JURISDICTION This Annual Wildfire Operating Plan for Control and Extinguishment of Wildland Fires ( "Operating Plan") is made and entered into this 1" day of May, 2012, by and between the Eagle County Sheriff's Office, the Division of Fire Prevention and Control, the U.S. Forest Service, and the U.S. Bureau of Land Management. 11' 1 Colorado Interagency Cooperative Fire Management Agreement BLM #CCFMA060001 USFS #06- F1- 11020000 -048 NPS #F1249060026 BIA #AG06M000002 FWS #14- 48- 60139 -K001 DFPC — No Agreement Number Used Emergency Fund Contract for Forest and Watershed Fire Control DFPC (CSFS) form #108, Feb. 2012 Agreement for Cooperative Wildfire Protection in Eagle County DFPC (CSFS) #109, March 12, 1990 III. PURPOSE The purpose of this Annual Operating Plan (AOP) is to set forth standard operating procedures, agreed upon procedures, and responsibilities to implement cooperative wildfire protection on all lands within Eagle County. IV. RECITALS 1. The parties recognize that the public health, safety and welfare of the inhabitants of their respective jurisdictions will be best served by providing the highest quality of wildland fire control and extinguishments services, including coordinated back -up services should the need arise. 2. Each party desires to be able to provide assistance to each other party in a coordinated fashion, and to receive assistance from each other party in a coordinated fashion, in the event the circumstances of a fire renders the jurisdictional agency unable to timely or effectively control and extinguish the fire. 3. The Sheriff is the Fire Warden of the county and is responsible for the planning for, and the coordination of, efforts to suppress wildland fires occurring in the unincorporated area of the county, outside the boundaries of a Fire Protection District, excluding federal lands, or that exceed the capabilities of the Fire Protection District to control or extinguish in accordance with the provisions of section 30 -10- 513, C.R.S. 4. In performance of those responsibilities, Eagle County has entered into certain agreements with the State of Colorado, which in turn enters into agreements with the U.S. Bureau of Land Management and U.S. Forest Service, providing resources for and procedures for coordinating those resources for control and extinguishments of wildland fires. Through these agreements, Eagle County secures for the benefit of the parties to this Agreement wildland firefighting and fire management resources of the Division of Fire Prevention and Control, USFS and BLM. Hereinafter, these, individually and collectively, are referred to as the "Umbrella Agreements." 2 Eagle County AOP 2013 5. The parties hereto have firefighting equipment and personnel, including equipment distributed to them by the State pursuant to its Agreement with Eagle County, and have primary firefighting responsibility within their respective political boundaries. 6. The parties hereto desire to set forth the terms and conditions by which they will provide and receive mutual aid to and from each other and to and from the parties to the Umbrella Agreements to control and extinguish wildland fires and certain non - wildland fires on private property outside the jurisdictional boundaries of the municipal and fire protection district parties. V. TERM AND TERMINATION A. Term The initial Term of this Operating Plan shall commence on the execution by all parties hereto and shall end on May 1, 2014, unless sooner terminated as provided below. B. Termination Without Cause Any parry may terminate this Operating Plan, without cause, by giving sixty days written notice to each of the other parties. C. Termination For Cause A party asserting it is aggrieved by a breach of this Operating Plan may serve on the party responsible for the alleged breach a written notice describing the breach. If the alleged breach is not cured within thirty days of giving notice, the aggrieved party may immediately terminate this Operating Plan by giving written notice to each of the other parties. VI. DEFINITIONS A. Fire Protection Responsibilities FIRE CHIEF AND FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT RESPONSIBILITY The Chief of the Fire Department in each Fire Protection District in the state is responsible for the management of wildland fires that occur within the boundaries of his or her district and that are within the capability of the Fire District to control or extinguish in accordance with the provisions of section 32 -1 -1002 (3) (a), C.R.S. The Fire Chief/ Fire Protection District may utilize mutual aid agreements and unified command with neighboring Fire Protection Districts to suppress and control fires that cross or threaten to cross the boundaries of the district. The Fire Chief/ Fire Protection District may transfer any duty or responsibility the Fire Chief may assume under this section to the County Sheriff with the concurrence of the Sheriff. The Fire Chief/ Fire Protection District shall not seek reimbursement from the county for expenses incurred by the District for their own apparatus, equipment, and personnel used in containing or suppressing a wildland fire occurring on private property within the boundaries of the District. Eagle County AOP 2013 SHERIFF RESPONSIBILITY The Sheriff is the Fire Warden of the county and is responsible for the planning for, and the coordination of, efforts to suppress wildland fires occurring in the unincorporated area of the county, outside the boundaries of a Fire Protection District, excluding federal lands, or that exceed the capabilities of the Fire Protection District to control or extinguish in accordance with the provisions of section 30 -10 -513, C.R.S. In the case of a wildland fire that exceeds the capabilities of the Fire Protection District to control or extinguish and that requires mutual aid and outside resources, the Sheriff may direct a unified command be established to provide the command and management required to manage the fire. Upon the transfer of fire management from the Fire District to the Sheriff, the Sheriff shall upon said transfer assume financial responsibility for firefighting efforts on behalf of the county and the authority for the ordering and monitoring of resources. In the case of a wildland fire that exceeds the capability of the county to control or extinguish, the Sheriff shall be responsible for seeking the assistance of the state, by requesting assistance from the Division of Fire Prevention and Control. The Sheriff and the Director of the Division of Fire Prevention and Control shall enter into an agreement concerning the transfer of authority and responsibility for fire suppression and the retention of responsibilities under a unified command structure. UPPER COLORADO RIVER INTERAGENCY FIRE MANAGEMENT UNIT RESPONSIBILITIES The UCR is responsible for managing fires occurring on National Forest lands and lands administered by the Bureau of Land Management. It is clearly and mutually understood that the Upper Colorado River USFS -BLM will respond to wildfires and follow through on all necessary suppression actions on Denver Water properties in Eagle County. B. Mutual Aid Primary Purpose The parties hereto respectively pledge their good faith in attempting to assist each other based on their needs, requests for mutual aid, and the circumstances of a wildland fire. Each party will take appropriate actions to manage all wildland fires during the mutual aid time period and thereafter, and agrees the primary concern is the extinguishing of wildland fires, and none will delay extinguishment efforts while deciding ultimate responsibility for such fires. Mutual Aid Time Period • Mutual Aid between the County and Eagle County Agencies lasts for the first 72 hours from the time the first initial attack resource arrives on scene • Mutual Aid between all other parties hereto shall (1) Not exceed 24 hours, and (2) Will end at midnight of the first burn period when the Incident Commander determines that the fire cannot be controlled within 24 hours of the initial ignition 4 Eagle County AOP 2013 County -wide Mutual Aid Mutual Aid has been established county -wide without regard to jurisdictional boundaries. Agencies are responsible for their own costs during the mutual aid time period. The BLM helicopter stationed in Rifle is considered a mutual aid resource, and if not assigned to another fire, is available without charge to county fire agencies during the mutual aid time period. It is understood that no agency will be required or expected to commit its forces through mutual aid to assist another agency to the extent of jeopardizing the security or responsibilities of its own jurisdiction. EXHIBIT B shows mutual aid resources available from cooperating agencies. Severity Resources Severity Resources of the UCR will be available for mutual aid response. This does not include smoke jumpers, heavy airtankers, or heavy helicopters. C. Special Management Considerations Aerial Retardant Use — The use of aerial retardants on all lands is restricted within 300 feet of lakes, rivers and live streams. a. Denver Water Board Lands Notification — When a wildfire occurs on lands owned by Denver Water, the DFPC Granby District representative must be notified, as soon as practical. The DFPC representative will respond, as needed, to serve as the landowner's representative on the incident and document suppression response. Use of Mechanized Equipment — Use of mechanized, earthmoving equipment such as bulldozers, graders, etc., will not be permitted on Denver Water lands without the expressed approval of DFPC or Denver Water. b. Federal Lands Use of roads on federal lands, presently closed to vehicular travel (outside of wilderness or wilderness study areas), is hereby authorized to all parties to this Wildfire Annual Operating Plan as follows: Access for detection and suppression is allowed on established roads behind locked gates. Access for suppression only is allowed on roads which have been designated as "closed." Detection and reporting within areas marked as "D polygons" on the White River National Forest Wildland Fire Response Areas map is authorized. Suppression efforts should not be taken unless authorized by the U.S. Forest Service. 