Common use of Decision Process Clause in Contracts

Decision Process. The development of suppression strategies and tactics should consider the probability of success, safety risk mitigations, available resources, values at risk, social and political values, and existing legal statutes. The decisions should be documented per each agencies policy and included in the incident file. A wildland fire decision document will be completed by the Jurisdictional Agency per agency requirements. The wildland fire decision documents the Jurisdictional Agency’s direction for the specific incident. Periodic assessments by the agency administrator of the wildland fire decision will occur. The Wildland Fire Decision Support System (WFDSS) is used by the federal agencies and the State uses the Incident Situation Assessment (ISA). The Jurisdictional Agency provides resource-based input to the incoming team through the Jurisdictional Agency’s line officer signature delegation, development of the wildland fire decision document, and presence of a Jurisdictional Agency resource advisor on the incident. The Delegation of Authority (DOA) will incorporate these planning documents and will clearly communicate the intent of the leader(s). The DOA will be signed by all Agencies based on incident requirement.
