after the initial registration, the Contractor is required to review and
update on an annual basis from the date of initial registration or

for a properly executed contractual document.

(2)(i) If a Contractor has legally changed its business name, \"doing
business as\" name, or division name (whichever is shown on the
contract), or has transferred the assets used in performing the
contract, but has not completed the necessary requirements regarding

payments or manual payments, as appropriate, in the CCR record to
reflect an assignee for the purpose of assignment of claims (see Subpart
32.8, Assignment of Claims). Assignees shall be separately registered in
the CCR database. Information provided to the Contractor\'s CCR record
that indicates payments, including those made by EFT, to an ultimate
recipient other than that Contractor will be considered to be incorrect
information within the meaning of the \"Suspension of payment\"
paragraph of the EFT clause of this contract.

extension; however, in accordance with the Federal Travel Regulations
(FTRs), the Government will pay subsistence daily for each authorized
crew member while operating at the designated or an alternate base.

# AVAILABILITY REQUIREMENTS 

## C20 Availability Requirements

During the exclusive use period and any extension, the Contractor must
be in compliance with all contract requirements and available and
capable of providing service up to 14 hours each day, as scheduled by

within the 14- hour duty day. Routine maintenance must be performed
before or after the scheduled 14-hour period, or as permitted elsewhere
in the contract.

## C21 Schedule of Operations and Reaction Time

The Government will schedule daily operations with the pilot. The
Contractor\'s personnel must provide service, as directed by the
Government, in one of the following categories:

C21.1 Standby. Personnel must be on standby each day as scheduled and

C21.2 Alert. After standby Contractor personnel may be authorized to
leave the immediate vicinity of the work site, but remain in an on call
status subject to call back. When authorized to leave, they must
maintain communications acceptable to the Government and must be ready
for takeoff/dispatch within 60 minutes (or longer, if authorized by the
Government) after the Government attempts to contact the Contractor\'s
representative. Failure to return to service as required will result in

C21.3 Release From Duty. Contractor personnel may be released and
considered to be off duty prior to lapse of their individual crew duty
limitation period. Once released, they cannot be required to return to
duty status that day and service will be recorded as fully available

Contractor\'s personnel.

## 

## C22 Maintenance During Availability Period

C22.1 The COR may approve Contractor requests to remove the aircraft
from service to permit the Contractor to perform scheduled or
unscheduled maintenance. The Government will continue to measure and pay
for service availability throughout periods approved for maintenance.
The COR may require the Contractor to resume service within 60 minutes
or any other agreed upon time period. Failure to do so would result in
unavailability status.

C22.2 If the aircraft is not scheduled for service or service is
unavailable, the aircraft may be removed from the operating base for
maintenance, provided the Contractor: (1) Obtains the schedule of
operations from the COR, (2) returns the aircraft to service before the
beginning of the next availability period, AND (3) uses the aircraft for
maintenance test flights, or flight to and from maintenance facilities,
only.

## 

## C23 Unavailability and Damages

available.

C23.2 During periods of Contractor unavailability, the Government may
obtain replacement services elsewhere and charge the Contractor for any
resulting excess costs. The Contractor may be liable for any additional
actual damages to the Government resulting from such failure to perform.

# MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT

## C24 Daily Availability

(maximum of 14 hours) scheduled by the Government and provided by the
Contractor. Availability will be paid as actual services are provided
and paid at the rate and number of days set forth in Section A. Payment
will be reduced for each hour, or portion thereof, in accordance with
the Unavailability Conversion Chart Exhibit, when services are
unavailable or when the aircraft has been released for the Contractor's
benefit.

C24.2 Unavailability. Payment for daily availability shall be made at
the bid price set forth in Section A and as measured above except that
availability for the aircraft, and equipment will be reduced for each
hour or portion thereof if service is listed as unavailable as shown
below.

SINGLE CREW: 1/10 per hour not to exceed 10/10 per day

DOUBLE CREW: 1/20 per hour not to exceed 20/20 per day

C24.3 Availability will be measured for payment on the crew's mandatory
days off.

## 

## C26 Mobilization/Demobilization 

C26.1 The Contractor is be responsible for all mobilization and
demobilization costs to and from the designated base(s) stipulated in
Section A. The Government may, at its discretion, release the Contractor
from other than the base stipulated in Section A. The contract price
will be adjusted as described below whenever the distance from the point
of release to the Contractor\'s home base is greater than or less than
the distance between the Contractor\'s home base and the designated base
stipulated in Section A.

C26.2 Flight distance will be measured using the most direct route taken
from low level en route aeronauti­cal charts. The net distance will be
converted into hours of flight using the most economical cruise speed of
the aircraft. The adjustment will be determined by multiply­ing the
difference in distance (hours of flight) by the flight rate stipulated
in Section A.

C26.3 Distances that are greater than home base to the base stipulated
in the Section A will result in a payment to the Contractor. Distances
that are less than home base to the base stipulated in Section A will
result in a decrease to the Contractor.