5 Eagle County AOP 2013 Detection or suppression within designated wilderness, wilderness study areas and/or "roadless" areas, as designated on the White River National Forest Wildland Fire Response Areas map, is authorized as follows: The use of mechanized equipment (vehicles, chainsaws, pumps, etc.) within wilderness areas is prohibited, unless specifically authorized by USFS. Non - mechanized detection and suppression efforts are authorized in those portions of wilderness areas that are not part of a "D polygon" area. Detection and reporting only is authorized within wilderness areas that are also within a "D polygons" area. Natural ignitions in these areas will be evaluated for, and may be managed for multiple management objectives. D. Repair of Wildfire Suppression Damage Repair of wildfire suppression damage is the responsibility of the jurisdictional agency /agencies (land manager /owner) unless otherwise agreed to by a unified command group. The state Emergency Fire Fund (EFF) is strictly a fire suppression fund and cannot pay for rehabilitation. Repair of damage directly related to suppression, i.e., water bars on dozer lines, may be authorized by the DFPC Agency Administrator only when part of the Incident Action Plan during the EFF period. Repair of wildfire suppression damage on Denver Water lands is the responsibility of Denver Water, unless otherwise agreed to by the unified command at the time of fire close out. All efforts will be made by agencies involved in suppressive action to minimize damage through the use of "light on the land" techniques, or through rehabilitation activities conducted at the time of the incident. Examples of these rehabilitation activities would include: water barring firelines; placement of logs or rocks across firelines; etc.... E. Other Definitions "Assisting Party" or "Agency" means and refers to the agency party rendering firefighting assistance outside of its jurisdiction to another agency party to this Operating Plan pursuant to the terms herein. "Jurisdiction" means and refers to the physical boundaries of a party hereto together with the extra - boundary lands for which it contracts to provide fire protection services. Jurisdictional boundary lines for USFS, BLM, and Eagle County (state and private lands) are shown on the USFS White River National Forest Map. Fire protection district boundaries and Response Areas are shown on FPD maps. "Requesting Party" or "Agency" means and refers to the agency party to this Operating Plan in need of and requesting firefighting assistance within its jurisdiction. " Wildland Fire" means and refers to a forest or prairie fire as referred to in SS30 -10 -512, 513, CRS. "Umbrella Agreements" means and refers to authorities for this plan 6 Eagle County AOP 2013 VII. RESOURCE LIST Resources available for wildland fire suppression or support are listed by agency or department on Cooperative Resource Rates Forms in EXHIBIT I. VIII. PROTECTION AREA MAP The Eagle County Wildland Fire Response Areas map shows jurisdictional boundaries for the purpose of this Plan and is attached in EXHIBIT A fk,�y1.7Do tIWR1310a l A. Fire Planning Eagle County has developed a Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP). This operating plan will become an addendum to the CWPP, which will have a primary purpose of planning and prioritizing wildfire mitigation and protection in the county. B. Wildfire Training Needs and Coordination Standardized, NWCG approved fire training courses are provided periodically by the fire districts, UCR, DFPC, and other agencies. As these courses are scheduled, all parties to this plan should be informed and invited to participate. Local cooperators are encouraged to participate with UCR training committee. C. Inspection Schedule Each party is responsible for inspecting its own equipment annually for use and road worthiness prior to listing it as available for interagency use. X. WILDFIRE SUPPRESSION PROCEDURES A. Incident Command System & Multi- Agency Coordination The Incident Command System will be utilized on all wildfires. All extended attack multi - jurisdictional incidents will utilize unified command. Under unified command affected Federal, State, and County jurisdictions will provide on scene representation. These designated representatives will communicate direction and objectives to ONE incident commander who has no collateral duties. The incident will have ONE fireline operations section chief to implement strategy and tactics. All requests for fire information will be approved by the IC utilizing a single fire information officer. A local Multi - Agency Coordination group or County EOC activation may be initiated when two or more agencies are experiencing incidents requiring a significant commitment of county resources. 7 Eagle County AOP 2013 INCIDENT MANAGEMENT TEAMS a. Northwest Colorado All- Hazard Incident Management Team The Northwest All- Hazards Emergency Planning Region and the Northwest Council of Governments has established an Incident Management Team (IMT) which is made up of qualified personnel from various local agencies who are available to respond at the request of any of the 10 Northwest Counties or from the State of Colorado. The team fiscal agent is the Town of Vail. This IMT can assist the host agency, or support another IMT. The Northwest Colorado IMT can be requested through the Vail Public Safety Communication Center. b. Regional Type 3 Incident Management Teams Type 3 (local, extended attack) IMT is organized and dispatched for the Upper Colorado River Interagency Fire Management Unit area through Grand Junction Interagency Dispatch Center. This cadre is staffed by NWCG qualified personnel at the Type 3 level from federal, state, and county agencies in the zone. This IMT is available to assist all jurisdictional agencies within the area, and is available to staff an incident for up to 7 days. The Type 3 IMT can be used to handle the coordination of medium -sized incidents, or to serve as an interim team on larger incidents before a Type 1 or Type 2 IMT can assume management duties. c. Type 1 and Type 2 Incident Management Teams (]EMT) For incidents that exceed the capability of Type 4 or Type 3 IMTs. All Eagle County requests for Type 1 or Type 2 IMTs must be placed through the Grand Junction Interagency Dispatch Center. B. Detection All reports of actual or potential wildfires will be made to the appropriate dispatch. All wildland fire reports will be forwarded by the appropriate dispatch to the appropriate jurisdiction and Grand Junction Interagency Dispatch Center with a preference to the use of Northwest NET, with a backup of landline communication. The participating agencies that can take the quickest effective fire size -up or appropriate management action will be dispatched for initial attack. The jurisdictional agency will respond and establish command at the earliest possible time. C. Notification About Fires Assisting agencies making initial attack on fires outside their jurisdiction will ensure, through Vail Dispatch, that the jurisdictional agency is promptly notified. The actual UCR size up report per 2012 Incident Organizer should be made by the initial attack incident commander directly to GJC if possible. UCR size up report can be found in EXHMIT B. The initial attack incident commander is responsible for ensuring that Vail Dispatch notifies GJC of all fires reported on USFS, BLM and Denver Water lands. 8 Eagle County AOP 2013 It shall be the responsibility of the Upper Colorado River USFS -BLM to notify the Division of Fire Prevention and Control if Denver Water lands are involved or threatened, as soon as practical. Eagle County or GJC - DFPC must be notified when 1) non - federal wildland fire escapes initial attack, or 2) threatens structures, or 3) air resources are ordered for non - federal suppression efforts. D. Mutual Aid Dispatch Areas Mutual Aid will be exchanged between the participants regardless of jurisdictional boundary lines. Each agency or department is responsible for providing Worker's Compensation Insurance for its own personnel. a. County- Federal Mutual Aid Mutual aid is exchanged between the County, participating municipalities and fire protection district parties hereto, in the aggregate, and the United States parties. As to such mutual aid, the jurisdictional boundaries are those on the White River National Forest Map, delineating the boundaries of USFS, BLM and "Eagle County" (representing all state and private lands) without regard to the boundaries of individual municipalities and fire protection districts. b. Intra- County Mutual Aid Mutual aid is exchanged between the County, participating municipalities and fire protection district parties hereto. As to such mutual aid, the relevant jurisdictional boundaries are those of the municipalities, the fire protection districts and the County. c. County -wide Response When dispatched, participants will respond to wildfires in the County regardless of jurisdiction. The level of activity or involvement by assisting agencies making a response may vary. At a minimum, assisting agencies will send such personnel and equipment necessary to size -up the. fire and report the situation to the jurisdictional agency. Upon arrival, the initial attack incident commander will determine legal description and the need for appropriate jurisdictional fire investigator. E. County -wide Initial Attack The closest forces should be dispatched without regard to jurisdiction. Participants will initiate suppression activities regardless of jurisdiction when it is within their capability to do so. Assisting agencies will not initial attack fires on another jurisdiction if initial attack puts personnel at unreasonable risk, such as a remote fire discovered at night, or if asked to stand down by the jurisdictional agency. Agencies taking independent action within another agency's jurisdiction should notify that agency as soon as possible. The jurisdictional agency should assume responsibility for suppression at the earliest possible time, or as otherwise agreed. No party to this agreement shall be required to make resources or assistance available to the requesting party if by so doing would impair the party's ability to provide effective emergency services within its own service area. Eagle County AOP 2013 F. Dispatching and Resource Ordering Procedure Once the IC has determined need for additional resources beyond the scope of county resources, those resources will be ordered through the identified Interagency Dispatch Center. The Mutual Aid and Assistance Agreement between all Eagle County fire protection districts allows resources to be dispatched anywhere in the county, at the request of a fire protection district representative acting as incident commander. Coordination with Eagle County OEM for additional resources is available and recommended in order to avoid duplication of resources ordered. During Initial attack the sequence for requesting wildland resources from outside Eagle County for an Eagle County incident will be: Incident Commander - * Vail Dispatch or Pitkin Dispatch -+ Grand Junction Interagency Dispatch Center —> Providing Agency Dispatch Center The sequence for requesting air resources will be: Incident Commander --* GJC NOTE: GJC will advise Vail Dispatch or Pitkin Dispatch of air resources in Eagle County The sequence for requesting Eagle County resources for an out -of- county response will be: Incident Commander --+ Their Dispatch Center ---> Grand Junction Interagency Dispatch Center —> Vail Dispatch or Pitkin Dispatch --* Requested resource G. Reinforcements and Support All requests for additional resources beyond initial attack will be made by the applicable agency representative, using the ordering procedures outlined under section XI.F above. Vail Dispatch will ensure Eagle County OEM notification when resources are sent out of county. It shall be the responsibility of the Upper Colorado River USFS -BLM when responding to a wildfire on Denver Water lands to order needed assistance, or acquire replacements to relieve their initial attack crews or the crews of assisting agencies. H. Interagency Procurement Non - federal participants to this Plan may purchase fire suppression supplies through General Services Administration. Any other loaning, sharing, exchanging or maintenance of facilities, equipment or support services will be considered on a case -by -case basis as mutually agreed to by the concerned parties. 