VIPR I-BPA for Incident Base Unit for Region 5 - Pacific Southwest Region ONLY

Amendment 0001: Is being issued to incorporate the following Payment Exception language into this Solicitation in addition to all payment exceptions listed within D.21.8.3 of this Solicitation. PAYMENT EXCEPTION (a) No further payment will accrue during any period under hire that an individual piece of equipment in the IBU (as listed in paragraph (b) of this section) is not in a safe or operable condition or is not available for the assigned shift or portions of the assigned shift. Payment deduction will be based on the hours (assigned shift is 24-hours for unoperated equipment) the individual piece of equipment (listed in paragraph (b) of this section) in the IBU was inoperable during the assigned shift, as documented on the shift ticket or commercial invoice. (b) For calculation of inoperable equipment deductions, hourly rates for the individual resources that make up the IBU shall be calculated as a percentage of the daily rate as follows: -Office Trailer; 40% of daily rate -Tents; 10% of daily rate -Generators/Portable Power Systems; 5% of daily rate/each -Handwash Station; 10% of daily rate -Stage and/or PA System; 5% of daily rate -Light Towers; 7.5% of daily rate -Forklift; 7.5% of daily rate -Refer; 15% of daily rate (c) For a IBU component that is unavailable or not in safe and/or operable condition; determine the percentage of the daily rate for the resource by using the following calculation: multiply daily rate by the percentage above in paragraph (b) by converting the percentage into a decimal number, (i.e. 40% is converted to 0.40). Divide this number by the designated shift or 16-hours if no designated shift was established for operated equipment. For unoperated equipment, designated shift shall be based on 24-hours to determine the hourly rate for an operational shift. Divide the resources hourly rate by the exact quantity requirement of that resource as listed within section D.2.1.1 or D.2.1.2 of this solicitation to determine the hourly breakdown rate per item for that category. Payment deduction amount equals the total of this hourly rate multiplied by the number of hours the resource was inoperable. If no resource quantity is identified (i.e. Generators/Portable Power Systems) in D.2.1.1 or D.2.1.2 of this solicitation, the inoperable payment deduction amount for resource hours will be calculated using: daily rate multiplied by the daily rate percentage above in paragraph (b), divided by 24-hours, multiplied by the number of breakdown hours, resulting in the total payment deduction amount for each inoperable Generator/Portable power system. For Example: Per the operating shift on 08/31/XX (date), 1 (resource quantity) Type 1 Tent (resource) was inoperable for 6 (hours) from: 0700 ? 1300. $19,000 (Daily Rate) x .10 (Percent of Daily Rate above in paragraph (b)) = $1,900/24 (Hours in shift) = $79.17 (hourly rate for shift) /4 (number of resource items identified within section D.2.1.1 (Type 1) or D.2.1.2 (Type 2) IBU Units) = $19.79 x 6 (inoperable hours) = $118.76 (total deduction amount). Generator/Portable Power Systems Example: Per the operating shift on 08/31/XX (date), 1 (resource quantity) Generator (resource) was inoperable for 6 (hours) from: 0700 ? 1300. $19,000 (Daily Rate) x .05 (Percent of Daily Rate above in paragraph (b)) = $950/24 (Hours in shift) = $39.58 (hourly rate for shift) x 6 (inoperable hours) = $237.50 (Total deduction amount). (d) All other resources in the IBU are paid the full share of the total Daily Rate for that resource with the following exception: (i) If the resource that is not operable causes another resource in the IBU to become inoperable, that resource must also be converted to an hourly rate and paid only for the hours it was operable. (e) If the resource cannot be repaired, the Government may, at its discretion, allow the vendor to replace the resource with an equal or better piece of replacement equipment in order to make the IBU whole.
