FMO or the Fire Business Coordinator at 801-538-5413, if they need more information.

PRE-SEASON AND/OR EMERGENCY CONTRACTS

Equipment and/or services can be hired from local private vendors under our provisional delegation LPD 191. Contracts will be negotiated and signed by personnel delegated by the State FMO. Note: These contracts are in addition to Cooperator Rate Agreements and County or other State agency agreements (i.e. Utah Department of Transportation). All contracts executed by FFSL must be paid by FFSL regardless of incident jurisdiction.

FFSL contract templates for suppression equipment and services have been created and reviewed by DAS-Purchasing. These documents reference State Standard Terms and Conditions, typical scope of work and process for ordering and payment. Contract templates are updated annually before May 1st and can be found on the M:drive.

Rate determination on State Contracts may require review of regional Virtual Incident Procurement System (VIPER) contracts for similar equipment or may be found in the Great Basin supplement to SIIBM Chapter 20. Equipment rates solicited through VIPER contracts no longer have suggested rates listed in Chapter 20. VIPER contracts can be viewed at (https:// ffsl.link/vipr) - for QR code see 3.25 on page 139. Chapter 20 Great Basin supplement can be found at: (https://gacc.nifc.gov/gbcc/business.php) - for QR code see 3.26 on page 139.

FFSL pre-season agreements can be forwarded to your local dispatch office and FFSL State office. These preseason contracts will become part of a special area FFSL dispatch priority list (DPL) or resource list for state jurisdictional fires (see following DPL guidance).

FFSL will maintain a statewide master resource list and file for all FFSL contracts signed under the LPD 191 authority. The signed contracts will be reviewed annually for use and compliance.

DISPATCH PRIORITY AND RESOURCE LISTS (DPL) Agencies solicit for contracted resources based on their local and geographic area needs. Some contracted resource categories may or may not be on a DPL provided by the Forest Service (FS) or Bureau of Land Management (BLM), but on a DPL or resource list provided by another federal or state cooperator. Dispatch procedures for agreements awarded by cooperators may vary from Forest Service and BLM agreements based on the host agency policy and other determining factors. In geographic areas where this occurs, follow local and geographic area ordering procedures.
