Unoperated. The intent of this process is for Municipal Fire Service Organizations. This method is used when mobilizing resources from career-staffed departments or combination career and volunteer/part-time departments when the Operated Agreement is cost prohibitive. FSOs with a Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) the equipment will be hired at the unoperated rate and actual payroll costs for personnel will be reimbursed. Combination career-staff and volunteer/part-time departments with an Employee Agreement (EA), as defined below, may be reimbursed for actual payroll costs or no more than the hourly rate listed in the current USFS AD Pay Plan for the position listed on the resource order, including trainee positions. Fire departments with Unoperated Agreements may be reimbursed for backfill costs and portal-to-portal when obligated by their agreement. See Requirements for Reimbursement. When an FSO bills portal-to-portal or for more hours than what is authorized on the Crew Time Report (SF-261) or Incident Time Report (OF-288) to meet the terms of the Collective Bargaining Agreement, and they are billing for more than one incident in a single day (0001 hours to 2400 hours), payroll costs shall be prorated based upon the number of hours actually worked on each incident as documented on the SF-261 or OF-288. Example: A Firefighter worked 8 hours on Fire A and 8 hours on Fire B. Each fire will be billed 50 percent (50%) of the actual payroll costs for the firefighter.
