PART I - THE SCHEDULE
SECTION C
DESCRIPTION/SPECIFICATIONS/WORK STATEMENT
C.1 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
1.1 Scope of Contract
1.1.1 The intent of this solicitation and any resultant contract is to obtain services
of Mobile Food Service Units (MFSU)s at various field locations during
wildland fire and other types of incidents throughout the contiguous
western United States. The expectation and desired result of this contract is
to provide appetizing, nutritional, well balanced hot and special meals, sack
lunches, hot and cold can meals and supplemental items.
1.1.2 The MFSU is to include all equipment, supervision, labor, materials, and
supplies (except for those items listed as Government furnished) to
accomplish the full scope of work defined herein. Only equipment
necessary for the operation of a MFSU will be allowed and approved for use
under this contract. Equipment must be capable of operating in adversely
impacted urban areas to remote primitive locations with very limited access.
These emergency services shall include complete management, control,
purchase, receipt, storage, issue, handling, processing, packaging,
preparation, food serving, clean up, transport, repair, and maintenance.
All hot meals shall be served by Contractor personnel, except for those
meals served at Spike Camps. All meals shall be served and consumed at
the Incident dining area except sack lunches and hot/cold can meals,
which will be delivered to the Government at a specified time and place.
Exceptions to meals eaten outside the dining area may be approved on a
case by case basis by the Food Unit Leader (FDUL).
The Contractor shall have the capability to feed personnel when requested
by the FDUL at times other than those established for regular meals. The
intent is to provide meals on an "as requested" basis but does not require
the kitchen to be open continuously 24 hours per day.
1.1.3 Any time mobile food services are needed for federal wildland fire
incidents in the western United States, the Federal Wildland Fire Agencies
(see Section J.10), hereinafter referred to as the Government, are obligated
to order services from the National MFSU Contractors any time (1) the
number of people to be fed is at or above 150 persons per meal and (2) the
headcount is estimated to remain at those numbers, or greater, for at least
72 hours from when the headcount first reaches 150 per meal, provided
that the Contractors can reasonably meet the incident’s needs and required
AG-024B-S-07-9001 Page 8 Section C
National Mobile Food Services
time frames (See Section C.2). MFSU Contractors will be given the
opportunity to provide three meals per day unless other arrangements are
mutually agreed to with the FDUL or the needs of the incident require
different meal options such as Meals Ready to Eat (MRE).
MFSU also may be ordered for other types of incidents at the Government’s
option. State and other federal cooperators may also utilize this contract at
their option. However, the ordering procedures at Section C.2 will be
followed for all orders.
1.1.4 The Government, at its option, may order hot meals and/or cold breakfast
to be prepared and placed in Government furnished hot cans (Combination
Hot Food/Drink Containers NFES 0073).
1.1.5 The Government may order and the Contractor at its option may provide
supplemental beverages and sandwiches, additional refrigeration storage
space and additional tents/seating as shown and at the rates offered in the
Contractor’s current Unit Summary. The FDUL shall clearly document
and approve the order on Form 1276-B, Daily Meal Order/Invoice,
(Continuation Sheet) under Miscellaneous Charges.
1.1.6 For the purposes of FAR 16.503 (a)(1), to date the total quantities
purchased from 2005 through 2007 was $121,865,848.78 for all mobile
food services ordered through the National Interagency Coordination
Center (NICC). Emergency Equipment Rental Agreement (EERA)
Contractors totaled $23,897,881.48; National MFSU Contractors totaled
$97,967,967.30. The incidents ranged from 1 day to 22 days. On average
each Contractor received 4 total dispatches per year. These quantities are
not a representation to an offeror or Contractor that the same quantities
will be required or ordered, or that conditions affecting requirements will
be normal or stable.
1.1.7 Due to the sporadic occurrence of incident activity, the Government
DOES NOT GUARANTEE placement of any orders under this contract.
1.1.7.1 The Contractor is required to provide written notification to the
Contracting Officer (CO) and the NICC any time their MFSU is
unavailable for dispatch. Failure to provide this notification may
result in a poor past performance evaluation and/or suspension of
the unit.
1.1.7.2 The Contractor is not obligated to accept orders if written
notification has been submitted, stating the MFSU is unavailable to
CO and NICC in advance of the placement of an order.
AG-024B-S-07-9001 Page 9 Section C

1.1.7.3 Once the incident has begun to demobilize, the Contractor is not
obligated to stay beyond three days after the FDUL has notified the
Contractor in writing, that the number of people per meal period to
be served are below 100 people. The Contractor must inform the
FDUL in writing of the Contractor’s intent not to stay beyond the
three day period within 6 hours of being notified by the FDUL.

