VIPR I-BPA for FALLER for Region 5 - Pacific Southwest Region

The purpose of this amendment is 1) to extend the due date, 2) to make changes to the check sheet and at D.16 and 3) to implement the 2020 guidance, Fire Management Board (FMB) Memorandum No. 20-001. 1) The solicitation is extended until April 23, 2020, at 2:00 PM Pacific. 2) The check sheet is replaced at the beta.sam.gov website. VENDORS ARE REQUIRED TO SEND IN A COPY OF THE NEW CHECK SHEET FOR EACH FALLER. Failing to do so will result in faller(s) not passing documentation inspection. We apologize for any inconvenience. 3) Due to the restrictions related to COVID 19 and the inability to take or obtain the required Annual Fire line Safety Awareness, RT-130, the US Forest Service has guidance to address this issue. Please see copies of memoranda at https://www.fs.usda.gov/detail/r5/fire-aviation/management/?cid=stelprdb5303034. There is no requirement to sign and mail in a copy of this amendment.
