 Equipment may not be unloaded immediately and the Contractor is responsible for all costs associated with the transport until the equipment is unloaded and the transport is released. The transport may be retained at the incident for the sole purpose of transporting the equipment that was originally ordered; the minimum daily guarantee will be paid until the transport is released.  Documentation must be provided when the transport is not released immediately; this must be documented on the shift ticket and in the Incident Action Plan. If there is no Incident Action Plan (i.e., smaller incidents) approval by the Incident Commander is acceptable. If the contractor elects to keep the transport at the incident location after it is released by the government, no payment will be made.  IF THE TRANSPORT IS RETAINED BY THE INCIDENT FOR TRANSPORTING OTHER EQUIPMENT, THE COMPANY OWNING THE TRANSPORT MUST HAVE AN EXISTING, OR AN AT-INCIDENT EERA, AND MUST BE ORDERED WITH A SEPARATE RESOURCE ORDER NUMBER. THE POINT OF HIRE WILL BE THE INCIDENT.