2.1.4 Contact person at the incident,
2.1.5 Spike Camp information,
2.1.6 GACC contact and Telephone number.
2.2 Dispatch Procedures
2.2.1 The Government has contracts with multiple vendors for Mobile Food
Services. During periods of availability, the Government will utilize the
Contractor whose DDP is closest to the incident as determined by using the
Rand McNally Road Atlas
or the latest version of Microsoft Expedia
Streets & Trips
, provided that the unit can meet the incident’s needs and
required time frames.
2.2.2 Contractor personnel and equipment are required to be physically located
and available to perform services from each of their DDP’s during the
defined Mandatory Availability Period (MAP). The DDP is the location
where the unit shall be physically located during the MAP, unless the
Contractor has provided written notification to the CO and NICC of its
unavailability status. NICC is the only designated dispatch center
authorized to place orders for MFSUs. NICC shall place orders against an
overriding Delivery Order; issued by the CO at time of award.
2.2.3 Outside the MAP, priority consideration will be given to units physically
located and available to perform services closest to the incident; provided
that the unit can meet the incident’s needs and required time frames. The
only two locations to be considered for dispatch outside of the MAP are
the DDP or the Company’s Headquarters. Outside the MAP Contractors
have the option of remaining at their DDP or returning to their Company’s
Headquarters.
Company’s Headquarters is defined as the company’s regular operating
physical address (Block 15A on Standard Form 33). Contractors are
responsible for notifying the CO and NICC, in writing, of availability
status and locations outside of their MAP.
2.2.4 The Government intends to dispatch resources in accordance with this
procedure. However, the number of fire orders in process and actual fire
conditions at the time of dispatch may require a deviation from procedures
stated in C.2. Any such deviation will be within the discretion of the
AG-024B-S-07-9001 Page 16 Section C
National Mobile Food Services
Government, and will not be deemed a violation of any term or condition
of this contract.
2.2.5 When a Contractor agrees to a delivery schedule at the time the order is
placed, the Contractor is required to perform in accordance with the
agreed upon schedule documented on the Mobile Food Service Request
Form. In addition, the Contractor is required to follow DOT regulations at
all times.
2.3 Release and/or Reassignment
2.3.1 When the MFSU has been released from an incident, the unit may remain
in the nearest town up to 24 hours in available status. After this time, it
must return to the MFSU’s DDP. Priority consideration for assignment
will be given to the MFSU closest to the incident that is physically located
at it’s DDP over other available units remaining in the nearest town or
enroute; provided that the MFSU at it’s DDP can reasonably meet the date
and time needed by the incident.
2.3.2 Reassigned Enroute - When a MFSU is reassigned enroute, the Contractor
is obligated to report to the reassigned incident.

Workplace Policy (Reference J.7). It will be left to the discretion of the COR to

H.6 INCIDENT BEHAVIOR
It is extremely important that inappropriate behavior be recognized and dealt with promptly.
Inappropriate behavior is all forms of harassment including sexual and racial harassment.
Harassment in any form will not be tolerated. Non-prescription unlawful drugs and alcohol are not
permitted at the incident. Possession or use of these substances will result in the Contractor or its
employees being released from the incident. During off-incident periods, personnel are responsible
for proper conduct and maintenance of fitness for duty. Drug or alcohol abuse resulting in unfitness
for duty will normally result in the Contractor being released from the incident. Sexual harassment
is defined as unwelcome sexual advances, request for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical
conduct of a sexual nature when (1) submission to such conduct is made either explicitly or
implicitly a term or condition of an individual’s employment, (2) submission to or rejection of such
conduct by an individual is used as the basis for employment decisions affecting such individual’s
work performance or, (3) creates an intimidating, hostile, or offensive working environment.
H.7 EMPLOYMENT OF ELIGIBLE WORKERS (FSAR 4G52.222-701)(DEC 1999)
Section 274A of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 USC 1324a) makes it unlawful for an
employer to hire unauthorized aliens. The Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) has
established the Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification Form, as the document to be used for
employment eligibility verification (see 8 CFR 274a).
The Contractor is required to (1) have all employees complete and sign the I-9 Form to certify that
they are eligible for employment; (2) examine documents presented by the employee and ensure the
documents appear to be genuine and related to the individual; (3) record information about the
documents on the form, and complete the certification portion of the form; (4) retain the form for
three years, or one year past the end of employment of the individual, whichever is longer.
