Dispatch Services for 2024 Burning Man Event   3

Background
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Nevada State Office has a requirement for Dispatch Services for The Burning Man Recreational Event. The Burning Man Recreational Event is an international art festival and an experiment in a 'temporary community dedicated to radical self-expression and self-reliance'. The temporary community of Black Rock City is created for eight days and becomes the seventh largest city in Nevada. The event takes place on the Black Rock Desert within the Black Rock/High Rock NCA, managed by the Winnemucca District Office. A Special Recreation Permit (SRP) is issued to Black Rock City LLC, which is responsible for all activities within Black Rock City. The BLM’s operational mission is to ensure public safety and resource protection through the enforcement of the event closure order, the SRP stipulations, and other Federal laws/regulations. In addition, BLM assists local law enforcement with enforcement of Nevada state law. To accomplish this mission the BLM has adopted the Incident Command System (ICS), integrating multiple agencies and functions. The event ICS structure includes command, operations, and support positions.

The operation covers all three event periods of the detail: Pre-Event; Main Event; Post-Event (8/17 - 9/5: 19 days).
