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.

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-

(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

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.

CHAPTER 20 – ACQUISITION
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

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-bycase 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

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.

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,

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.

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.
