Description

Alberta Agriculture and Forestry (AF) is responsible for managing wildfires within the forest protection area of Alberta. To support wildfire suppression efforts, the Province requires Incident Camps to be provided on an “as-needed” basis with no guarantees of work. Successful Proponents shall provide infrastructure to accommodate varying numbers of wildfire staff, as well as catering and janitorial services. Incident Camps may be required in any of the following forest areas as requested by the Province: Calgary, Rocky Mountain House, Edson, Whitecourt, Grande Prairie, Peace River, High Level, Slave Lake, Fort McMurray, and Lac La Biche. See the “Documents” section on the Alberta Purchasing Connection website for the forest protection area and forest area boundaries.

Incident Camps will be located in road accessible areas for undetermined lengths of time. It is common for the Province to require several Incident Camps at once in multiple locations throughout the province.

Proponents will be required to supply all infrastructure (e.g., trailers, utilities, etc.) staffing, supplies, etc. to operate and maintain an Incident Camp while adhering to all applicable legislation. Proponents will provide staff that are trained at their expense, to deliver the Services throughout the province, and will ensure their staff are equipped with all necessary personal protective equipment needed for their position and provide their staff with accommodations and meals.

Up to four (4) Contracts will be awarded with Services being requested using a call rotation list. The call rotation list will be established using the Proposal Evaluation Criteria of this RFP with the lowest priced Proposal in the first call position followed by the second, third, and fourth. Once deployed, the Province will move to the next Contractor on the call rotation list.

Contractors may be required to provide simultaneous Services at more than one (1) location within the province, depending on the severity of the fire season.
