The purpose of this amendment is to correct language in solicitation section D.6.2 and to include the Choosing By Advantages (CBA) formula for Dispatch Priority Listing which was omitted from the original version. The language within the solicitation template will be corrected at a later date during a VIPR Maintenance Cycle prior to award.

.

D.6.2(2) -- RANKING OF AWARDED RESOURCES FOR DISPATCH PRIORITY, Is changed to read as follows:

.

Within each small business program category, priority will be given according to the price offered for the type of resource. Mileage will not be considered in the ranking for resources besides stand-alone transports. Priority will be based on a combination of the daily rate plus the minimum daily guarantee offered, with the lowest price being ranked the highest on the dispatch list:

(a) Transports: ((Rate Per Mile x 200 miles)*0.2)+((Minimum Daily Guarantee)*0.8)

(b) Excavator: Daily Rate + Transport Minimum Daily Guarantee

(c) Dozer and Tractor Plow: Total Points for Advantages/(Daily Rate + Transport Minimum Daily Guarantee)

.

D.6.2(c)(2) Excavators: Is changed to read as follows: Price offered for the type of resource. The price will be based on the daily rate, with the lowest price being ranked highest on the dispatch list. Separate priority lists will be generated for each Type of excavator. The Transport Minimum Daily Guarantee will be included in the formula.

Attribute, not given points:

Clamshell Bucket

Up Down Blade or Dozer Blade

Steep Ground Excavator

NOTE: These attributes will be listed on the priority dispatch list and if the incident specifically orders the equipment with this attribute, vendors offering that attribute will be given preference as

they appear on the priority dispatch list.