It is illegal to discriminate against any individual (other than a citizen of another country who is not
authorized to work in the United States) in hiring, discharging, or recruiting because of that
individual's national origin or citizenship status.
Compliance with Section 274A of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1324a) is a
material condition of the contract. If the Contractor employs unauthorized workers during contract
performance in violation of section 274A, the Government may terminate the contract, in addition to
other remedies or penalties prescribed by law.
For further information on the requirements of the Act, Contractors should contact the Employer and
Labor Relations Officer of their local INS office.
H.8 COMMERCIAL FILMING OR VIDEOTAPING
In accordance with 36 C.F.R. Part 251 and U.S. Forest Service Manuals 1600 and 2700 all commercial
filming or videotaping (e.g., filming for feature films, reality shows, documentaries, television
specials, etc.) on National Forest System lands requires the filming entity to apply for, and obtain, a
special use authorization prior to the start of any filming, or associated activities, on National Forest
System lands. This requirement is applicable to filming directly by contractors and is also applicable
to filming of contractors of the U.S. Forest Service while on National Forest System lands.
Any filming, or associated activities, occurring on National Forest System lands pursuant to a
properly acquired special use authorization may be limited or prohibited during a fire fighting or
incident support situation at the discretion of the Incident Commander.

I.2 CENTRAL CONTRACTOR REGISTRATION (FAR 52.204-7)(APR 2008)
(a) Definitions. As used in this clause—
“Central Contractor Registration (CCR) database” means the primary Government
repository for Contractor information required for the conduct of business with the
Government.
“Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number” means the 9-digit number
assigned by Dun and Bradstreet, Inc. (D&B) to identify unique business entities.
“Data Universal Numbering System +4 (DUNS+4) number” means the DUNS
number assigned by D&B plus a 4-character suffix that may be assigned by a
business concern. (D&B has no affiliation with this 4-character suffix.) This 4-
character suffix may be assigned at the discretion of the business concern to
establish additional CCR records for identifying alternative Electronic Funds
Transfer (EFT) accounts (see the FAR at Subpart 32.11) for the same concern.
“Registered in the CCR database” means that
(1) The Contractor has entered all mandatory information, including the DUNS
number or the DUNS+4 number, into the CCR database; and
(2) The Government has validated all mandatory data fields, to include validation
of the Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) with the Internal Revenue
Service (IRS), and has marked the record “Active”. The Contractor will be
required to provide consent for TIN validation to the Government as a part of
the CCR registration process.
(b)
(1) By submission of an offer, the offeror acknowledges the requirement that a
prospective awardee shall be registered in the CCR database prior to award,
during performance, and through final payment of any contract, basic
agreement, basic ordering agreement, or blanket purchasing agreement
resulting from this solicitation.
(2) The offeror shall enter, in the block with its name and address on the cover
page of its offer, the annotation “DUNS” or “DUNS +4” followed by the
DUNS or DUNS +4 number that identifies the offeror’s name and address
exactly as stated in the offer. The DUNS number will be used by the
Contracting Officer to verify that the offeror is registered in the CCR
database.
(c) If the offeror does not have a DUNS number, it should contact Dun and Bradstreet
directly to obtain one.
AG-024B-S-07-9001 Page 57 Section I
National Mobile Food Services
(1) An offeror may obtain a DUNS number—
(i) Via the Internet at http://fedgov.dnb.com/webform or if the offeror does
not have internet access, it may call Dun and Bradstreet at 1-866-705-5711
if located within the United States; or
(ii) If located outside the United States, by contacting the local Dun and
Bradstreet office. The offeror should indicate that it is an offeror for a U.S.
Government contract when contacting the local Dun and Bradstreet office.
(2) The offeror should be prepared to provide the following information:
(i) Company legal business.
(ii) Tradestyle, doing business, or other name by which your entity is
commonly recognized.
(iii) Company Physical Street Address, City, State, and ZIP Code.
(iv) Company Mailing Address, City, State and ZIP Code (if separate from
physical).
(v) Company Telephone Number.
(vi) Date the company was started.
(vii) Number of employees at your location.
(viii) Chief executive officer/key manager.
(ix) Line of business (industry).
(x) Company Headquarters name and address (reporting relationship within
your entity).
(d) If the Offeror does not become registered in the CCR database in the time prescribed
by the Contracting Officer, the Contracting Officer will proceed to award to the next
otherwise successful registered Offeror.
(e) Processing time, which normally takes 48 hours, should be taken into consideration
when registering. Offerors who are not registered should consider applying for
registration immediately upon receipt of this solicitation.
