Quick Summary
The National Park Service (NPS), specifically the IMR NORTHERN ROCKIES(12200) office under the Department of the Interior, has issued a Special Notice indicating its intent to award a sole source contract to Hebgen Fire District, Gallatin County, Montana. This contract is for Fire and Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Response at the West Entrance of Yellowstone National Park. The intent is based on Hebgen Fire District's unique ability to meet required emergency response times due to geographic constraints.
Scope of Work
The requirement is for the provision of fire and emergency medical services (EMS). A critical aspect is the ability to meet established benchmark response times as per National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and State and Local EMS standards. Due to its proximity, Hebgen Fire District is uniquely positioned to deliver these services within the required timeframes, as other alternatives are estimated to have approximately one-hour response times.
