3. Transports are ordered to an incident in two ways: 1. Attached to a piece of heavy equipment - to transport that piece of equipment only ● May have one operator for both transport & heavy equipment ● May have separate operators for transport & heavy equipment ● Rates vary with number of operators and time under hire ● Operate under same RO as heavy equipment 2. Stand Alone – to transport other equipment The term "transport" or “lowboy” includes a truck tractor with trailer(s), or trucks with tilt beds. Trailers may be an enclosed van, flatbed, or lowboy-type for hauling heavy equipment such as Dozers, Excavators, Pumper Cats, etc. 3

The vendor will be paid for travel to and from the incident from the equipment City and State designated in their agreement. Severity is paid at 75% of the daily rate for 10 hours or less, excluding meal breaks. For greater than 10 hours, including travel time, the full daily rate applies.

11. Time Under Hire Per the IIBMH: “The time under hire shall start at the time the resource begins traveling to the incident after being ordered by the government, and end at the estimated time of arrival 1 back to the point of hire after being released.” “For fractional days at the beginning and ending of time under hire, payment will be based on 50 percent of the Daily Rate for periods less than 8 hours.” Shift ticket indicates time under hire of 1700. First day total time under hire is 7 hours (1700 – 2400). Fractional day less than 8 hours so 50% daily rate applies. 11

12. Time Under Hire Resources under hire more than 8 hours, with a separate operator for transport. Although the shift ticket indicates a 6 hour shift the dozer and transport were under hire on 8/23/12 from 0001-1200 (12 hrs). Minimum Daily Guarantee should be paid on both dozer and transport. 12

13. Rate Application One operator for transport and heavy equipment - minimum daily guarantee for transport is reduced to 65%. Reduced rate applies to all days under hire Mileage for transport exceeds the reduced min daily guarantee on 8/11 & 8/14. 13 $568.75

14. Porta Potties / Handwash Stations Mileage exceeding 100 miles per calendar day should be posted. FYI... Not an error on this invoice but wanted to mention: Additional Service Calls, Pickup Fees, Reset/ Relocation fees, if ordered, are per unit. 14

15. Separate Transport Operator Separate operators for transport and heavy equipment - minimum daily guarantee or mileage rate for transport is paid. Number of operators may vary from day to day so transport rates will also vary. 15

16. Operating Supply Responsibility Check agreements to determine if supplies are the responsibility of the contractor or the government. Per the EERA, operating supplies are being furnished by the government so fuel expenses paid by the resource were added to invoice for payment. Mileage calculation corrections made X Fuel Exp 16

17. Severity From Chapter 20 of IIBMH: “Severity shall be paid at 75% of the daily rate for up to a ten-hour day. Shifts exceeding ten hours will be paid the full daily rate.” Pay adjusted for 9/6/13 to reflect a payment of 75% of the daily rate for a 7 hour shift on this severity assignment. 17

18. Duplicate Payments for Single Day Emergency Equipment Use Invoices were submitted for 7/13 – 7/15 on two incidents for same resource. Original shift tickets for 7/13 – 7/15 were attached to Golden Valley Complex packet only. No shift tickets for 7/13 – 7/15 were attached to Billings IA Severity payment packet so line items were questioned, researched and deleted from invoice. 18

19. Equipment and Meal Breaks Per Chapter 50 of IIBMH – “Equipment will remain in paid status during meal periods, where people are required to show a meal break when they are relieved of duty. 19

20. Rate Shift Basis Use invoice indicates hourly rate for equipment contracted at a daily rate. 20
