4. Miscellaneous Duties.
Maintain SEMG kit as listed in ISOG including the required
forms.
F. Exclusive Use or Variable Term SEAT Management.
This is to standardize procedures when assigned as a SEMG for an
Exclusive Use or Variable Term contract, when the regular assigned
manager is not present.
When managing a SEAT on an exclusive use or variable
term contract, the SEMG must coordinate with the
Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) designated for
the contract. The SEMG will contact the COR within the
first 24 hours of being assigned to the contract. The COR,
or their designee, will provide the SEMG with any
guidelines or procedures that have been established for
administrating that specific contact.
G. SEMG Duties at established Air Tanker Bases.
The following duties are outlined to help the SEMG coordinate with
the Air Tanker Base Manager (ATBM) and assigned base personnel
to ensure all efforts are being made for safe and efficient SEAT
operations conducted from these bases.
The ATBM is responsible for all aircraft and personnel
working from their established base. All efforts MUST be
made to coordinate all aspects of the SEAT operations with
the ATBM.
ATBMs are authorized to oversee the SEAT operations
without the presence of the SEMG while SEATs are
assigned to work out of their base. The ATBM will oversee
the SEAT operations when the assigned SEMG is in route,
or for a specified amount of time that has been agreed upon
between the SEMG and the ATBM (not to exceed 48
hours). Beyond 48 hours at the base the standard span of
control applies. If the ATBM agrees to oversee the SEAT
operation at their base, they must ensure that the assigned
SEMG is provided with all the necessary information to
complete their required documentation, and must coordinate
any operational movement of a SEAT with the SEMG.
If the ATBM is designated as the assigned SEMG for a
SEAT located on their base, they must be fully qualified for