10 Eagle County AOP 2013 I. Interagency Use of Communication System/Frequencies Federal, State, and County radio systems are largely incompatible at this time; however, all fire agencies in Eagle County are equipped with the Fire Emergency Radio Network (VFIRE -21) and 800 MHz capabilities. VFIRE -21 (154.2800) and 800 MHz system channels may be used for interagency communication on a wildfire if one agency's operational channels are not compatible with another agency's radios. For the purpose of conducting business authorized by this Operating Plan, all parties to this Operating Plan agree that assisting agencies may use the jurisdictional agency's radio frequencies as needed to conduct emergency communications on fires. No participant to this Operating Plan will use, or authorize others to use, another agency's radio frequencies for purposes beyond the scope of this Operating Plan. Radio frequencies specifically authorized for use on wildfires are shown in EXHIBIT B. J. Wildland Fire Decision Support System Federal agencies will complete a Wildland Fire Decision Support System (WFDSS) on all fires on federal lands or Denver Water lands that escape initial attack to determine appropriate response. A Decision Support System (DSS) may be completed for fires that have the potential to be designated as an EFF fire or that affect multiple jurisdictions and have the potential to go into extended attack. DFPC may assist with a non -EFF DSS, but has no authority to sign on non -EFF fires. DFPC requires that a DSS be completed for all fires that receive a FEMA declaration and recommends a DSS is completed for all EFF fires. All agencies involved in extended attack on private and state lands will provide input to the DSS. The DFPC Agency Administrator will facilitate completion and review of the DSS for these fires. When a fire is burning on or threatens to burn on multiple jurisdictions, one DSS should be prepared that considers all jurisdictions and their interests. DFPC requires that an Emergency Fire Fund Analysis Form (DFPC -1, see EXHIBIT C) be prepared on all non - federal fires, including fires on Denver Water land, that have the potential to exceed County control capabilities. The County Sheriff, or his designee, should use this form to help determine if a fire might be eligible for EFF designation. K. STATE EMERGENCY FIRE FUND (EFF) Emergency Fire Fund (EFF) Procedures: Eagle County and Denver Water are participants in the State Emergency Fire Fund (EFF) with DFPC. As a participant to this agreement, the State agrees to come to the aid of Eagle County should suppression resource needs exceed county capability. Following are the roles and responsibilities under EFF: 11 Eagle County AOP 2013 DFPC: A DFPC representative must be on site for an EFF evaluation. DFPC will assist the county sheriff in the analysis of the wildfire's actual or potential condition to exceed the county's suppression capability. This information will be provided to the DFPC Director (or designee), who will make the final decision on EFF applicability. It is the duty of the Regional FMO or their representative to evaluate and report the situation to the Director of DFPC and to formally request implementation of EFF. Eagle County Sheriff: as Fire Warden for the County (CRS 30 -10 -513), the Sheriff will represent the County in the request for EFF declaration to the DFPC district, and subsequent delegations and assumptions of duty (DFPC #4, #6). The Sheriff will coordinate other County entities in his representation. The County Sheriff or his designee is responsible for initiating a written analysis of the fire to help determine if a request for EFF implementation is warranted. Eagle County Commissioners: are signatories to the DFPC #4 "Assumption of Fire Control Duty" for fires the State Forester approves for EFF. The Sheriff will facilitate obtaining a signature from the County Commissioners. Delay in signing the DFPC #4 may result in increased costs for the county. Federal Agencies: are almost always involved even when the fire is entirely on private or state land. Their policies and concerns must be addressed on all fires. All EFF fires will utilize a Unified Command consisting of, at a minimum, the County Sheriff and DFPC. If land administered by another agency is threatened or involved, that agency will provide a member of the Unified Command. Implementation of the EFF can be done only by the Director of DFPC upon the recommendation of the local DFPC Regional FMO, following a request from the County Sheriff. For this reason, it is important that the DFPC Regional FMO be notified immediately of major fires on private /state lands within the county. Should the fire surpass, or threaten to surpass, the ability of county resources to contain it, EFF implementation can occur only with a DFPC representative on scene. All EFF participating Counties must have identified a minimum county commitment to any incident which has EFF potential. This is not a maximum county resource commitment, and is not the only resources the county is required to use on the incident in order to request EFF implementation. If tactics of a given incident make some of this equipment inappropriate, alternate resources or combination of resources can be negotiated. Eagle County minimum commitment is: 4 Engines 1 Dozer 1 Water Tender 1 Ambulance Logistical Support appropriate to fire complexity and availability of county resources 12 Eagle County AOP 2013 DFPC will transfer command of an EFF fire back to the county when fire spread has been contained, the DFPC Agency Administrator's objectives have been met, and a written plan has been prepared for the next operational period. The forms listed above, DFPC 1, 2, 3 and minimum county resource commitment is shown in EXIIIBIT C. L. Traffic Control Traffic control will be provided by the appropriate law enforcement agency, upon request, to expedite the routing of vehicles to and from major fires and to exclude unauthorized personnel from the fire area. M. Law Enforcement and Fire Investigation It will be the responsibility of the jurisdictional agency to take appropriate law enforcement action. Law enforcement personnel from non jurisdictional agencies may assist, upon request, from the jurisdictional agency. The jurisdictional agency will have responsibility for investigating fires and any civil or criminal actions taken. The County will coordinate fire investigation for EFF fires. Assisting agencies will cooperate with fire investigations, upon request, of the jurisdictional agency(ies). Assisting agencies will make every effort to identify, protect and report all evidence to the jurisdictional agency. N. Post Incident Action Analysis Post incident analysis of events and actions taken by suppression forces during wildland fires will be conducted by the jurisdictional agency commensurate with the complexity of the incident. O. Incident Qualifications Incident qualification cards (red cards) may not be required for initial attack of fires within Eagle County; however, firefighters without red cards may be released from an incident by the authorized representative of the jurisdictional agency. The authorized representative of the jurisdictional agency will coordinate the release of assisting agency personnel through the ranking officer /representative of the assisting agency. P. Fire operations in Bark Beetle Killed Stands Due to altered fuel conditions, personnel operating within the bark beetle environment should be aware of the imminent danger presented by dead and dying trees, falling at an increasing rate across a broad forested landscape. Included in EXHIBIT D is the USFS -R2 Fire Operations Guidance in Bark Beetle Stands XI. AVIATION PROCEDURES A. Aviation Requests and Operations All requests for air support resources should be made to the Grand Junction Interagency Dispatch 13 Eagle County AOP 2013 Center. When aircraft is requested by aM agency for suppression efforts, the request must include the following: • Name and agency of person ordering • Name and location, geographical or township /range • Ground Contact with air to ground frequency (FM A/G frequencies) Additional information that is helpful: • Lat/Long in preferred datum WGS 84 degrees /minutes /decimal minutes • Elevation of fire • Other aircraft in the area, including radio frequencies in use • Aircraft hazards in the area • Current threats and values at risk Personnel whom are ordering aircraft are encouraged to use the Air Support Request form in EXHIBIT E. Initial order for aircraft may be authorized by the local on -scene incident commander. Requests for additional air support resources beyond this initial request must be authorized by the jurisdictional agency. The County Sheriff or his designee will notify the DFPC Regional FMO INMEDIATELY when aircraft is ordered for a non - federal fire. Grand Junction Interagency Dispatch Center will make a courtesy call to DFPC whenever the county orders air support resources. B. DFPC Single Engine Air Tankers (SEAT) Single engine air tankers may be pre - positioned at the Kremmling or Rifle airport when a combination of factors or events warrant having an aircraft in the area. Requests for pre - positioning will be made by the County Sheriff through the DFPC Regional FMO. Conditions that may warrant pre - positioning a SEAT include: • Multiple fire starts within a 72 -hour period • High occurrence of dry lightning • Persistent Red Flag Warnings • Local resources are occupied with other assignments • Other factors as determined by the Sheriff or DFPC Regional FMO Eagle County airport will not be used for SEAT operations due to performance issues for fully loaded SEATS maneuvering in the narrow valley near the airport. C. Leadplane /Air Attack Activation Heavy air tankers are dispatched with a leadplane when one is available. Single engine air tankers may be dispatched without a leadplane if the pilot is initial attack qualified. Aerial supervision (Air Attack or Lead Plane) will be ordered when multiple aircraft are over the fire at one time or if requested by pilots on scene. 