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 EERA’s 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.
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.

CHAPTER 20 – ACQUISITION
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, Chapter 10, Section 12.7-1 and 12.7-1.a, 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(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. The contractor may be
responsible for providing certification from a professional mechanical engineer or
other expert in the field of design engineering, establishing the fact the design limits
of the equipment has not been compromised
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 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

CHAPTER 20 – ACQUISITION
“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.
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. Work Rest Length of Assignment Guidelines. Chapter 10, Section 12.7-2 of this
handbook shall apply.
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:

FSH 5109.34 – INTERAGENCY INCIDENT BUSINESS MANAGEMENT HANDBOOK
CHAPTER 20 – ACQUISITION

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 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.

Rates were determined by using a standardized national formula. It is based on
commercial rates, with variables in geographic areas and labor costs.

Note: For Forest Service agreements, rates exceeding the established rates shall be
negotiated by a GS-1102-11, Level 1C or higher.

Sedans/Passenger Vans/Pickups/Utility Vehicles/Trucks.
Consideration should be given to weekly or monthly rates when determined to be more
economical. See IIBMH, Chapter 10, and Section 17.1-4, for more information on car rental.
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.
There are two standard method of hire:


Unoperated, daily rate plus mileage rate. The government provides operating supplies
Fully Operated, daily rate plus mileage rate. The government provides operating supplies

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 sending to the appropriate Agency payment
center.
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 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.

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. Buses shall not transport
flammable/combustible liquids, such as chainsaw gas, internally or externally, a chase
vehicle for these items will be provided by the Government.
Please see Northern Rockies Mobilization Guide for number of hours Personnel
may be transported in a School Bus.

CHAPTER 20 – ACQUISITION
28 - Exhibit 16
The following clauses shall be applied to the administration and enforcement of EERA’s
issues within the Northern Rockies Geographical Area.
GENERAL CLAUSES TO EMERGENCY EQUIPMENT RENTAL
AGREEMENT FORM OF-294 (11-30-2004)
Since the equipment needs of the Government and availability of Contractor's equipment during
an emergency cannot be determined in advance, it is mutually agreed that, upon request of the
Government, the Contractor shall furnish the equipment listed herein to the extent the Contractor
is willing and able at the time of order. The following personnel are authorized to place orders
against this agreement, Dispatchers, Buying Team Members, Finance Section Chiefs,
Procurement Unit Leaders, Contracting Officers and Purchasing Agents. At time of dispatch, a
resource order number will be assigned. The Contractor shall furnish the assigned resource order
number upon arrival and check in at the incident. The Incident Commander or responsible
Government Representative is authorized to administer the technical aspects of this agreement.
Equipment furnished under this agreement may be operated and subjected to extreme
environmental and/or strenuous operating conditions which could include but are not limited to
unimproved roads, steep, rocky, hilly terrain, dust, heat, and smokey conditions. As a result, by
entering into this agreement, the contractor agrees that what is considered wear and tear under
this agreement is in excess of what the equipment is subjected to under normal operations and is
reflected in the rates paid for the equipment. When such equipment is furnished to the
Government, the following clauses shall apply:
CLAUSE 1. Condition of Equipment - All equipment furnished under this agreement shall be in
acceptable condition. The Government reserves the right to reject equipment that is not in safe
and operable condition. The Government may allow the Contractor to correct deficiencies
within 24 hours. No payment for travel to an Incident or point of inspection, or return to the
point of hire, will be made for equipment that does not pass inspection. No payment will be
made for time that the equipment was not available.
CLAUSE 2. The time under hire shall start at the time the equipment begins traveling to the
incident after being ordered by the Government, and end at the estimated time of arrival back to
the point of hire after being released, except as provided in Clause 7 of these General Clauses.
CLAUSE 3. Operating Supplies - As identified in Block 7, operating supplies include fuel, oil,
filters, lube/oil changes. Even though Block 7 may specify that all operating supplies are to be
furnished by the Contractor (wet), the Government may, at its option, elect to furnish such
supplies when necessary to keep the equipment operating. The cost of such supplies will be
determined by the Government and deducted from payment to the Contractor.

