TRAINING AND EXERCICES – EQUIPMENT RATES The rates for equipment used for training or exercises will be charged at the published rates, plus expenses for consumables. EQUIPMENT COST STRUCTURE Assumptions DAILY RATE Activated equipment is either operational or stand-by. The daily stand-by rate is 50% of the daily operational rate and only applies when equipment is requested to be staged initially in case it is needed. Once stand-by equipment is activated, it will be considered operational until the end of the rental period. No daily rate charges apply if equipment is out of commission for repairs. The daily rate for equipment is based on a 24-hour calendar day (0001h to 2400h). Equipment is in service from the time it leaves the warehouse to the time it is returned to its normal inventory location (portal to portal). The time involved in decontamination will be considered in-service time, however, the time waiting for decontamination will not be considered in-service time. EQUIPMENT CATEGORIES. In order to determine the Daily Operational Rate the equipment is divided into the following categories: “Non-durable Equipment” – includes equipment that is expected to deteriorate quickly as a result of use in any spill situation due to its construction. This includes fabric-based equipment (e.g., boom, inflatable boats, flexible storage containers), light-weight mechanical equipment (e.g., beach clean-up, small pumps, generators), certain equipment that does not easily resist heavy abuse (e.g., electronic equipment) and some small tools and accessories. “Semi-durable Equipment” – These generally consist of rugged unsheltered boom on a mechanical reel that is driven by a power pack, rigid hull inflatable boats, inflatable storage over 5 tonnes capacity, hazing equipment, shoreline treatment equipment and decontamination units. “Durable Equipment” – includes equipment that is more robust and designed for marine environments. Most large specialized oil spill equipment is in this category (e.g., skimmers, aluminium, steel or fibreglass boats, aluminium barges, road trailers). This category also includes equipment that is somewhat robust, but which would not see heavy service (e.g., communications base, office equipment if used in the Operations Base or Command Post). “Barges” – includes large steel barges primarily used for storage with little or no equipment as an integral part of the barge. Equipment loaded on the barge will be charged separately. “Vehicles” – includes any motorized vehicle that could be rented from a car or truck rental agency or from a construction company/contractor or owned by the Response Organization. For each category, except large steel barges and vehicles, there is a factor established that is contained in table II. This factor is multiplied by the estimated replacement cost to establish the Daily Operational Rate. CAP ON DAILY RATES. There is a cap on rates charged for ECRC’s owned equipment at 115% x estimated replacement cost plus repairs, decontamination and other reasonable incurred expenses when used during a marine spill response provided by ECRC. Once the Cap is reached, the Daily Operational Rate no longer applies; however, the costs of repairs, decontamination, and other reasonable expenses continue to be charged. At no time is the ownership of the equipment altered. The Cap on daily rates for ECRC owned equipment does not apply for equipment rentals or when equipment is retained on site at the request of the Responsible Party, after demobilization. Standard rates will apply for the entire period for ECRC owned equipment in these circumstances. ADDITIONAL CHARGES Some vessels can incur a surcharge for Marine Services Fee or Icebreaking Service Fee which will be passed on to the Responsible Party, if applicable. Consumable parts (e.g., rope mops, hoses) are charged at 115% of replacement cost. Fuel is charged as a consumable, in addition to daily rates charged for the equipment, unless kilometres are charged. Charges apply for the cost of repairs and decontamination in any category. EQUIPMENT DAMAGED BEYOND REPAIR – the charges for equipment that is damaged beyond repair as a result of the response is charged at 115% of its actual replacement cost. This limit is inclusive Daily Operational or Stand-by Rates already posted for time used before the damage, but does not include applicable disposal costs, which are additional where required. The actual replacement cost may vary from the estimated replacement cost as the actual replacement costs reflects current market conditions at the time while the estimated replacement cost reflects our best estimate for purposes of calculating the Daily Operational Rate only.