14 Eagle County AOP 2013 D. Wildfire Emergency Response Fund The Wildfire Emergency Response Fund (Ref: Colorado State Statue (CRS 24- 33.5 -1209) was created to assist local jurisdictions with initial attack wildland fire response on state and private lands within the state of Colorado. Any County Sheriff, municipal fire department, or fire protection district within Colorado may request WERF as the official Requesting Agency. WERF will reimburse, if funds are available, the Requesting Agency the cost of eligible wildland firefighting resources. The fund will be utilized as outlined in the attached WERF Guidelines, EXHIBIT E. XH. FIRE PREVENTION A. Information and Education Each agency will prepare and release fire prevention material and radio/TV presentations according to their own prevention plans. Coordination with cooperating agencies will be followed in order to prevent a conflict in released material. All releases for fire prevention will carry USFS, DFPC, fire district and County Sheriff acknowledgements. Eagle County Joint Information Center will be utilized to disseminate information, as needed. Fire prevention signs will be maintained as required by each agency for lands under their jurisdiction. The Grand Junction Interagency Dispatch Center (GJC) will monitor local fire danger levels. GJC will make fire weather watches, Red.Flag warning bulletins and other fire information available to cooperators via the Internet: http: / /www.fs.fed.us /r2 /fire /rmacc.htrnl B. Burning Permits Parties to this Agreement have the responsibility of issuing burning permits in their respective jurisdictions. The burning permit shall require the holder to notify Vail or Pitkin dispatch of controlled burning on all land(s) prior to ignition. In addition, all pertinent state and federal regulations will be followed. Permits require both Eagle County and appropriate fire jurisdiction signatures. C. Burning Restrictions /Closures Restrictions governing use of open fires during hazardous periods will be a coordinated effort of cooperating agencies. A flow chart that outlines the procedures for implementing and rescinding fire restrictions is attached as EXHIBIT F. 15 Eagle County AOP 2013 XIII. FUELS MANAGEMENT AND PRESCRIBED FIRE CONSIDERATIONS The participants to this Operating Plan will cooperate in the development and implementation of prescribed burning programs and projects including planned ignitions, wildland fire use and modified control strategies and tactics applied to fires within remote areas. The Eagle County Community Wildfire Protection Plan includes prioritized wildfire mitigation project areas. Wildfires resulting from escaped prescribed fires ignited by a party to this Operating Plan, shall be the responsibility of that party. The party responsible for the prescribed fire will reimburse other parties to this Plan consistent with the terms and conditions contained herein for costs incurred in suppression of such fires. If parties to this Plan conduct a cooperative prescribed fire, details covering cost sharing, reimbursement, and responsibility for suppression costs, should it escape, shall be agreed upon and documented in the burn plan. XIV. COST REIMBURSEMENTS Parties seeking reimbursement of costs incurred hereunder shall provide written invoices including the authority for charging the costs and a reasonable description of the manner in which the costs were calculated. The parties shall seek reimbursement of any reimbursable costs incurred hereunder based upon the cost sharing principles of this agreement and in accordance with section 29 -20- 105.5, C.R.S. After July 1, 2010, indirect costs charged to Eagle County Government by or on behalf of Colorado State University (CSU) and/or Division of Fire Prevention and Control (DFPC) for or relating to services provided hereunder, including but not limited to handling fees for administering invoices submitted by entities that provided fire suppression and related services and equipment, shall not exceed 13% of the direct costs accepted and invoiced. F.Wti 04 10v I IIII _ 0 5U01W Costs incurred by a Jurisdictional or Local Response Agency for services that exceed federal Mutual Aid fire protection shall be reimbursed by the applicable Jurisdictional Agency. To be reimbursable, services provided by such assisting agencies beyond Mutual Aid fire protection must be requested by the applicable Federal Jurisdictional Agency. Any costs incurred by Jurisdictional Agencies for the initial attack period and beyond, and for additional time or efforts which may be requested by the Division of Fire Prevention and Control or Denver Water, shall be considered reimbursable, as funds are available, following approval by the Division of Fire Prevention and Control. An agency that provides a reasonable initial attack response on Denver Water lands when the jurisdictional agency is unable to respond, may also request reimbursement as funds are available, from the Denver Water. Payment for reimbursable costs on Denver Water lands require that DFPC be notified of fires by the responding agency. Cost Share Principles: When fire occurs on lands of more than one Jurisdictional Agency 16 Eagle County AOP 2013 and costs are incurred beyond the scope of Mutual Aid fire protection, costs will be borne by each agency proportional to the size of the burned area on each agency's jurisdictional area or as mutually agreed upon by the unified command. When a fire is accepted by the State as an EFF incident, the Cost Share Principles agreed to by State and federal agencies apply, see EXHIBIT G. B. NONREIMBURSABLE COSTS The County and Fire Districts/Department hereby agree that each of their respective directly incurred costs relating to the provision of fire response and suppression activities on private property in Eagle County are not reimbursable from or to each other. Except as otherwise specifically provided for herein, each party hereto agrees to assume responsibility for its own expenses during the Mutual Aid Period. C. REIMBURSEMENT PROCEDURES If reimbursement for any incident is agreed to at the local level, the Local Response Agency may invoice the Jurisdictional Agency directly If deemed necessary, the County may aggregate expenses incurred by the County and Local response Agencies to suppress fires on federal jurisdictions and may present an invoice for such expenses to DFPC who will then reimburse the County and Local Response Agencies and subsequently bill the jurisdictional federal agency or agencies. Federal agencies may submit bills and statements for reimbursements from County and/or Local Response Agencies for federal suppression on non - federal lands to DFPC. DFPC will make such reimbursement and subsequently invoice the County or Local response Agency as appropriate. Cooperator reimbursement procedures, forms, and examples are contained in EXHIBIT H, as part of this agreement. DENVER WATER LANDS Payment for reimbursable costs on Denver Water lands must be coordinated through the local DFPC District Office. Contact DFPC Granby District office for assistance in preparing reimbursement requests for Denver Water wildland fire suppression response. D. Resource Use Rates Cooperative Resource Rate Forms (CRRF) will show the rates of equipment that may be used on a wildland fire. Resources listed on a CRRF are considered Mutual Aid resources and, as such, will not be billed for during the mutual aid period. Cooperating agencies must have an approved CRRF to be available in ROSS for out of local area dispatch. Resources assigned to a state EFF fire from the cooperating agency without a current CRRF will be reimbursed using established standard state cooperator equipment rates. Cooperator 17 Eagle County AOP 2013 equipment should not be signed up using an Emergency Equipment Rental Agreement (EERA). Cooperators that choose not to complete the Cooperative Resource Rate Form will be reimbursed at the current established standard state cooperator equipment rates. See Cooperative Resource Rate Forms, EXIIIBIT I. 18 Eagle County AOP 2013 XV. GENERAL PROCEDURES A. Periodic Program Reviews Program reviews will be conducted at the annual fire operating plan meeting. B. Annual Review The parties shall meet at least annually, before the beginning of the wildland fire season, to review and, if appropriate, to propose amendments to this Eagle County Annual Wildfire Operating Plan, with a goal of having any such amendments or replacement plan formally renewed not later than May 1 of each year and be coordinated with the Umbrella Agreements. Proposed amendments shall take effect upon execution by all of the parties hereto. If no changes are made, a statement letter with signatures of all parties to this operating plan will be distributed. C. Resolution of Disputes The primary purpose of this Operating Plan is to ensure prompt suppression of wildland fires. Any interagency dispute arising from these procedures will be resolved on site by the Unified or MACS .Command Group. When necessary, following the conclusion of the incident, a panel of agency representatives, other than the parties involved in the incident, will review and resolve the dispute. XVI.

The following chart should be used as a guideline for deciding the level of incident management team needed for an incident. It is designed to help analyze the complexity or predicted complexity of a given fire situation. Assumptions are: When a fire escapes initial attack, it is automatically considered for an incident management team. A Type 4, Type 3, Type 2, or a Type 1 team should manage it, depending on complexity level. 2. As a fire situation becomes more complex, so does the need for a Type 1 team to handle a predicted Type 1 situation. Instructions for using this guideline: 1. Carefully analyze each secondary element under the listed primary factors, and check response column either yes or no. 2. Decisions should be based on the number of yes answers under the primary factors. As a rule of thumb, if the majority of the seven primary factors have secondary elements answered with a "yes," the complexity is great enough to warrant a Type I effort. If the majority of the seven primary factors do not have two or more secondary elements answered with a "yes," the complexity should remain at the IMG or Type II level. It should be emphasized that this analysis is based on predictions for the next burning period. Obviously, if the analysis is on the present situations and one of the primary factors is checked, a Type 1 situation already exists. A. SAFETY Yes No 1. Fixed wing and helicopters both involved. 2. More than one fuel type involved. 3. Extended exposure to risk or unusually hazardous line conditions. 4. Serious accident or fatality.

