws for operation on public roads. Vehicle cleanup after use should be addressed at the time of sign-up. The government has the option of cleaning the vehicles before final inspection, or providing compensation to the vendor for cleanup. The preferred method of cleanup is for the government to provide this service allowing for a better inspection process. Standard method of hire: Unoperated, daily rate plus unoperated mileage rate. The government provides operating supplies (see Clause 4 of EERA General Clauses).

Buses.

a. Buses for Hire. For buses hired under an EERA, the office (hiring unit) initiating and approving the EERA shall be responsible for processing the payments. The procurement officer is responsible for instructing the contractor on proper procedures and signatures to be maintained and returned to the hiring unit for payment.

Ordering of all buses in the Northern Rockies shall be through the dispatch/resource ordering process to initiate a tracking system and facilitate the payment process. Ordering offices shall not go directly to bus contractors except when the ordering office and hiring office are the same.

Contractors/operators shall not exceed duty limitation hours set forth in Chapter 10, Section 12.7-1, 2 of the IIBMH. The government may provide lodging and meals in cases when the operator cannot return to a government facility. Meals and lodging shall not exceed the government per diem rate.

b. School-Type Buses, Class B1. Buses may be rented several different ways including fully operated or unoperated and with or without government-furnished items. The elements of cost, liability, and bus availability may vary depending on the method


5109.34_20 of 90



used. The rental method chosen should be selected that will best meet agency needs at the lowest overall cost.

The preferred method of procuring buses is fully operated. Because of vendor limitations, it may be necessary to hire the bus unoperated with the government providing the operator. When the bus is hired fully operated the contractor is responsible for meeting all state laws for the state(s) in which the bus will operate, including insurance coverage. All buses shall meet the insurance requirements of Department of Transportation (DOT) Regulation CFR 49 Part 387.33, which specifies a minimum $5,000,000 insurance coverage.

c. Contracting for School-Type Bus Services.

(1) All buses will have a date of manufacture January 1, 1977, or later. (2) The DOT and state law governs operator licensing. Each operator will have the appropriate Commercial Drivers License (CDL). (3) All buses shall have proof of current safety inspection.

You can check on the internet to see if a contractor has a current safety rating. You can find the information on the following website: http://www.safersys.org and then click on "SAFER Database Queries"

(4) All buses shall have the capability to safely transport personnel, packs and hand tools either internally or externally. The internal or external transport space must meet Federal Motor Carrier – Safety Regulations 392.62 (c) 1,2,3 Safe Operations. If the contractor chooses to provide a “chase vehicle” to transport packs/tools, it shall be at no cost or liability to the government. If the government is required to provide a “chase vehicle” to carry packs/tools because the bus cannot transport them, $150/day will be deducted from the contractor’s invoice.

Please see Northern Rockies Mobilization Guide for number of hours Personnel may be transported in a School Bus.


5109.34_20 of 90



d. Basis and Amount of Payment. Payment is based on mileage rate or guarantee, whichever is greater. The contracting unit initiating the EERA is designated as the payment office to process all payments to the contractor.

e. Standard Method of Hire. Mileage rate with guarantee (based on 250 miles), fully operated, one operator, no second operator will be allowed

Transports.

The term "transport" includes a truck tractor with trailer(s). Trailers may be an enclosed van, flatbed, or lowboy-type for hauling heavy equipment.

When transporting between tariff locations by a licensed common carrier, shipments and payment should be according to the appropriate established tariff. Federal agencies should use a Commercial Bill of Lading (CBL) for shipments of this type.

When required by state law, the government upon presentation of invoice or receipt will reimburse the cost for pilot vehicles and overload permits. Contractors are responsible for meeting all state requirements, such as weight restrictions and hauling permits.