(f) The Contractor is responsible for the accuracy and completeness of the data within the
CCR database, and for any liability resulting from the Government’s reliance on
AG-024B-S-07-9001 Page 58 Section I
National Mobile Food Services
inaccurate or incomplete data. To remain registered in the CCR database after the
initial registration, the Contractor is required to review and update on an annual basis
from the date of initial registration or subsequent updates its information in the CCR
database to ensure it is current, accurate and complete. Updating information in the
CCR does not alter the terms and conditions of this contract and is not a substitute for
a properly executed contractual document.
(g)
(1)
(i) If a Contractor has legally changed its business name, “doing business as”
name, or division name (whichever is shown on the contract), or has
transferred the assets used in performing the contract, but has not completed
the necessary requirements regarding novation and change-of-name
agreements in Subpart 42.12, the Contractor shall provide the responsible
Contracting Officer a minimum of one business day’s written notification of
its intention to (A) change the name in the CCR database; (B) comply with the
requirements of Subpart 42.12 of the FAR; and (C) agree in writing to the
timeline and procedures specified by the responsible Contracting Officer. The
Contractor must provide with the notification sufficient documentation to
support the legally changed name.
(ii) If the Contractor fails to comply with the requirements of paragraph (g)(1)(i)
of this clause, or fails to perform the agreement at paragraph (g)(1)(i)(C) of
this clause, and, in the absence of a properly executed novation or change-of-
name agreement, the CCR information that shows the Contractor to be other
than the Contractor indicated in the contract will be considered to be incorrect
information within the meaning of the “Suspension of Payment” paragraph of
the electronic funds transfer (EFT) clause of this contract.
(2) The Contractor shall not change the name or address for EFT payments or manual
payments, as appropriate, in the CCR record to reflect an assignee for the purpose
of assignment of claims (see FAR Subpart 32.8, Assignment of Claims).
Assignees shall be separately registered in the CCR database. Information
provided to the Contractor’s CCR record that indicates payments, including those
made by EFT, to an ultimate recipient other than that Contractor will be
considered to be incorrect information within the meaning of the “Suspension of
payment” paragraph of the EFT clause of this contract.
(h) Offerors and Contractors may obtain information on registration and annual
confirmation requirements via the internet at http://www.ccr.gov or by calling 1-888-
227-2423, or 269-961-5757.

DUES OR FEES (FAR 52.222-39)(DEC 2004)
(a) Definition. As used in this clause—
“United States” means the 50 States, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the
Northern Mariana Islands, American Samoa, Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and
Wake Island.
(b) Except as provided in paragraph (e) of this clause, during the term of this contract,
the Contractor shall post a notice, in the form of a poster, informing employees of
their rights concerning union membership and payment of union dues and fees, in
conspicuous places in and about all its plants and offices, including all places where
notices to employees are customarily posted. The notice shall include the following
information (except that the information pertaining to National Labor Relations Board
shall not be included in notices posted in the plants or offices of carriers subject to the
Railway Labor Act, as amended (45 U.S.C. 151-188)).
Notice to Employees
Under Federal law, employees cannot be required to join a union or maintain
membership in a union in order to retain their jobs. Under certain conditions, the
law permits a union and an employer to enter into a union-security agreement
requiring employees to pay uniform periodic dues and initiation fees. However,
employees who are not union members can object to the use of their payments for
certain purposes and can only be required to pay their share of union costs relating
to collective bargaining, contract administration, and grievance adjustment.
If you do not want to pay that portion of dues or fees used to support activities not
related to collective bargaining, contract administration, or grievance adjustment,
you are entitled to an appropriate reduction in your payment. If you believe that

a violation of applicable Federal or State regulations. The Kitchen Manager shall refuse
any operation considered hazardous or unsafe.
I.14 ECONOMIC PRICE ADJUSTMENTS
Contract price adjustments applicable to each contract option renewal period will be based on
increases or decreases in the 12-month cumulative monthly percent changes to the Food
and Beverage, Transportation, and Services indexes for the previous 12 consecutive months
found in Table 1 - Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers (CPI-U); and the total
percent change to the Service Occupations index found in the Employment Cost Index
(ECI) - Occupational Group.
The calculation of the 12 month cumulative percent change to the CPI-U Food and
Beverage, Transportation and Services indexes, for each renewal option period, will be based
on the cumulative monthly percent changes for the preceding fiscal year, October through
September. For example, price adjustments for calendar year 2011 will be based on
cumulative monthly percent changes from October 2009 through September 2010. The
cumulative total of all 12 previously reported monthly Unadjusted percent changes to the
current month from the previous month will be used.
