USE OF PROPERTY AS DIP SITE AND WATER USED TO FILL WATER TENDERS USED IN FIRE SUPPRESSION EFFORTS

This emergency contract authorizes the use of privately‑owned land as a dip site to supply water for fire‑suppression tenders.

The work includes setting up a water‑filling station on the vendor’s property and ensuring water availability for firefighting operations. A post‑use inspection later identified a damaged cattle guard, for which the government will reimburse $1,000. • Emergency sole‑source award to a single vendor (LUA Union Land and Grazing Company). • Scope: water provision for fire‑suppression activities, including a dip site on private land. • Contract value: $10,000 with an additional $1,000 damage reimbursement. • Duration: 14 days (08 July 2026 – 21 August 2026). • No competitive bidding, renewal, or set‑aside requirements.
