REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS
Hazardous Materials Regional Response Team Program
Project Overview
The Minnesota Deparlment of Public Safety is seeking proposals from qualified public and non-
public entities to provide services as a component of the Hazardous Materials Regional Response
Team Program (Minnesota Rules, chapter 7514.1500, subpart 1). Primary Response Areas for
this program have been established and are identified in this request for proposals (RFP).
This solicitation seeks proposals from enrities interested in serving as a Hazardous Materials
Emergency Response Team and/or Chemical Assessment Team in any of the Primary Response
Area identified. Funding available for the current state fiscal year will permit the awarding of
contracts to a minimum of one (1) emergency response team which will also function as
chemical assessment team, and up to ten (10) additional chemical assessment team contracts are
anticipated to be awarded to entities serving solely as chemical assessment teams. Additional
contracts may be awarded. Additionai requests for proposals may also be issued at a later date in
order to meet the needs of the team program (Minnesota Rules, chapter 7514,1500, subpart 1).
This request for proposals does not obligate the state to complete the proposed project. The
state reserves the right to cancel the solicitation if it is considered to be in its best interest.
II. BACKGROUND
Legislative History
In 1988, at the direction of the Minnesota Legislature, the Department of Public Safety prepared
a study of the need for regional hazazdous materials response teams. The study concluded that the
majority of local public safety agencies were unable to provide hazardous materials emergency
response capability, due in large part to the cost of training and equipping local teams. Regionally
located teams were considered an efficient and cost effective solution. After examining a variety
of alternatives, a state funded system of ten (10) advanced level teams supported by an
intermediate level response capability was proposed.
A plan to implement the 1988 study was prepared for the MN Legislature in 1990. That plan
revised the recommended system, and proposed the establishment of five (5) regional hazardous
materials response teams and an unspecified number of strategically located chemical assessment
teams. The plan also called for a partnership between state and local govemments, and private
industry, to protect Minnesota citizens, property and the environxnent. Under this system, the
State would contract with existing public and non-public emergency response agencies for
personnel and equipment to function as regional teams. In turn, the State would provide
additional equipment, trainang, warkers compensation coverage, and liability protection.
HSEM/CAT/RFP
� �
The Legislature responded to this plan by enacting the Minnesota Hazardous Materials Incident
Response Act (Minnesota Statutes, chapter 299A.48 to 299A.52) during the 1992 legislative
session. The law requires the Comxnissioner of Public Safety to establish a hazardous materiais
incident response plan and system in administrative rules (Minnesota Rules, chapter 7514).
Following rule adoption, the Commissioner is authorized to establish a system of up to five (5)
regional Hazardous Materials Emergency Response Teams and an unspecified number of
Hazardous Materials Chemical Assessment Teams.
Components and Functions of the Hazardous Materials Regional Response Team Program
Two types of teams form the components of the Hazardous Materials Regional Response Team
Program. While each type of team has a specific role in the response to an incident, each will
work in conjunction with the other to support and assist the local response.
Hazardous Materials Emereencv Resnonse Team: Emergency Response Teams
assist local authorities at the scene of a hazardous materials incident by taking
actions necessary to protect life, properiy and the environment from the effects of
a release of a hazardous material. Emergency actions include, but are not limited
to, preventing the release, mitigating the effects of the release, and stabilizing the
emergency situation. Emergency Response Teams also function as Chemical
Assessment Teams for all or a portion of their primary response azeas.
Hazardous Materials Chemical Assessment Team: Chemical Assessment Teams assist
local authorities at the scene of a hazazdous materials incident by providing simple
mitigation to a hazardous materials incident and (2) required to recommend to the local
incident manager the best means of controlling the hazard after consideration of life
safety concerns, environmental effects, exposure hazards, quantity and type of hazardous
material, availability of resources, ar other relevant factars. Additionally Chemical
Assessment Teams also assist Emergency Response Teams by responding, in conjunction
with an Emergency Response Team, to assess an incident, develop and recommend
mitigation strategies, and assist with response operations. (Minnesota Rules, chapter
7514.0900, subparts 3 and 4)
Related Functions of the Hazardous Materials Regional Response Team Program
Following completion of their emergency response functions, Emergency Response Teams and
Chemical Assessment Teams may be requested to remain at the scene of a hazardous materials
incident to provide support to local authorities monitoring clean-up activities conducted by local,
state, or federal agencies, or the responsible person, for the purpose of ensuring public safety.
(Minnesota Rules, chapter 7514.0900, subpart 5)
In addition, the Commissioner may authorize a team response to provide technical assistance in
support of a bomb squad response to incidents involving explosives, explosive devices,
incendiary devices, shock-sensitive explosive chemicals, or a law enforcement response to
clandestine drug lab incidents. Teams may also respond to mitigate the effects of a hazardous
materials release that might occur as a consequence of these incidents or to provide technical
assistance in support of the local authority. (Minnesota Rules, chapter 75141600, subpart 4, and
Minnesota Rules, chapter 7514, 0900, subpart 6, item C)