Purpose and Intent Fire Operations Guidance is mindful of Foundational Fire Suppression Doctrine in the Forest Service. The first principle is: No resource or facility is worth the loss of human life, however the wildland fire suppression environment is complex and possesses inherent hazards that can -- -even with reasonable mitigation - -- result in harm to fire fighters engaged in fire suppression operations. In recognition of this fact, we are committed to the aggressive management of risk. This guidance provides a collection of potential hazards unique to bark beetle forests, including appropriate practices that have evolved over time within the wildland fire service. It does not provide absolute solutions to the unlimited number of situations that will occur. This guidance within bark beetle stands was provided with the intention of being used in conjunction with existing fire risk management documents. No further protocols or rules are necessary to make informed risk management decisions for fire operations in bark beetle stands. The following hazard guidance is provided: Tactical Hazards Withdrawal and/or reassessment should be considered if any of the following are present: • Thunderstorms in the immediate vicinity. • Wind speeds are strong enough that canopy movement is observed' (Consider that wind speeds at eye level in sheltered areas may not indicate the much greater winds aloft) • Reliable communication cannot be established with the appropriate Dispatch Center and remain in place 24/7 when resources are engaged. Due to limited ingress or egress in remote areas or in terrain without vantage points, consider using an aerial platform for risk assessment and size up. Potential Fire Behavior Hazards • Due to increased potential of extreme fire behavior, when ERCs approach the 90th percentile, air reconnaissance should be on scene within 1 hour of detection. • The following situations, though possible on any wildfire, may be accentuated in bark beetle stands: • Accelerated transition to crown fire (when needles are present) • Increased rate of spread (Surface fire) • Resistance to control (Heavy dead and down) • Frequent spotting, including long range ( >.25 miles) 1 Beaufort Scale for Estimating 20 -FT Wind speed, 2010 IRPG page 77 March 22, 2010 Exhibit E Wildfire Emergency Response Fund (WIERF) Wildfire Emergency Response Fund (WERF) 2012 Guidelines The Wildfire Emergency Response Fund (Ref: Colorado State Statue CRS 23 -31 -309) was created to assist local jurisdictions with initial attack wildland fire response on state and private lands within the state of Colorado. Any County Sheriff, municipal fire department, or fire protection district within Colorado may request WERF as the official Requesting Agency. WERF will reimburse, if funds are available, the Requesting Agency the cost of eligible wildland firefighting resources. ELIGIBLE FOR WERF Both an aerial resource and a hand crew on the same incident. AERIAL RESOURCES I" hour of firefighting helicopter rotor time + pilot time OR 1" aerial tanker flight + drop + retardant AMD- carded & USFS- carded pilots, if federal resources involved HAND CREW One hand crew for up to two operational periods, beginning from time of departure to fire. Preference for State inmate crews. Type 1, Type 2 Initial Attack, or Type 2 NWCG- qualified crews There are often additional costs associated with the use of aircraft and hand crews. NOT ELIGIBLE FOR WERF AERIAL RESOURCES Fixed wing aircraft reimbursement does not include lead plane or aerial observer aircraft. Additional helicopter personnel (helicopter crew) Ferry time /flight time to bring aerial resource to Colorado Fuel truck Chase truck HAND CREW Two hand crews for one operational period Travel time to bring hand crew from outside Colorado Crew logistics of lodging, camping, and per diem Consult the County Annual Operating Plan for the local, state, and federal dispatch procedures to order WERF resources. The Requesting Agency must notify the local Colorado State Forest Service (CSFS) District of each WERF request. The CSFS District will within 72 hours email the CSFS Fire Division at firebill eolostate.edu who requested (sheriff, fire chief, etc.), fire name, resource name, and date of use. Since the CSFS has been tasked by the Colorado State Legislature to administer and manage this fund, it is critical that CSFS receives notification of any and all WERF requests to maintain an accurate balance of the fund. Rev. 1/3/2012 Air Support Request Form Grand Junction Interagency Dispatch 970 - 257 -4800 Incident Commanders are encouraged to contact Grand Junction Air Center Dispatch directly with their request for aviation resources. Prior to making that request the following information should be collected. This information will help facilitate a faster response. In order to request aviation resources call 970 - 257 -4800 and ask to talk with the Floor Coordinator. Your Name /Agency: Resource(s) Requested: ❑ Helicopter F] Type1 ❑ Type 2 ❑ Type 3 Single Engine Air Tanker (SEAT) Heavy Air Tanker Loaded with: F] Retardant 1-1 Water R Foam Have or will HARTS be ordered? If yes, advise Grand Junction Dispatch immediately. Fire Name /Jurisdiction: Fire Location: (Lat /Long or geographic location, no addresses) Known Hazards: Ground Contact: (Must be able to tx /rx on air to ground frequency, no work or FERN, this is for pilot safety—these frequencies can be assigned by Grand Junction Interagency Dispatch.) Wind Speed /Direction: Values at Risk: (structures, highway traffic, etc.) Time and Date Requested: Things to consider when considering aviation resources: 1. Lead plane and aerial observer (air attack) are not covered under WERE See WERF guidelines for aviation information. 2. Wind decreases aircraft capabilities and effectiveness. If a fire is burning actively because of high winds it is unlikely that aviation resources will be of much value. The maximum winds that fire aviation resources can operate in are between 20 and 30 knots. 3. Fire aircraft do not operate on fires after dark. Some aircraft have to be on the ground one half hour after sunset. Check to local time and make sure that there is enough daylight to fly the mission. 4. Pick the right aircraft for the mission. A helicopter with a bucket can do a lot of good if there is a good water source available. Helicopters are restricted from flying with buckets over major highways or congested areas. Single and multiple engine air tankers are better for more remote areas and areas with over -flight of roads or communities. 5. Air tankers cannot drop retardant near open water. Retardant is highly toxic to fish even in low concentrations. If your mission is near a river, creek, lake or ponds consider asking the aircraft to be loaded with water. 6. Our goal is to get everyone operational on the designated Air /Ground frequencies. There are a few times when this may not be the case due to frequency changes or congestion. If, you do not have the capability of communicating with an aircraft on one of the designated air /ground frequencies, you will need to let dispatch know what actual frequency you will be on. Terms like "Channel 3" or "Fire B" have no meaning to pilots. Instead of saying "TAC 2" you would say "154.295 ". It is highly advisable to have a dedicated Air /Ground frequency anytime that aircraft are used. Trying to combine tactical and aviation traffic on the same frequency leads to congestion and confusion. 7. Aircraft are very expensive to operate. If you have ordered an aircraft consider having one person whose sole responsibility is to monitor that air to ground frequency and avoid the delay and expense associated with problems with initial contact. 8. Telephone lines and other aviation hazards are difficult to see from the air. Advise the aircraft of these or other aviation hazards in the fire area. 9. The ground contact is responsible for making sure that the drop area is clear of personnel and equipment. It is difficult for fixed wing aircraft to see much detail on the ground and the pilots will rely on you to ensure that the drop zone is clear. The pilot will usually ask "is the line clear ?" If you tell him `The line is clear." he will make the drop based on your call. 10. After a drop provide feedback to the pilot concerning its accuracy and effectiveness: Also let the pilot know if you want any additional drops or if they should hold.

General Information This document provides guidelines for Colorado State cooperators during the incident assignment and reimbursement process. The Cooperator Resource Rate Form (CRRF) is the basis for the reimbursement process. CRRFs should have been completed prior to the fire season as part of county Annual Operating Plans (AOPs). All current CRRFs are effective from date of signature through April 30, 2014. Departments must have an approved CRRF to be available in ROSS for out of local area dispatch. Resources assigned to a Colorado State EFF fire from a department without a current CRRF will be reimbursed using current standard state cooperator equipment rates (see Attachment 13). Cooperator equipment should not be signed up using an Incident -Only Emergency Equipment Rental Agreement (EERA). Additional information regarding Colorado cooperators can be found in the current Rocky Mountain supplement to Chapter 50 of the Interagency Incident Business Management Handbook (IIBMH). Standard DFPC reimbursement forms have been developed to facilitate completion and review of expense documentation. Utilization of these forms will facilitate prompt payment of reimbursement requests. All current forms for 2013 are attached. Copies of these guidelines and forms are posted on the DFPC website: www.dfs.state.co.us . Any expense reimbursed to a department by DFPC but disallowed by the incident agency payment office will be billed back to the cooperator. Mutual aid time and expense should be identified in the documentation submitted to DFPC but not included in the reimbursement request. Resource order documentation is required for incident reimbursement. A resource order with completed "fill' information (not showing "pending ") should be requested from the dispatch center prior to beginning travel to the first incident. Request copies of resource orders for subsequent incidents, but the initial resource order can be used for all incidents during a single mobilization. Provide explanation if no resource order is included with an invoice. Reimbursement for personnel and equipment time will be based on all properly documented on -shift time (i.e., work, travel and ordered standby). No portal to portal reimbursements (i.e., in pay status 24 hours /day from time of departure to time of return to home unit) will be approved, without specific incident documentation and explanation. If the incident authorizes and documents a period of 24 -hour pay status, the department may be reimbursed for that