UNDERSTRENGTH ENGINE CREWS Sample Clauses

UNDERSTRENGTH ENGINE CREWS. After acceptance at the incident, the Government may elect to keep a resource (engine) that falls below three crewmembers. If the resource complement falls below the agreed upon staffing (as agreed to at the time of dispatch and documented on the resource order) the contractor equipment is noncompliant. If the Contractor agrees to add additional crew members to bring the contractor equipment up to the Agreement standard of 3 people, compliance shall be met within 24 hours or the time frame designated by Government representatives at the incident. Travel time to the incident will not be paid for additional crew members necessary to complete a three-member crew. If the Contractor is unable to bring engine strength to three people within 24 hours or time frame designated by Government representatives, the Government may at its discretion retain the resource at a reduced rate, notwithstanding the fact that it is under strength as long as the NWCG minimum standards are met.