Prohibited F�ncfions of the Hazardous Materiais Regional Response Team Program
Emergency Response Teams and Chemical Assessment Teams are prohibited from performing
certain functions. Teams shall not:
a) transport, store, dispose of, or perform remedial clean-up of hazardous materials,
except as may be incidentally necessary to mitigate an emergency;
b) assuxne overall command of the hazardous materials emergency; and
c) mirigate incidents involving explosives, explosive devices, incendiary devices,
shock-sensitive explosive chemicals, or clandestine drug labs, except to respond
to the effects of a hazardous materials release that might occur as a consequence
of these incidents (Minnesota Rules, chapter 7514.0900, subpart 6, items a to c).
Response Area Designations
Primary Response Areas have been established in accordance with Minnesota Rules, chapter
7514.OSOQ subpart 1. At least one (1) Emergency Response Team and one (1) Chemicai
Assessment Team will be designated to each Primary Response Area. Areas so assigned will
become the team's Primary Response Area. Teams will also be assigned a secondary response
area consisting of the entire state of Minnesota in order to provide an alternate response to
incidents which may occur anywhere in the state. (Minnesota Rules, chapter 7514.0500, subpart
7). Primary Response Area boundaries may be adjusted once the location of a11 teams has been
finalized.
Appropriation
An annual appropriation by the Minnesota Legislature provides funding to support the program.
Revenue to offset this appropriation is received from fees paid annually to the Minnesota State
Emergency Response Commission by certain fixed facilities, and to the Minnesota Department
of Transportation by the transportation indushy.
IIL STATEMEI�TT OF PURPOSE AND ANTICIPATED RESULTS

Deaz Committee Members:
In recent yeazs, local governments have been faced with the need to protect their citizens from the
health hazards, or even death, due to exposure to a release of chemicals. Saint Paul's Department of
Fire and Safety Services responded to this issue by establishing hazudous materials response teams in
I 995. The extensive training, experience, qualifications, and certifications of our teams are detailed in
the enclosed proposal for regional hazardous materials response and assessment.
As the committee views our proposal, I would add that the unique characteristics of the City of Saint
Paul have also contributed to the knowledge, experience, and effectiveness of our teams. Our teams
aze trained and prepared to respond to neazly 5,0�0 commercial/industrial properties, an airport, main
line railway, interstate highway, and a river waterway. We have been chosen to host the 2008
Republican National Convention (RNC). During the week of the convention and several weeks prior
to the RNC, the Hazazdous Materials Teams will be constantly deployed inside and outside the
perimeter of the Convention to assist with security. This event will bring world-wide attention to the
State of Minnesota and the City of Saint Paul. I believe this wide variety of preparedness would serve
the region well and that Saint Paul would be an excellent choice for a regional team.
The City of Saint Paul and the Depariment of Fire & Safety Services wholeheartedly agree with and
support partnerships that can provide e�ciency, quality service, and safety to our taxpayers. I think
the committee will agree that this proposal serves that purpose.
Sincerely,