CHAPTER 20 – ACQUISITION
CLAUSE 4. Repairs - Repairs to equipment shall be made and paid for by the Contractor. The
Government may, at its option, elect to make such repairs when necessary to keep the equipment
operating. The cost of such repairs will be determined by the Government and deducted from
payment to the contractor.
CLAUSE 5. Timekeeping - Time will be verified and approved by the Government Agent
responsible for ordering and/or directing use of each piece of equipment. Time will be recorded
to the nearest quarter hour worked for daily/hourly rate, or whole mile for mileage.
CLAUSE 6. Payments
a. Rates of Payments - Rates for equipment hired with Contractor Furnished operator(s) shall
include all operator(s) expenses. Payment will be at rates specified and, except as provided in
Clause 7, shall be in accordance with the following:
1. Work Rates (column 11) (hourly or mileage) shall apply when equipment is under hire
as ordered by the Government and on shift, including relocation of equipment under its own
power.
ON-SHIFT: Includes time worked, time that equipment is held or directed to be in a state
of readiness, and compassable travel (equipment traveling under its own power) that has a
specific start and ending time.
2. Special Rates (column 12) shall apply when specified.
3. Guarantee. For each calendar day that equipment is under hire for at least 8 hours, the
Government will pay not less than the amount shown in column 13. If equipment is under
hire for less than 8 hours during a calendar day, the amount earned for that day will be not
less than one-half the amount specified in column 13. The guarantee is not applicable to
equipment hired under the Daily rate. Equipment under transport is time under hire and
compensated through the Guarantee. If equipment is transported under its own power, it is
compensated under the Work rate.
4. Daily Rate (column 11) - Payment will be made on basis of calendar days (0001 – 2400).
For fractional days at the beginning and ending of time under hire, payment will be based on
50 percent of the Daily Rate for periods less than 8 hours. Under the daily rate equipment
may be staffed with or without operator.
(a) Shift Basis (Portion of calendar day)
1) Single Shift - (SS) is staffed with one operator or one crew
2) Double Shift - (DS) is staffed with two operators or two crews (one per shift). The
DS rate will apply any calendar day the DS was under hire, including travel. There
will be no compensation for a double shift unless a separate operator(s) and or
crew(s) is/are ordered in writing for the second shift.
3) Agency personnel at the Section Chief Level may, by resource order, authorize a
second operator or crew (Double Shift), if needed during the assignment.

CHAPTER 20 – ACQUISITION
b. Method of Payment. Lump-sum payment will normally be processed at the end of the
emergency assignment. However, partial payment may be authorized as approved by the
incident agency. Payment for each calendar day will be made for (1) actual units ordered and
performed under Work or Daily, shift basis and/or Special rates or (2) the guarantee earned,
whichever is the greater amount.
CLAUSE 7. Exceptions
a. Daily Rate or Guarantee - No further payment under Clause 6 will accrue during any period
that equipment under hire is not in a safe or operable condition or when Contractor furnished
operator(s) is not available for the assigned shift or portions of the assigned shift. Payment will
be based on the hours the equipment was operational during the assigned shift, as documented on
the shift ticket versus the designated shift, as shown on the Incident Action Plan.
b. If the Contractor withdraws equipment and/or operator(s) prior to being released by the
Government, no further payment under Clause 6 shall accrue and the Contractor shall bear all
costs of returning equipment and/or operator(s) to the point of hire.
c. After inspection and acceptance for use, equipment and/or furnished operator(s) that cannot
be replaced or equipment that cannot be repaired at the site of work by the Contractor or by the
Government in accordance with Clause 4, within 24 hours, may be considered as being
withdrawn by the Contractor in accordance with Paragraph B above, except that the Government
will bear all costs of returning equipment and/or operator(s) to the point of hire as promptly as
emergency conditions will allow.
d. No payment will accrue under Clause 6 when the contractor is off shift in compliance with
the mandatory “Work/Rest” and “Length of Commitment” provisions. As an option to rotating
personnel, or taking a mandatory day off, without pay, the contractor may be released from the
incident.
CLAUSE 8. When Government subsistence incident camps are available, meals and bedding
for Contractor's operator(s) will be furnished without charge. Government will furnish meals
and lodging without cost if hotel/restaurant subsistence is the approved camp for incident
personnel. Double occupancy of hotel rooms may be required. Contractors are not paid per
diem or lodging expenses to and from incidents.
CLAUSE 9. Loss, Damage, or Destruction (a) For equipment furnished under this EERA without operator, the Government will assume
liability for any loss, damage or destruction of such equipment, except that no reimbursement
will be made for loss, damage or destruction due to (1) ordinary wear or tear, (2) mechanical