expense. B. Incident Reimbursement Process Overview 1. Cooperator responsibilities: - Pre - mobilization - have current approved CRRF 2013 Colorado Cooperator Reimbursement Guidelines 2 - ensure equipment and personnel meet NWCG standards - status resources in ROSS with appropriate dispatch center - Mobilization - accept incident assignment - request copy of "filled" resource order - travel safely to incident; keep record of travel time and expense - work/rest (2/1) applies, 10 hr driving time /person /day - travel not recommended between 2200 and 0600 hours - Check in at incident - request pre -use inspection for equipment - provide copy of CRRF and CTR/ST for travel to finance personnel - On incident - turn time in daily (CTR and ST) - notify and document injuries or illnesses promptly - notify and document equipment loss or damage promptly - Demobilization - check out through proper channels on incident - get original payment documents from finance - travel home safely; keep record of travel time and expense work/rest (2/1) applies, 10 hr driving time /person /day - travel not recommended between 2200 and 0600 hours - Submit reimbursement request documentation within 30 days of return - standard cooperator invoice for each incident - resource order copy - deductions for mutual aid time and expense, when applicable - original finance documents from incident - expense documentation for personnel, travel, equipment, fuel - explanation for any missing required documentation submit directly to DFPC Fort Collins office 2. DFPC responsibilities: - Email notification of receipt of invoice - Payment process - review and approval - request payment - copy of adjustments emailed to cooperator - payment by State of Colorado warrant (check) or electronic deposit C. Personnel Cooperators will be reimbursed for actual personnel payroll expenses incurred for payments to employees from incident assignments. Reimbursement to the cooperator for full- or part-time employees will be at current department pay rates. If a portion of the time documented is for mutual aid, no reimbursement should be requested. 2013 Colorado Cooperator Reimbursement Guidelines 3 Pay rates for personnel paid on an incident -only basis (volunteers and supplemental resources) will be reimbursed based on the assigned position at the rate identified in the Supplemental ResourceNolunteer Position Pay Rate Matrix (Attachment 1), unless otherwise determined by DFPC in advance. Rates are based on each incident assignment, not the highest qualification of an individual. See Section D and Attachment 1 for current supplemental resource pay rate details. When billing for personnel time, cooperators will identify pay rates as well as base and overtime /premium hours for each day of assignment on an incident. No portal to portal reimbursements (i.e., in pay status 24 hours /day from time of departure to time of return to home unit) will be approved, without specific incident documentation and explanation. The Individual Salary Breakdown form (Attachment 5) should be used unless an alternate format has been approved by DFPC incident business staff. The Personnel Resource Listing form (Attachment 2) should be included with the first invoice submitted for the calendar year if not already submitted to DFPC for 2013. Remember that work/rest guidelines (1 hour rest for each 2 hours of work) apply to travel time and driving regulations limit an individual's driving time to 10 hours per day. Cooperators should request the original copy of the Emergency Firefighter Time Report (OF -288) when demobing from an incident. The form should be signed by both the individual and the incident. Provide explanation if original documents are not received from the incident agency. Social security numbers are never needed for incident documentation, and should not be written on any OF -288. The original Crew Time Reports (SF -261) will be retained by the incident; they are not required to be submitted with OF -288 for reimbursement. Employees should retain the yellow CTR copies. Remember, an individual should not sign the CTR (or OF -288) to authorize their own time. Time for fire assignments should be approved by direct incident supervisor on the CTR or OF -288, not by home unit/department personnel. Do not make changes to OF -288s after the document has been reviewed and signed by incident finance personnel. Exception: travel time may be filled in if left open by incident personnel when being released from the incident. If return travel time is estimated and recorded on the OF -288 at the incident prior to demobilization, a CTR with actual return travel time should be included with reimbursement request. Meal breaks taken should be shown during travel. If an error is discovered on the OF -288, include a copy of the appropriate yellow copy of the CTR with an explanation of correction(s) needed with reimbursement documentation. DFPC staff will review and document the requested correction. 2013 Colorado Cooperator Reimbursement Guidelines 4 Time actually spent by crew member(s) to rehab equipment (engines and tenders only) upon return from the incident maybe included in the reimbursement request. Actual time spent up to a maximum of four (4) hours may be reimbursed if needed for equipment rehab. The personnel expense should be identified separately at the individual's hourly rate. A rehab maintenance factor has already been included in the standard state cooperator equipment rates, so no additional equipment time will be reimbursed for the equipment. Acceptable personnel costs for reimbursement may include: a. Salary as direct compensation to personnel, for both regular and overtime /premium pay. b. Salary for backfill employees needed to cover for full -time employees on an incident assignment. c. Benefits, including health, life & disability; unemployment; Medicare; workers compensation insurance; retirement, leave /vacation, etc. The cooperator may hire incident - only /supplemental resource personnel for incident assignments and will be reimbursed at the appropriate pay rate for the ICS position as assigned on each mobilization. Benefits charged should include, at a minimum, cost of workers compensation coverage, but cost of other benefits can be reimbursed, if provided to the employee. (See Section D for additional information.) When the OF -288s and OF -286s are not prepared by the incident agency, time worked on local assignments may be documented with signed original CTRs and STs. These original time - keeping documents must be submitted to DFPC for reimbursement. There is no need to create the OF -288 or OF -286 at the home department if they aren't initiated by the incident agency. Expenses for training, operating, PPE, annual physicals, etc., for department personnel are not considered direct employee compensation and will not be reimbursed. Cooperators must submit an annual Personnel Resource List (Attachment 2) to DFPC by April 1 of each year or include that information with the first request for reimbursement. Periodic documentation reviews by DFPC staff may be done as needed. D. Supplemental Resource Guidelines There are situations when additional support personnel are necessary for national mobilization and the need can be filled by supplemental personnel available to the department. When this situation arises, resources will be mobilized via the process outlined here and documented with the current Cooperator Resource Rate Form (CRRF) component of the Statewide Annual Operating Plan (SAOP) and in each county AOP. 2013 Colorado Cooperator Reimbursement Guidelines 5 When mobilizing Supplemental Resources outside of the fire district, the following will apply, based on NWCG #004 -2009 dated 2/6/09. For purposes of this exhibit, the following definition of Supplemental Resources will apply: "Supplemental Fire Department Resources - Overhead tied to a local fire department generally by agreement who are mobilized primarily for response to incidents /wildland fires outside of their district or mutual aid zone. They are not a permanent part of the local fire organization and are not required to attend scheduled training, meetings, etc. of the department staff." While on assignment, these individuals are department employees and the department will be reimbursed for their actual costs as defined in this document. D.1. Mobilization Mobilization will follow established ordering procedures as identified in the Kational, Geographic, and Local Mobilization Guides. Resources will be mobilized by the Host Dispatch Zone in which the department is located. Personnel will be provided a copy of the resource order request after confirmation of availability and prior to departure from their home jurisdiction. Resource orders shall clearly indicate incident assignment, incident location, expected incident arrival time, and any additional special needs or equipment authorizations (e.g. cell phones, laptops, rental vehicles, etc.). D.2. Reimbursable Costs Reimbursable costs for personnel include compensation rates for hours worked, benefits, transportation, and per diem. It is the intent of this provision that the Supplemental Resource be paid a regular compensation rate for all hours worked plus an overtime compensation rate for actual overtime hours worked, including travel. Reimbursable costs shall not include portal to portal pay or the employee portion of benefits. Travel and per diem reimbursements will be based on the Federal Travel Regulations. Backfill is not reimbursable for personnel hired as Supplemental Resources. An indirect cost allowance equal to ten percent (10 %) of the direct salary and wage cost of providing the service (excluding overtime, shift premiums, and fringe benefits) is allowed (per OMB Circular A -87). D.3. Personnel Qualifications All personnel will possess an active Incident Qualification System Incident Qualification Card commensurate with all current and applicable NWCG 310 -1 standards for training and qualifications. Personnel will be qualified for their assigned positions. Each department is responsible for annually certifying and maintaining the qualifications of their Supplemental Resources. Each department will bear the cost of training for their Supplemental Resources. 