St Louis MO Third Party Logistics

NWCG/GACG Meeting
St. Louis, MO

Possible outsourcing of primary job, particularly in logistics
and finance.
DISCUSSION:
There is considerable concern that outsourcing (contract) of
logistics and finance positions will circumvent agency personnel from doing these jobs. This is a continuing problem for all agencies but it appears that each agency is looking at results in a different way. Fire positions in the Forest Service will not be reviewed until 2004 and 2005 BLM is still in the inventory stage for fire positions. This is probably not a NWCG issue at this time

Contract issues
DISCUSSION:
The IBPWT has done considerable staff work on multiple contracting issues. The Pacific Northwest has made many additions and corrections to the contract. Three PNWCG WTs have focused on the issues of contracting. The Oregon Department of Forestry (ODF) has currently contracted 340 hand crews. This year ODF will collect $60 administrative overhead fees charged per crew day; fees will go to help cover contract administration. ODF will be contracting with a third party to do the administration. The charging mechanism is worked through the Forest Service. Engine and tender contracts (400 contracts and 1000 pieces of equipment in 2003) are administered by the Forest Service. Administrative expenses still need to be addressed and they are looking at a similar sort of administrative overhead charge as done by ODF. IACRs (Interagency Contract Representatives) have been trained and are available for dispatch to incidents with contracted crews. The PNWCG plans to use IACRs to administer contracts in the field this season. We probably need a PNWCG and NWCG assessment on the amount of contract resources needed. The northwest has one need for equipment but the larger picture is for other Geographical Areas and national needs.
