Insight

This tender is suited to contractors who already provide trained wildfire crews and hold insurance plus a valid COR or equivalent and who can supply chainsaw-certified operators and required vehicles; key challenges include meeting the specific training requirements (note NFPA training is not accepted), ensuring TDG Air and TDG Ground tickets for leaders and drivers as required, and operating under non-guaranteed, as-needed contracts despite the minimum days guaranteed per hire.