Team Member Training
Saint Paul Fire Hazardous Materials Teams consisting of the Emergency Response Team
and Chemical Assessment Team (ERT and CAT) have met and exceeded the
requirements of the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 29 Section 1910.120 and aze also
compliant with NFPA 472 and 473.
The training teams aze responsible for but not limited to the discipline of: Safe response,
size-up, monitoring, containment, and decontamination. Yeazly training is established
months before the calendaz year and can be modified to meet the needs of the team
members.
In addition to interdepartmental training activities and locally sponsored training, team
members are rotated through State and federally sponsored programs. Recently, eleven
team members attended the Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) Biological Warfare
Agents Class in Anniston, Alabama and the Radiological Class given at the Nevada Test
Site located in Mercury, Nevada. Six team members aze currenfly registered to attend the
Highway Emergency Response Specialist Course in Pueblo, Colorado and plans are to
have all team members participate in these valuable courses over the next 18 months.
The ERT and the CAT have extensive training with the Saint Paul Police Department
(SPPD) Bomb Squad and Crisis Emergency Response Team (CERT). While
participating in joint training with the Blended Entry Team All Hazazds Concept, team
members spent time working closely with SPPD Bomb Squad and CERT at the bomb site
in Rosemont, Minnesota and the CERT range in Maplewood, Minnesota.
A minimum of 50 percent of state contactor training compensation received from any
contract that might result from accepTance of this proposal will be allocated to advanced
training for team members. In addition, a minimum of six team members will attend an
annual national hazardous materials response training program, such as the Highway
Emergency Response Specialist Course in Pueblq Colorado.
Team members also participate in intrastate training with other State Teams including the
WMD Course in St. Cloud, Minnesota and the Highway Emergency Response Course in
Morris, Minnesota. Hazardous Materials Specialist courses aze credited through
Hennepin Technical College and are offered to team members and other interested
department members on a biannual basis. These courses cover the key concepts of Team
Leader, Safety Officer and Advanced Monitoring. All personnel that operate as part of
the Saint Paul Fire ERT and CAT must complete and be proficient in these Specialist
courses in order to be assigned to the ERT or CAT.
Staffing Plan for Minimum Number of Response Personnel
Chemical Assessment Total Team Response will be five (5) personnel from Rescue
Squad 1 and HazlMat 1.
Emergency Response Total Team Response will be ten (10) personnel: Five (5)
personnel from Rescue Squad 2 and the ERT rig; two (2) Firefighters (Haz/Mat
specialists) from Squad l; one (1) Firefighter from the HazlMat rig (Haz✓Mat specialist);

Team Experience
The Saint Paul Department of Fire and Safety Services was one of the first departments
in the state to organize, develop, and train a Hazazdous Materials Team. We have been in
existence since 1985. The Saint Paul Emeraency Response Team and Chemical
Assessment Team were involved and have participated from the inception of the State
Hazazdous Materials Team concept originating in 1995.
Over the past five yeazs we have responded to an average of 362 hazazdous materials
incidents per year. These calls have ranged from rail cars leaking their full load of
product, chemicat laboratory incidents at such facilities as Minnesota Mining and
Manufacturing Company (3M) and others, unknowns in public places, to highway
incidents. As a result, we have some of the most experienced and trained personnel, who
mitigate, prepare, respond, and recover actual hazardous materials incidents in the State.
Several of our team members are hazardous materials instructors for the state technical
collage system.

Existing/Proposed Training and Exercise Programs
Saint Paul Fire and Safety Services ERT and CAT personnel have extensive and
continual training within the departinent, with State Teams and on a national scale with
State and Federal training pro�ams as documented in the Team Member Training
secrion. Training at these sites is provided by a variety of sources including Hennepin
Technical Coilege, Federal Program Instructors, Hazardous Materials Conferences, and
private contractors. All interdepartmentaI training is planned and conducted by certified
college insizuctors.
The ERT and CAT have participated in a number of Haz/Mat exercises involving both
WMD and chemical releases. The following is a list of those exercises:
. Blended Entry with Saint Paul Police Department Bomb Squad and CERT teams
in Hazel Park Jr. High School
• Metro Transit Light Rail derailment with possible terrorist sabotage
• Hospital decontamination drill
• 5��' CST at Excel Center
• Joint entry with Bomb Squad and CERT at Murray High School
. 55`�' CST, Bomb Squad, CERT mass decontamination drill State Fair Grounds
• Terrorist Chlorine railcar drill Arlington High School Emergency Operations
Center
Saint Paul Fire ERT and CAT plan to participate in a joint exercise with the 55�' CST and
State Decon Trailers at Excel Center in preparation for the Republican National
Convention in 2008. In addition, a Mass Casualty Incident is planned using the new tag
system with Tox-Medics and patient decontamination.
The Saint Paul Fire ERT and CAT will continue to make interoperability and close
working relationships with all departments with an emphasis on departments located in
the East Metro. Training exercises with Maplewood Fire and Woodbury Fire has proven