2013 Colorado Cooperator Reimbursement Guidelines Any personnel to be mobilized under this exhibit will be listed on Personnel Resource List form (Attachment 2) by name, position(s), and identified as a single resource. This Attachment 2 will be maintained with CRRFs by the DFPC Fort Collins office. While on assignment, these individuals are department employees and each department will be reimbursed for their actual costs. D.4. Rate Determination The basis for the computation of base hourly rate is the classification level of the position filled according to the Supplemental Resource Position Pay Rate Matrix (Attachment 1). Personnel are hired at the rate of the position being filled, not their highest qualification. The hourly compensation rates identified in the AOP are computed as follows: 1) Regular Compensation Rate: The rates listed include base hourly rate determined above plus employee benefits. Employee benefits include those costs actually incurred by the department for the employment of these individuals, such as employer liability, workers compensation, employer share of social security, etc. 2) Overtime Compensation Rate: Overtime compensation rates are paid based on a seven (7) day work week beginning on day one (1) of mobilization. Compensation rates are paid at time and a half of the base hourly rate for all hours worked in excess of eight (8) hours per day for the first five (5) days and full time and one half for all hours worked during the remainder of the work week. Compensation includes travel time. 3) Hazard Pay Rate: While the NWCG direction provides for hazard pay premium compensation, as the sponsoring agency, DFPC's standard business practices do not include hazard pay for state employees or cooperators. Therefore, hazard pay will not be afforded to supplemental resources. D.5. Days off at Incident Days off at the incident will be paid for 8 hours. Work/rest guidelines will be followed and mandatory days off will follow current guidelines (IIBMH Chapter 10). Once travel to the home unit commences, days off will not be paid. D.6. Transportation and Per Diem Per diem reimbursements will be based on the Federal Travel Regulations. The payment rate for privately -owned vehicles (POVs) used to support Supplemental Resources shall be at the current Federal Travel Regulation rate. E. Days Off and Assignment Extensions All personnel should be prepared for 14 days on an assignment, unless released earlier by the incident and not reassigned. Departments should not rotate personnel prior to the end of the 14 -day assignment, except in emergency circumstances. Crew swaps will 2013 Colorado Cooperator Reimbursement Guidelines 7 be coordinated through the incident agency and the interagency dispatch system. Any department replacement earlier than requested by the incident agency will be at the department's expense and not reimbursed, except for circumstances requiring emergency demobilization. The incident may request to keep resources longer than 14 days. Assignment Extension procedures as defined in the National Mob Guide and IIBMH will be followed. Crew rotations may be requested by incidents and will be coordinated, processed and paid for through the incident agency dispatch process. The cost of crew rotation /swaps at the request of the incident will be reimbursed to the cooperator. Personnel are entitled to two (2) days off following return to their home unit from a 14- day assignment (exclusive of travel), according to current IIBMH guidelines (Chapter 10, page 10 -21): "Day 1" occurs on "the first full operational period at the first incident or reporting location..." The department may be reimbursed for expense of paid days off for full -time personnel provided day(s) off are regular work days and occur on the day(s) immediately following return travel. If days off are provided during the assignment and occur on the employee's regular work days, department expense for those base hours will be reimbursed. When the firefighter is provided days off during the incident and extends for another 14 days (i.e., 14 days work, 2 days off, 14 days work, exclusive of travel), and when the entire assignment covers 30 days, only then will the employee be entitled to an additional two (2) days off upon return to the home unit. If days off (either at the incident or after return) occur on an employee's regular day off, no salary expense will be reimbursed. Supplemental resources and volunteers will be compensated for 8 hours on days off when given at the incident, but are not entitled to paid days off after return from an incident. Equipment (engines and tenders) is not entitled to the daily guarantee on days off when given at the incident. F. Travel Expense Travel expenses will be reimbursed to the cooperator for eligible expenses paid to their employees. Individual Travel Breakdown form (Attachment 7) is to be completed for each traveler, identifying overnight locations and applicable per diem rate(s). Per diem will be reimbursed only for meals provided during travel to and from an incident. Meal receipts are not needed for per diem reimbursement. Standard Continental US (CONUS) per diem rates, based on overnight location, will be the 2013 Colorado Cooperator Reimbursement Guidelines maximum reimbursed. Current per diem rates can be found at http: / /www.osa.gov /portal/content/l 04877. Reimbursement for meals or lodging should not be claimed when assigned to an incident base where food and sleeping areas are provided. When all meals and lodging is provided by the incident, firefighters are entitled to the current Incidental rate reimbursement for each day on the incident. See GSA website above for current rate. Provide an explanation or IMT documentation when asked to provide own meals and /or lodging during the incident. Deductions may be made if invoice documentation does not support return travel time claimed. Itemized receipts are required for lodging and other miscellaneous expenses. Credit card receipts alone are not acceptable documentation for reimbursement. Personal items such as ice, pop, coffee, snacks, postcards, film, etc., purchased are not reimbursable without a resource order specific to those purchases. Those miscellaneous expenses are included in the Incidental reimbursement. When cost of overnight lodging is claimed, additional add -on room expenses (movies, personal phone calls, laundry, etc.) are not reimbursable. Airline bag charges will be reimbursed with appropriate receipts. Typically, overweight and oversized baggage fees for commercial flights will not be reimbursed by DFPC, unless the traveler has specific resource order authorization for these additional charges. (See National Interagency Mobilization Guide, Chapter 10 for current weight allowances and exceptions.) In addition, airline seat upgrade fees are not a reimbursable expense. Use of an employee's privately owned vehicle (POV) for travel to an incident should be authorized by the ordering dispatch center at the time of dispatch, and noted on the resource order. Personal vehicles are reimbursed the current mileage rate (see GSA website above) as a travel expense. An Emergency Equipment Shift Ticket (OF -297), signed by the incident supervisor, should be completed with odometer readings to document POV use on the incident, but completion of an OF -286 Equip Use Invoice is not required. Include documentation of start and stop locations for mileage reimbursement. Privately owned vehicles should not be signed up on a CRRF or Incident -Only EERA. Fueling of POVs from a fuel tender at an incident should be posted to the OF -288 as a deduction. The mileage reimbursement provides compensation for fuel. Use of a POV on an operational assignment is at the discretion of the owner, if requested for other than traveling to and from the incident. The incident should be able to provide suitable transportation for line assignments or transportation needed during the assignment. When an individual is compensated for POV mileage, any damage that occurs during that assignment will be the responsibility of the owner. It is recommended 2013 Colorado Cooperator Reimbursement Guidelines 9 that employees consult their insurance company to confirm appropriate coverage for business use of personal vehicles, even for travel to and from an incident. Expense for a rental vehicle will only be reimbursed when authorized on the original resource order, or through a support resource order issued by the incident. Fuel purchased for rental vehicles will be reimbursed with receipt copies. Use of a personal credit card or not is at the discretion of the firefighter, but when using a personal card for vehicle rental, accept all insurance coverages provided by the rental agency as these charges are reimbursable. Typically, only vehicles acquired by a buying team for use through the Ground Support Unit on an incident are covered for off -road use and the normal insurance coverage offered may not cover damage when used off -road. Minimize the cost of airport parking whenever possible. Use long term parking instead of higher cost, closer parking. POV mileage reimbursement for round trip both to and from airports is acceptable in place of airport parking. Document both odometer readings and mileage on shift tickets for POV usage. G. Equipment When traveling to or from the incident, the Minimum Daily Guarantee for equipment does not apply on the first or last days. Payment is for the actual hours of travel and work only. Engines and tenders being transported to an incident will be reimbursed at the work rate for the hours being hauled in travel status, not to exceed the Minimum Daily Guarantee. Engines and tenders driven to an incident are compensated at the established work rate for all hours of driving. No additional use charges will be reimbursed for tools and equipment listed on engine inventory listing. Specialized items may be reimbursed separately if ordered and tracked by the incident. No travel days will be reimbursed for these items (e.g., ATVs, pumps, chainsaws, etc.) Normally, cooperators will not be reimbursed for equipment staffing exceeding Rocky Mountain Area standards, unless requested and approved by the incident on the resource order. Equipment assigned to a Colorado State EFF fire but not listed on an approved CRRF will be reimbursed at the current standard state cooperator rates. A DFPC representative will assist incident personnel to complete a CRRF for that incident. Original Emergency Equipment Use Invoice (OF -286) and pink copies of Equipment Shift Tickets (OF -297) should accompany all requests for reimbursement. All documents should be signed by both the cooperator and incident personnel. If the incident does not prepare an Emergency Equipment Use Invoice, the pink copies of all 2013 Colorado Cooperator Reimbursement Guidelines 10 Shift Tickets are required for reimbursement. The Equipment Use Summary should be attached to incident documentation for equipment use. Cooperator equipment Shift Tickets do not need to show meal breaks while on -shift at an incident. The CTR for personnel assigned to that piece of equipment should show breaks as taken or provide documentation for compensable meal breaks as required by the IIBMH. If equipment is not available on an incident due to breakdown or mechanical difficulty, the daily guarantee will apply on the day of breakdown. Equipment will be paid for actual hours on -shift or the daily guarantee, whichever is greater. No reimbursement will be made for any additional days while out of