The total percent change to the Service Occupations index will be obtained from the
September Employment Cost Index (ECI) report; of the calendar year immediately prior to
the year in which the renewal is effective. For example, price adjustments for calendar year
2011 will be base on the September 2010 ECI report.
(See examples below, CPI-U Food and Beverages = 0.9%, ECI Services = 4.0%)
AG-024B-S-07-9001 Page 71 Section I
National Mobile Food Services
The newly adjusted prices will become effective January 1 of each option renewal period,
using the following formulas:
(a) The Breakfast, Cold Can Breakfast, Sack Lunch, Dinner, Supplemental
Foods/Beverages prices will be adjusted as follows:
85% of the current meal price multiplied by the 12 month cumulative percent
change in the CPI-U Food and Beverages index, plus,
15% of the current meal price multiplied by the total percent change in the ECI-
Occupational Group, Service Occupations index.
For example: If the 12 month cumulative percent change to CPI-U for Food &
Beverages index = 1.9%; and the total percent change in the ECI-Occupational
Group for Service Occupations index = 3.1% with a hypothetical current meal
price of $15.00.
($15.00 x 85%) x 0.019 = $0.24
($15.00 x 15%) x 0.031 = $0.07
$0.31 New adjusted rate: $15.00 + $0.31 = $15.31
(b) The Mileage price will be adjusted as follows:
AG-024B-S-07-9001 Page 72 Section I
National Mobile Food Services
100% of the current mileage price multiplied by the 12 month cumulative
percent change in the CPI-U for the Transportation index.
For example: If the 12 month cumulative percent change to the CPI-U
Transportation index = 4.2% with a hypothetical current mileage rate of $15.00.
($15.00) x 0.042 = $0.63 New adjusted rate: $15.00 + $0.63 = $15.63
(c) The rates paid for Handwashing Units, Additional Tents/Seating and Optional
Refrigeration Storage Space will be adjusted as follows:
90% of the current usage price multiplied by the 12 month cumulative percent
change in the CPI-U Commodity and Service Group – Services index, plus,
10% of the current usage price multiplied by the total percent change in the ECI-
Occupational Group, Service Occupations index.
For example: If the 12 month cumulative percent change to the CPI-U,
Commodity and Service Group, Services index = 2.9%; and the total percent
change to the ECI-Occupational Group for Service Occupations index = 3.1%
with a hypothetical current usage rate of $780.00.
($780.00 x 90%) x 0.029 = $20.36
($780.00 x 10%) x 0.031 = $ 2.40
$22.76
New adjusted rate: $780.00 + $22.76 = $802.76

** UNIFORM ALLOWANCE **
AG-024B-S-07-9001 Page 83 Section J
National Mobile Food Services
If employees are required to wear uniforms in the performance of this contract
(either by the terms of the Government contract, by the employer, by the state
or local law, etc.), the cost of furnishing such uniforms and maintaining (by
laundering or dry cleaning) such uniforms is an expense that may not be borne by
an employee where such cost reduces the hourly rate below that required by the
wage determination. The Department of Labor will accept payment in accordance
with the following standards as compliance:
The contractor or subcontractor is required to furnish all employees with an
adequate number of uniforms without cost or to reimburse employees for the
actual cost of the uniforms. In addition, where uniform cleaning and maintenance
is made the responsibility of the employee, all contractors and subcontractors
subject to this wage determination shall (in the absence of a bona fide
collective bargaining agreement providing for a different amount, or the
furnishing of contrary affirmative proof as to the actual cost), reimburse all
employees for such cleaning and maintenance at a rate of $3.35 per week (or $.67
cents per day). However, in those instances where the uniforms furnished are
made of "wash and wear" materials, may be routinely washed and dried with other
personal garments, and do not require any special treatment such as dry
cleaning, daily washing, or commercial laundering in order to meet the
cleanliness or appearance standards set by the terms of the Government contract,
by the contractor, by law, or by the nature of the work, there is no requirement
that employees be reimbursed for uniform maintenance costs.
** NOTES APPLYING TO THIS WAGE DETERMINATION **
Under the policy and guidance contained in All Agency Memorandum No. 159, the
Wage and Hour Division does not recognize, for section 4(c) purposes,
prospective wage rates and fringe benefit provisions that are effective only
upon such contingencies as "approval of Wage and Hour, issuance of a wage
determination, incorporation of the wage determination in the contract,
adjusting the contract price, etc." (The relevant CBA section) in the collective
bargaining agreement between (the parties) contains contingency language that
Wage and Hour does not recognize as reflecting "arm's length negotiation" under
section 4(c) of the Act and 29 C.F.R. 5.11(a) of the regulations. This wage
determination therefore reflects the actual CBA wage rates and fringe benefits
paid under the predecessor contract.