Enhanced Training Facility for Outside Contractors
The Saint Paul Fire and Safety Services Training Division is located at 1683 Energy Park
Drive. This division offers one of the most comprehensive training facilities in the State
of Minnesota.
The ten acre site boasts a state of the art, two-story bum building, with fu11 basement,
capable of hosting "live bums" and many other fire fighting disciplines. An adjacent six-
story drill tower can be utilized for high rise tactics, high angle rope rescue evolutions,
and confined space operations. There aze also two automated classrooms to play host to a
wide range of subjects for Saint Paul Fire Department personnel and outside agencies.
In covering the Hazard Materials Specialties, the site offers an array of props for team
members to improve their skills:
• DOT 105 railcar is positioned on tracks, has an ammonia dome fixed on top, with
safety rail the length of the car
• MC 306 gasoline tanker
• 48' semi-trailer container
• T�uo one-ton cylinders (chlorine/phosgene)
• Natural gas pipe tree prop
• Flaxmnable liquids fire pit
• New back draft simulator
Saint Paul Fire and Safety Services is committed to improving the Training Division by
purchasing or acquiring additional props. These will include two domes on the existang
railcaz, a chlorine and sulphur dioxide dome with the capability of adding air or water
pressure to the valves to simulate leaks. Two additional domes will be mounted on
elevated platforms with the same capabilities.
When the project is complete, Saint Paul Fire and Safety Services will have the capability
to not only offer its personnel extensive training in these areas, but will be able to extend
this training opportunity to the other HaziMat Teams throughout the state.

of fifty miles would incorporate portions of the following counties into the preliminary
response area; Chisago, Isanti, LeSueur, Rice, and Goodhue. These boundaries would be
formalized in contract.
In reference to the suggested response area, based on a two-hour response time at an
average of fifiy miles per how, the coverage would expand to Pine County to the north,
Kandiyohi County to the west and Mower County to the south.

STATE OF MINNESOTA CONTRACT LANGUAGE
POINTS OF CONCERN
➢ Proposed Agreement or Minnesota Emergency Management Act of 1996 statutory provisions
Additional language in contract is proposed to make clear under which events the State
would expect services and proceed under the proposed agreement and when the
MINNESOTA EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT ACT OF 1996, Chapter 12 applies.
➢ This proposed agreement is a Joint Powers Agreement and the City recommends the following
language be added to the Agreement:
"THIS JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT is between the State of Minnesota
(hereinafter referred to as "State") and the City of Saint Paul, Minnesota
(hereinaftex referred to as "Contractor"), aze empowezed to enter into joint
powers agreements pursuant to Minn. Stat. § 471.59, subd. 10."
➢ The City recommends one of the following paragraphs for language in the "Paragraph 8
Liability" section:
Choice one:
"Each party agrees that it will be responsible for its own acts and/or omissions in
carrying out the terms of this Agreement and the results thereof to the extent
authorized by law and shall not be responsible for the acts and/or omissions of
the other party and the results thereo£ The liability of the Contractor, Saint Paul
Police Department and the City of Saint Paul, its employees, officials and agents
shall be governed by provision of the Minnesota Torts Claims Act, Minnesota
Statutes Chapter 466, et seq. and other applicable law. The liabiliry of the State
shall is governed by the provisions of the Minnesota Torts Claims Act, Minn.
Stat. §§3.736."
Choice two:
"The liability of the Contractor, Saint Paul Department of Fire and Safety Services and
the City of Saint Paul, its employees, officials and agents shall be governed by
provision of the Minnesota Torts Claims Act, Minnesota Statutes Chapter 466, et seq.
and other applicable law. Additionally, the Agreement does not waive any legal
remedies, including immunities, that the Contractor would have for City services."
➢ Paragraph 10 Government Data Practices — Language in the proposed agreement appears to be
contrary to the Minnesota Government Data Practice Act.
If the City receives a request for data that is public data, the CiTy would have to follow
the Act and the State would not have the ability to give directions on the release of data.
The City recommends striking the language after the first sentence in the second
pazagraph of this section.
➢ Pazagraph 12 Publicity — Language in the proposed agreement appears to be contrary to the
Minnesota Govemment Data Practice Act.
As stated in reference to pazagraph 10 above, it appears that the sentence "and shall not

might be in violation of the Data Practice Act.