service. Crew personnel are entitled to the daily guarantee on days when equipment is out of service. If return travel time is estimated at the incident prior to demobilization, a Shift Ticket with actual travel time should be included with reimbursement request. Department vehicles will be reimbursed at the appropriate standard state cooperator daily rate. Actual fuel expense is eligible for reimbursement with copies of receipts. Mileage will not be reimbursed for vehicle use and are not entitled to mileage reimbursement for travel to and from incidents. Up to four (4) hours of actual time will be allowed for crew members to rehab equipment after return from an assignment. No additional equipment time will be reimbursed. G.1. Lowboy Transportation Complete Attachment 9 Equipment Transport Summary for reimbursement of transport expense or mileage reimbursement. For incident destinations beyond 300 miles from the cooperator's home unit, transportation by lowboy is preferred for Type 1, 2, 3, and 4 engines. Other engines and tenders may be transported on a case -by -case basis. Contact DFPC Incident Business Specialist for further information. Department may request lowboy transportation from dispatch center as needed when accepting engine or tender assignments. If lowboy transportation is not available through ROSS, the department may request authorization on the resource order and make the arrangements for transport. Transport should be released when equipment has been delivered to the incident. Return transportation may be arranged by the incident when equipment is released. Copy of a paid receipt for lowboy transport to the incident must be included with reimbursement request. If lowboy resources are not available for transport of engines and tenders to the incident, an additional special rate of $1.00 1mile will be allowed for driving distances over 300 miles to incident and return to home unit. In addition to hours driven, the odometer readings (to nearest whole mile) should be recorded on STs to 2013 Colorado Cooperator Reimbursement Guidelines 11 document total miles driven. Mileage reimbursement does not apply when traveling on or between incidents during the same mobilization. If mileage information is not recorded to the incident, a printout of map mileage documentation may be provided for reimbursement documentation. Normally, the cost of a chase vehicle will not be charged to an incident, unless authorized by the dispatch center and incident agency on the resource order. G.2. Inspections If equipment is inspected prior to leaving for an incident and does not pass inspection, the equipment should not be sent to the incident. Local interagency dispatch center will be notified of failure to pass inspection. Equipment that does not pass a pre -use inspection performed by the benefiting agency after arriving at an incident may be rejected and the cooperator may not be compensated. At the option of the incident agency, the cooperator may be given a specified time to complete needed repairs, at cooperator's own expense. If the equipment cannot be repaired to pre -use inspection standards, the equipment and associated personnel will be released and the cooperator may not be compensated for any time (personnel or equipment) or expense incurred. G.3. FEPP Engine Use When a cooperator takes a state - assigned FEPP (yellow) engine to a reimbursable incident, DFPC will reimburse the cooperator $50 per day for department owned tools on the engine when included on the invoice. Original pink Shift Tickets and original Equipment Use Invoices for these engines must be provided to the DFPC for appropriate billing to the incident. GA State -owned Engine Use When the cooperator staffs a state -owned (white) engine, reimbursement will be for the department personnel that operate the engine. There is no $50 per day allowance for these state engines. Original pink Shift Tickets and original Equipment Use Invoices for these engines must be provided to the DFPC for appropriate billing to the incident. H. Fuel Expense Fuel costs incurred during the incident assignment will be reimbursed based on copies of fuel receipts. Fuel Summary form (Attachment 10) should be completed to record expense and submitted with copies of receipts for reimbursement. If receipts are lost or illegible, a copy of a credit card statement showing dated transaction(s) will be acceptable documentation for reimbursement, with explanation why no receipt is available. 2013 Colorado Cooperator Reimbursement Guidelines 12 I. Requests for Lost or Damaged Equipment All circumstances of lost or damaged department -owned equipment must be properly reported and documented at the incident. An estimate of damage replacement or repair maybe made at the incident, but this estimate or reimbursement allowance does not guarantee approval of reimbursement and will not be used as sole documentation for resolution. If finance positions are not staffed at the incident, the reimbursement request documentation should be provided to the Incident Commander or local agency FMO or IBA. Use a separate Cooperator Incident Assignment Invoice form (Attachment 3) and the Miscellaneous Expense Summary (Attachment 11) to request reimbursement for loss of or damage to department equipment. Incident report and authorization documentation, copy of resource order and copy of paid invoice for actual expense must accompany all requests for reimbursement of replacement or repair expense. Final reimbursement payment determination will be made by DFPC staff. Replacement of tires and windshields will generally not be reimbursed by the incident. Requests for damage that appear to be outside of "normal wear and tear" should be properly documented at the incident. Air filters, oil changes, fuses, bulbs, etc. are considered to be normal wear and tear and are not typically reimbursable expense. Some lost or damaged cooperator equipment may be replaced by the incident through the Supply Unit. If the item(s) cannot be replaced at the incident, the Supply Unit may issue an Incident Replacement Requisition or resource order for replacement after return to home unit. A copy of this documentation, along with actual paid invoice copies for items replaced, must be included with all reimbursement requests. Replacement of non - standard cache items may not be authorized for charging to incident. If not documented and authorized by incident agency, DFPC may not reimburse department expense. Repair of damage to engines, tenders or other agency vehicles may be reimbursed without an incident assigned resource order number. It is required that the damage be reported and documented at the incident with a copy of the report detailing circumstances attached to the request for reimbursement of actual repair cost. No reimbursement will be allowed without copy of incident reporting documentation. Any items covered by department insurance should be deducted from request for reimbursement against the incident. Reimbursement request should be for expense not covered by insurance. J. Miscellaneous Expense Additional miscellaneous expenses associated with an incident assignment may be reimbursed when properly documented. The expenditure must be directly related to the incident and expense approved by the incident via resource order. A copy of the paid invoice and corresponding resource order must accompany reimbursement request for 2013 Colorado Cooperator Reimbursement Guidelines 13 each expense. Actual department administrative expense for invoice documentation preparation may be added to cooperator billing invoices. Local unit dispatching time is not an eligible reimbursable expense. Charges for personnel costs should be identified by number of hours and hourly rate and shown on the Miscellaneous Summary form (Attachment 11). Cell phone reimbursement will be the exception and use must be authorized either on the resource order at time of dispatch, or with an S- number resource order assigned from the incident. Without appropriate authorization, the cooperator will not be reimbursed. Only additional expense (airtime and toll charges) for cell phone calls directly related to the incident during the period of assignment will be reimbursed. Calls made to the home unit for purposes of department business are not reimbursable. A prorated percentage of the monthly service plan is not eligible for reimbursement. A copy of the cell phone detail billing and resource order must be included with the reimbursement request. Position - specific kits and personal equipment will not be reimbursed at a daily rate but may be covered by reimbursement for loss, replacement of supplies used, repair or one -time cleaning /rehab charge. Authorized use on the incident, and any additional expense reimbursement, must be documented on the resource order. Firefighters take personal equipment on incident assignment at their own risk. K. Reimbursement Documentation and Process Documentation for prompt reimbursement to the department includes a signed Cooperator Incident Assignment Invoice for each incident (Attachment 3), all original incident payment documents and any additional supporting receipts and documentation for expense being claimed. Supplying the proper documentation will facilitate prompt payment of claimed expenses to the cooperator. Invoices for all assignments during a single mobilization should be submitted together to DFPC. Deductions should be shown for mutual aid time when applicable and no reimbursement requested. If additional expense is not included with the initial invoice and needs to be reimbursed, please include only that additional expense on a new invoice with a note that new invoice includes expense not previously submitted. Do not submit a new invoice with the revised total expense. Reimbursement requests with complete supporting documentation should be submitted to the DFPC Fort Collins office within 30 days after return from an incident. Send all documentation to: Colorado Division of Fire Prevention & Control Bldg 1049, 5060 Campus Delivery Fort Collins, CO 80523 -5060. 2013 Colorado Cooperator Reimbursement Guidelines 14 Confirmation of invoice receipt will be sent to department, if email address is provided on checklist (Attachment 12). Payment requests are reviewed by DFPC staff and processed on a "first come, first served" basis. Copies of final payment adjustments will be scanned and emailed to cooperators. Payment requests are submitted to the State of Colorado for processing. Cooperators may make electronic transfer arrangements by contacting DFPC Fort Collins office (970- 491 - 8538). Questions regarding payment status can be sent to firebill cdfpc.org or call the DFPC staff: Penny Lee (970- 491 -8538) or Erin Claussen (970- 491 - 7911). Other questions or comments may be directed to Janell Ray, Incident Business Specialist, at 970 - 491 -1063 or janell.ray(cbstate.co.us.