The duties of employees under job titles listed are those described in the
"Service Contract Act Directory of Occupations", Fifth Edition, April 2006,
unless otherwise indicated. Copies of the Directory are available on the
Internet. A links to the Directory may be found on the WHD home page at
http://www.dol.gov/esa/whd/ or through the Wage Determinations On-Line (WDOL)
Web site at http://wdol.gov/.
REQUEST FOR AUTHORIZATION OF ADDITIONAL CLASSIFICATION AND WAGE RATE {Standard
Form 1444 (SF 1444)}
Conformance Process:
The contracting officer shall require that any class of service employee which
is not listed herein and which is to be employed under the contract (i.e., the
work to be performed is not performed by any classification listed in the wage
determination), be classified by the contractor so as to provide a reasonable
relationship (i.e., appropriate level of skill comparison) between such unlisted
classifications and the classifications listed in the wage determination. Such
AG-024B-S-07-9001 Page 84 Section J
National Mobile Food Services
conformed classes of employees shall be paid the monetary wages and furnished
the fringe benefits as are determined. Such conforming process shall be
initiated by the contractor prior to the performance of contract work by such
unlisted class(es) of employees. The conformed classification, wage rate, and/or
fringe benefits shall be retroactive to the commencement date of the contract.
{See Section 4.6 (C)(vi)} When multiple wage determinations are included in a
contract, a separate SF 1444 should be prepared for each wage determination to
which a class(es) is to be conformed.
The process for preparing a conformance request is as follows:
1) When preparing the bid, the contractor identifies the need for a conformed
occupation(s) and computes a proposed rate(s).
2) After contract award, the contractor prepares a written report listing in
order proposed classification title(s), a Federal grade equivalency (FGE) for
each proposed classification(s), job description(s), and rationale for proposed
wage rate(s), including information regarding the agreement or disagreement of
the authorized representative of the employees involved, or where there is no
authorized representative, the employees themselves. This report should be
submitted to the contracting officer no later than 30 days after such unlisted
class(es) of employees performs any contract work.
3) The contracting officer reviews the proposed action and promptly submits a
report of the action, together with the agency's recommendations and pertinent
information including the position of the contractor and the employees, to the
Wage and Hour Division, Employment Standards Administration, U.S. Department of
Labor, for review. (See section 4.6(b)(2) of Regulations 29 CFR Part 4).
4) Within 30 days of receipt, the Wage and Hour Division approves, modifies, or
disapproves the action via transmittal to the agency contracting officer, or
notifies the contracting officer that additional time will be required to
process the request.
5) The contracting officer transmits the Wage and Hour decision to the
contractor.
6) The contractor informs the affected employees.
Information required by the Regulations must be submitted on SF 1444 or bond
paper.
When preparing a conformance request, the "Service Contract Act Directory of
Occupations" (the Directory) should be used to compare job definitions to insure
that duties requested are not performed by a classification already listed in
the wage determination. Remember, it is not the job title, but the required
tasks that determine whether a class is included in an established wage
determination. Conformances may not be used to artificially split, combine, or
subdivide classifications listed in the wage determination.

J.6 POTABLE WATER STANDARDS
NWCG POTABLE WATER TANK SPECIFICATION (Revised 10/2007)
Equipment Requirements
Potable water tanks shall be:
(a) Used exclusively for drinking water. Do not use containers for any non-food products.
The potable water system, including filling hose and lines, pumps, tanks, and distributing
pipes, shall be separate and distinct from other water systems. Do not use containers that
have ever been previously used for gray water, toxic or bio-hazardous substances.
(Reference: Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Section 129.40)
(b) Clearly and conspicuously labeled with the words “POTABLE” or “FOR DRINKING
WATER USE ONLY” on both sides of the tank in lettering at least 4 inches in height.
The capacity of the tank (in gallons) displayed on both sides of the tank or on both cab
doors in lettering at least 2 inches in height. Name and address of Contractor shall appear
on both sides of the tank or on both truck cab doors in lettering at least 2 inches in height.