**EXHIBIT 6a**

**Interagency Helicopter Load Calculation Instructions**

A load calculation must be completed for all flights. A new calculation
is required when operating conditions change (±1,000\' in elevation or
±5 ^o^C in temperature) or when the helicopter operating weight changes
(such as changes to the equipped weight, changes in flight crew weight,
or a change in fuel load).

All blocks must be completed. Pilot must complete all header information
and items 1-13. Helicopter manager completes items 14 and 15.

###### 

**1. Departure.** Name of departure location and current pressure
altitude (PA, read altimeter when set to 29.92) and outside air
temperature (OAT, in Celsius) at departure location.

**2. Destination.** Name of destination location and PA and OAT at
destination. If destination conditions are unknown, use MSL elevation
from a map and standard lapse rate of 2 ^o^C/1,000\' to estimate OAT.

Check the box in line 1 (departure) [or]{.underline} line 2
(destination) to indicate the most restrictive values used to obtain
computed gross weight in line 7b.

**3. Helicopter equipped weight.** Equipped weight equals the empty
weight (as listed in the weight and balance data) [plus]{.underline} the
weight of lubricants and onboard equipment required by contract (i.e.,
survival kit, rappel bracket).

**4. Flight crew weight.** Weight of the pilot and any other assigned
flight crewmembers on board (i.e., copilot, flight engineer, navigator)
plus the weight of their personal gear.

**5. Fuel weight.** Number of gallons on board **X** the weight per
gallon (**jet fuel = 7.0 lb/gal**; AvGas = 6.0 lb/gal).

**6. Operating weight.** Add items 3, 4 and 5.

**7a. Performance references.** List the specific flight manual
supplement and **hover performance** charts used to derive computed
gross weight for line 7b. Separate charts may be required to derive
HIGE, HOGE, and HOGE-J. **HIGE:** Use hover-in-ground-effect,
external/cargo hook chart (if available). **HOGE and HOGE-J:** Use
hover-out-ground-effect charts for all HOGE operations.

**7b. Computed gross weight** Compute gross weights for HIGE, HOGE, and
HOGE-J from appropriate flight manual **hover** **performance** charts
using the pressure altitude (PA) and temperature (OAT) from the most
restrictive location, either departure or destination. Check the box in
line 1 (departure) [or]{.underline} line 2 (destination) to indicate
which values were used to obtain computed gross weight.

**8. Weight reduction.** **The Government weight reduction is required
for all "non-jettisonable" loads**. The weight reduction is optional
(mutual agreement between pilot and helicopter manager) when carrying
jettisonable loads (HOGE-J) where the pilot has total jettison control.
The appropriate weight reduction value, for make and model, can be found
in the current helicopter procurement document (contract).

**9. Adjusted weight.** Line 7b minus line 8.

**10. Gross weight limitation.** Enter applicable gross weight limit
from **limitations section** of the basic flight manual or the
appropriate flight manual supplement. This may be maximum gross weight
limit for takeoff and landing, a weight/altitude/temperature (WAT)
limitation or a maximum gross weight limit for external load
(jettisonable). Limitations may vary for HIGE, HOGE, and HOGE-J.

**11. Selected weight**. **The lowest weight, either line 9 or 10, will
be entered for all loads.** Applicable limitations in the flight manual
must not be exceeded.

**12. Operating weight.** Use the value entered in line 6.

**13. Allowable payload.** Line 11 minus line 12. The maximum allowable
weight (passengers and/or cargo) that can be carried for the mission.
Allowable payload may differ for HIGE, HOGE, and HOGE-J.

**14. Passengers and/or cargo.** Enter passenger names and weights
and/or type and weights of cargo to be transported. Include mission
accessories, tools, gear, baggage, etc. A separate manifest may be used.

**15. Actual payload.** Total of all weights listed in item 14. Actual
payload must not exceed allowable payload for the intended mission
profile; i.e., HIGE, HOGE, or HOGE-J.

**Both pilot and helicopter manager must review and sign the form**.
Check if hazmat is being transported. Manager must inform the pilot of
type, quantity, and location of hazmat on board.

\"DUNS\" or \"DUNS+4\" followed by the DUNS or DUNS+4 number that
identifies the offeror\'s name and address. The DUNS+4 is the DUNS
number plus a 4-character suffix that may be assigned at the discretion
of the offeror to establish additional CCR records for identifying
alternative Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) accounts (see FAR Subpart
32.11) for the same parent concern. If the offeror does not have a DUNS
number, it should contact Dun and Bradstreet directly to obtain one. An
offeror within the United States may contact Dun and Bradstreet by

## D7 Special Notice to Offerors

D7.1 **Central Contractor Registration**

Unless exempted by an addendum to this solicitation, by submission of an
offer, the offeror acknowledges the requirement that a prospective
awardee shall be registered in the CCR database prior to award, during
performance and through final payment of any contract resulting from
this solicitation. Failure to register in the CCR database prior to
award may affect your ability to be awarded a contract and the
Contracting Officer may proceed to award to the next otherwise
successful registered Offeror. Offerors may obtain information on
registration and annual confirmation requirements via the internet at
*http://www.ccr.gov* or by calling 1-888-227-2423 or 269-961-5757.

