When issuing at-incident EERAs, do local units need to use the national standard specification templates?
When it is necessary for the CO to negotiate an at-incident EERA and if there is a national solicitation template, the CO shall use the national standards specified in the template as a guide. Resource availability, condition of the equipment, and any exceptions to the national standard shall be considered during the negotiation. Refer to Chapter 20 of the Interagency Incident Business Management Handbook for more information on EERAs.