A seal or sticker provided by the State or local authority shall be affixed to the upper left
quarter of the rear of the tank or other location if specified by the issuing agency and
shall be visible at all times indicating that the tank has been inspected, certified and found
to be in compliance with State requirements. If stickers are not provided by a State, a
copy of the certificate or label shall be kept in the transport vehicle at all times. An
annual inspection and certification of the tank by the local health authority is required. In
addition, the carrier shall meet all laws and regulations for hauling on public roads. If the
tank is part of the transport vehicle, then both the tank and vehicle shall meet State
requirements, and the appropriate inspection and certification will be maintained for the
vehicle. If the State does not do certification, then the hiring agency will be responsible
for inspecting and ensuring the tank meets the requirements.
(c) 200 gallons capacity or greater and be made of non-toxic, non-corrodible/non absorbent
materials or coated with non-toxic coatings National Safety Foundation (NSF)
International Standard 61 that can be adequately cleaned and sanitized. Examples are
stainless steel, food contact plastics (polyethylene), and food contact epoxy coatings.
Surfaces that come in contact with water shall be smooth, without pits, dents, or crimps
that may hold contaminating matter and welds shall be of non-corrosive material.
Tank Construction
Tanks shall be constructed to the following requirements at a minimum and meet all State
requirements for certification compliance if the State has these established:
Openings: Hatches and other openings shall be completely covered and sealed with tight fitting
coverings, permanently mounted food-grade gaskets, and security locks. Water inlets and outlets
AG-024B-S-07-9001 Page 91 Section J
National Mobile Food Services
shall be equipped with threaded or clamped caps, tethered to the ports with chain or cable. Inlet
and outlet caps shall be in place on all fittings except when water is being discharged or loaded.
Tank vents: Vents will be designed to prevent water contamination. Tanks shall be vented by a
downward facing, or otherwise protected vent opening of a sufficient size to allow air to replace
water as it is discharged. This opening shall be protected by an appropriate screen as required in
the state that certifies the equipment. If a State does not certify the equipment, the screen shall
be made from non-toxic, non-absorbent material at a minimum.
Drain: Each potable water tank shall provide a means of drainage and, if it is equipped with a
manhole, overflow, vent, or a device for measuring depth of water, provision shall be made to
prevent entrance into the tank of any contaminating substance. No deck or sanitary drain or pipe
carrying non-potable water or liquid shall be permitted to pass through the tank. A bottom drain
shall be provided to facilitate complete discharge of water during sanitation procedures.
Tank Filling Mechanisms
There shall be no backflow or cross connection between potable water systems and any other
systems. Pipes and fittings conveying potable water to any fixture, apparatus, or equipment shall
be installed in such a way to prevent backflow. Waste pipes from any part of the potable water
system, including treatment devices, discharging to a drain, shall be suitably protected against
backflow. Either of the following methods may be used:
(1) An approved backflow prevention device complying with Uniform Plumbing Codes
603.3.1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 8 such as acceptable double check valves on the direct filling
connection to the tank. No connections shall be located between the tank and the check
valve.
(2) Overhead filling through a hatch opening at the top of the tank; the filling spout must not
be allowed to intrude into the tank further than two diameters of the filling pipe above the
highest water level that is possible when the tank is filled. If an overhead filler pipe is
mounted on the vehicle, when not being used for filling, this pipe shall be capped at each
end with threaded or clamped caps, and tethered to the fittings at the ends of the filler
pipe.
Sanitary techniques must be observed in the water transfer operation. Care must be exercised to
prevent foreign materials from entering the water. Since contamination could be present on the
exterior surfaces of hoses or pipes, they must never be submerged in a receiving vessel.
Adequate cleaning and sanitizing procedures shall be used on hauling vehicle(s) and associated
equipment at the following times:
(1) When the equipment is placed into service, or when it has been unused and stored in a
sealed condition for a period of 4 weeks or more.
AG-024B-S-07-9001 Page 92 Section J
National Mobile Food Services
(2) When the filled or empty tank has been exposed by open or unsealed cover caps or
fittings to any condition of possible contamination of the tank or contents, including
contact with dust, smoke, rain, or chemical substances.
(3) When any fault or defect becomes apparent in the seals, vents, hatch doors, welds, valves,
pipes, pumps, hoses or other equipment that may contaminate the water.
(4) When bacterial analysis of the water indicates presence of coliform bacteria.
Pumps
Only water transfer pumps which can be readily disassembled to demonstrate the condition of
the impeller and impeller chamber shall be used. Internal pump water contact surfaces, including
seals, bearing, and lubricants must be constructed from food grade materials and must be
smooth, non-porous, and corrosion resistant and use acceptable food grade lubricants.