# EVALUATION\--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (48 CFR 52.212-2 JAN 1999)

The Government will evaluate proposals and select the Contractor based
on (1) offer acceptability, (2) evaluated price, (3) consideration for
like make/model aircraft, (4) aircraft target requirements, (5) Proposed
Pilots and (6) offeror capability, as explained below.

## D8 Offer Acceptability

The Government must deem offers to be acceptable to consider them
further and will base determinations of offer acceptability on the
following two subfactors:

D8.1 Assent to Solicitation Terms. Your offer must assent to all terms
of this request for proposals and you must provide all information
requested. Your offer will be unacceptable if you take exception to any
term of this solicitation.

D8.2 [Aircraft Requirements.]{.underline} Your offer must propose an
aircraft in response to the target Aircraft Requirements in Section A of
this solicitation. Your offer will be unacceptable if you propose an
aircraft that fails to address the target requirements specified in
Section A of this solicitation.

D8.3 Unacceptable offers will be eliminated without considering aircraft
requirements, offeror capability or price.

## D9 Evaluated Price 

D9.1 The Government will apply the unit prices in acceptable offers,
including option year unit prices, including the estimated cost of the
variable priced items, in accordance with the following evaluation
model.

D9.1.1For evaluation purposes the following workload estimate will be
used: (These are not guaranteed quantities)

1b Flight Time: 235 hours per year

The totals for availability, estimated flight and other variable bid
items as described above, for all years will be added together to arrive
at the estimated evaluated price for each offeror. Once the estimated
evaluated prices of all acceptable offers have been determined, the
Government will compare the evaluated prices, by item[,]{.underline} and
eliminate any offer with an unreasonably high-evaluated price, without
considering aircraft payload or offeror capability. The Government will
then perform a tradeoff analysis, as described below in D3.5 with the
remaining offers.

D9.2 The Government reserves the right to reject offers that have
materially unbalanced prices. An offer is materially unbalanced when it
is based on prices significantly less than cost for some work and prices
which are significantly overstated in relation to cost for other work,
and there is a reasonable doubt that the offer will result in the lowest
overall cost to the Government even through it may be the low evaluated
offer, or if it is so unbalanced as to be tantamount to allowing an
advance payment.

## 

## D10 Aircraft Requirements

The Government will evaluate your proposed aircraft to determine whether
it is above, at, or below the Target Aircraft Requirements specified in
Section A of this RFP. The higher your aircraft rates against target
requirements, the better the evaluation you will receive for this
factor. However, an aircraft payload that is unsupported by the
offeror's aircraft current weight and balance report, equipment list, or
charts will be evaluated as high risk and will subsequently impact the
evaluation of your aircraft payload.

## 

## D11 Pilot Qualifications And Past Performance. 

We will evaluate your proposed pilots based on the extent to which they
have performed services similar to those contained in this solicitation
and in make and model of aircraft offered. Pilots possessing
qualifications less than the minimum required in paragraph B3 will not
be considered. Pilots exceeding the requirements and those with more
recent experience will receive a better evaluation. If your offer is
accepted for award, the pilots offered on the questionnaire will be
added as key personnel under the resultant contract. If other than the
proposed pilots are to be used, the replacement pilots shall meet or
exceed the skill, experience, and knowledge possessed by the originally
proposed pilot. (See also Section C for replacement approval.)

## 

## D12 Offeror Capability

The Government will evaluate your capability based on the following two
subfactors:

D12.1 Organizational Experience. The Government will base its
evaluations of your experience on the extent to which you have performed
services of the kind described in paragraph B1.1 of the Technical
Specifications of this RFP and under similar contract terms. The more
recent your experience, and the broader and deeper, the better the
evaluation you will receive. Only your firm's experience as an
organization will be considered. We will not consider experience more
than three (3) years old.

D12.2 Organizational Past Performance. The Government will evaluate your
past performance in rendering services of the kind described in
paragraph B1.1 of the Technical Specifications of this RFP. "Past
Performance" refers to the quality of your work in the past. Your past
performance will be evaluated on the basis of information obtained from
references and other sources. The Government will give greater weight to
its own experiences with you, if any, than it will give to reports
obtained from others, and it will not consider past performance more
than three years old.

## D13 Tradeoff Analysis and Contractor Selection

The Government will select the Contractor by comparing the acceptable
offers on the basis of proposed aircraft target elements, offeror
capability, and reasonability of evaluated prices. If one offer is best
on all the factors, then that offer will be selected as being the best
value to the Government. If no offer is best on all the factors, then
the Government will consider the differences among offers and make
tradeoffs in order to determine which offer is the best value. The
Government will award the contract to the offer that has the best
combination of aircraft payload, offeror capability, and evaluated
price.

## 

## D14 Notice of Award

The Government will provide the successful Contractor with a written
notice of award, either by mail or other means, upon selection. This
notice will result in a binding contract without further action by
either party.

the identification of a specific pilot (by name) or by the minimum skill
levels (project types, make and model, geographic area experience, or
tasks such as long line) that are offered for any pilot the contractor
proposes to assign to this contract. Reproduce this sheet as necessary.