Hoses
Hoses shall have a smooth interior surface made of food-grade standard materials or materials
meeting NSF International Standard 61. Pumps, hoses, fittings, valves and similar equipment
shall be made of food-grade materials or materials meeting NSF International Standard 61 and
shall be kept clean, disinfected and operated or handled in a manner that prevents contamination
and capped or closed when not in use. Hoses shall be marked/labeled “potable water” and the use
of galvanized pipes or fittings is prohibited. The ends of all hoses shall be provided with
threaded or clamped caps. Such caps shall be in place when hoses are not in use. Hoses in
storage compartments must also be capped.
Operational Requirements and Bacterial Testing
Hauled water is vulnerable to increased handling, diversity of source, variability in hauling
equipment, and shall not be stored in the vehicle for a period greater than one week. All hauling
equipment must be clean and in good condition. In addition, all water-contact surfaces in hauling
and storage facilities shall be disinfected prior to use.
All equipment surfaces intended for potable water contact, including source fill point equipment,
containers, caps, tanks, hoses, valves, and fittings shall be inspected, washed, rinsed, sanitized,
and replaced as often as necessary to effect and maintain sanitation of such surfaces. Procedures
to be used are listed in Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 129.80. Disinfection needs to
occur before being put in service, or when it has been unused and stored in a sealed condition
after a period of 4 weeks or more, or after any food product has been hauled. Follow applicable
State specifications/guidelines for disinfection of tanks either where the equipment was certified
or to the standards where the equipment is going to be used if crossing state boundaries. When
no applicable State specifications/guidelines for disinfection of tanks exist, at a minimum, the
tank shall be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected. After 24 hours contact time with the
disinfecting solution, the tank shall be drained and flushed with drinking water. Written
procedures for equipment cleaning and sanitizing shall be maintained by the Contractor and shall
AG-024B-S-07-9001 Page 93 Section J
National Mobile Food Services
be kept with the hauling vehicle at all times. These procedures shall include the names, amounts,
and contact times of cleaning and sanitizing agents to be used. The frequency of equipment
cleaning and sanitizing must be tracked in a log to be kept with the vehicle at all times. A copy
of the Contractor’s equipment cleaning and sanitizing procedures log shall be provided to the
Contracting Officer or designated Government Representative upon request.
At a minimum or when required by the local jurisdiction or State Law one microbiological test
for total coliform shall be performed within 2 established business days of the time of arrival at
the incident at a certified laboratory. Sampling by the contractor must be performed to industry
standards and to the standards required by the designated laboratory. Where State-specific
requirements have not been established, laboratory coliform test data must show that the water
contains coliforms of less than 2.2 Most Probable Numbers (MPN)/100 ml (or “absence” if the
presence/absence test is used). In addition, a test shall be performed on the first water load
following any of the required sanitation procedures, whenever switching to a different water
source and/or at least once every 30 days during months when water hauling is performed, and/or
whenever such analysis is requested by state or local health authorities or Government
representative. If the presence/absence (P&A) test for the coliform analysis is used, then only
negative (absence) results are acceptable. If a sample tests positive (presence), the Contractor
shall take out of service, investigate the cause of the problem; take corrective actions;
resample/test the water; and notify the Incident Commander or designated Government
Representative at the Incident. If the test data shows that the water contains more than 2.2
MPN/100 ml, the Contractor shall immediately take out of service; investigate the cause of the
problem; take corrective actions; resample/test the water; and notify the Incident Commander or
designated Government Representative at the Incident. The Contractor shall not haul water until
the test shows that the water contains total coliform of less than 2.2 MPN/100 ml. Copies of the
results of such tests shall be submitted to the Contracting Officer at the address indicated on the
agreement or contract within seven calendar days after the end of the incident assignment. Test
results shall clearly identify Contractor’s name, address, and contract or agreement number on
the report. Original laboratory test results shall be maintained by the Contractor and kept for at
least 2 years pursuant to Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 129.80. Failure to comply
with this requirement may result in the immediate cancellation or suspension of the Emergency
Equipment Rental Agreement or contract for the current year. The Incident commander or
designated Government Representative at the Incident with concurrence of the Contracting
Officer will determine if/when the Contractor will be available for service.
Tank shall arrive empty for inspection.
Chlorine Residual: Contractors shall maintain a free chlorine residual level of 0.2 parts per
million (ppm) up to 1.0 ppm at all times (1/3 cup of bleach that meets NSF standards to 1000
gallons water may achieve 1.0 ppm chlorine residual level). When residual levels drop below
required levels the load shall be dumped and tank refilled.
Contractors shall have chlorine residual test kits available at all times and test for free chlorine
residual levels when:
(1) Loading drinking water for transport,
