inaccurate or incomplete data. To remain registered in the CCR database
after the initial registration, the Contractor is required to review and
update on an annual basis from the date of initial registration or
subsequent updates its information in the CCR database to ensure it is
current, accurate and complete. Updating information in the CCR does not
alter the terms and conditions of this contract and is not a substitute
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

Contractor shall provide the responsible Contracting Officer a minimum
of one business day\'s written notification of its intention to (A)
change the name in the CCR database; (B) comply with the requirements of

paragraph (q)(2)(i) of this clause, or fails to perform the agreement at
paragraph (q)(2)(i)(C) of this clause, and, in the absence of a properly
executed novation or change-of-name agreement, the CCR information that
shows the Contractor to be other than the Contractor indicated in the
contract will be considered to be incorrect information within the
meaning of the \"Suspension of Payment\" paragraph of the electronic
funds transfer (EFT) clause of this contract.

\(3\) The Contractor shall not change the name or address for EFT
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.

# ADDENDA TO CONTRACT TERMS AND CONDITIONS

# 

## C3 Inspection/Acceptance (52.212-4(a)), the following is added:

## 

C3.1 Inspection Scheduling and Process

## 

C3.1.1 After either contract award or renewal, the COTR will schedule a
date to inspect the Contractor\'s proposed aircraft, equipment and
person­nel to ensure contract compliance. The inspection will be
conducted at the designated base, Contractor\'s facility or other
location accept­able to the Government. The inspection will be scheduled
to com­mence as early as 60 days and not later than three days (excluding
weekends and holidays) prior to the established reporting date, unless
otherwise mutually agreed upon by the COTR and the Contractor. The
inspection time and date will be scheduled for between 0730 and 1630
local time, Monday through Friday, unless otherwise agreed upon by the
COTR. The COTR will confirm the inspection details in writing.
Contractor written requests for inspection rescheduling that are
received by the COTR at least 10 days prior to the originally scheduled
inspection date may be accommodated by the COTR, depending upon their
work schedule.

C3.1.2 The Contractor must provide information specific to the aircraft,
equipment, and personnel being proposed for use during each year of the
contract when requested by the COTR.

C3.1.3 Approved aircraft, fuel servicing vehicles and pilots will be
issued an Interagency Aircraft Data Card, an Interagency Data Card -
Fuel Service Vehicle, or Interagency Pilot Qualification card, as
applicable. The aircraft and pilot cards detail the activities for which
they are authorized. The fuel servicing vehicle card only indicates that
the vehicle meets the additional equipment specified in Section B, and
in no way indicates that the vehicle meets any requirement of 49 CFR.

# 

C3.1.4 If the COTR determines any aircraft/equipment/personnel and
records/documents presented for inspection are not completely ready for
the inspection or are determined to be nonconforming as required by the
contract, the COTR may suspend the inspection(s) and schedule a
reinspection for another time/date/site. The Contractor may be charged
for the cost of reinspection, in accordance with Section C3.5.

C3.2 Equipment

C3.2.1 The aircraft will be inspected to ensure compliance with all
contract requirements. The Government may require in-flight dynamic
testing of aircraft systems. This testing may be conducted in
conjunc­tion with pilot evaluation flight(s), and will be performed at no
cost to the Government.

C3.2.2 (As applicable**)** Fuel servicing vehicle(s), fuel cache(s) and
other equipment will be inspected to ensure contract compliance.

## 

C3.3 Personnel

C3.3.1 Pilots. Only those individuals whose past flight time and
experience can be verified from log books, employ­ment records, etc.,
will be approved for contract use. The Contractor cannot substitute any
pilot flight evaluation time for any of the total pilot flight hour
requirements listed in this contract

C3.3.2 The COTR will conduct a pilot flight evaluation to further verify
pilot(s)\' ability to perform under this contract, when determined
necessary. The evaluation may include but is not limited to: weight and
balance performance, center of gravity limitations, aircraft performance
charts, density altitude considerations, load calculation preparation
and actual flying of the aircraft. Portions of the evaluation may be
evaluated orally. A pilot must also be capable of demonstrating
proficient operation of all aircraft equipment identified in Section B
during an evaluation flight.

C3.3.2.1 The aircraft used for the flight evaluation(s) must be the same
make, model and series awarded for this contract and be equipped with
dual controls. At COTR discretion, the flight evaluation may be
conducted in only one aircraft make, model, and series equipped with
dual controls if multiple make, model and series of aircraft are
awarded. Flight evaluation(s) will usually be performed in areas that
provide access to terrain similar to that to be flown during the
contract period. Flight evaluations are conducted at the Contractor's
expense.

C3.3.3.2 During the flight evaluation, pilot inspectors retain
discretionary authority in determining the competency of the pilot and
may add, delete, or revise elements of the flight evaluation to
determine competency. The Government will make the final determination
as to the pilot's ability to successfully meet contract requirements.

C3.3.3 Services provided under this contract require DOI special use
flight activities as identified herein. Pilots must have satisfactorily
completed an agency initial and/or periodic flight evaluation(s) for
these activities before being approved for use under the contract,
unless otherwise indicated in the contract. The COTR will provide
detailed information concerning the types and frequency of special use
pilot flight evaluations when requested.

proposed substitutes must meet pertinent contract specifications and be
subject to inspections and approvals identified herein prior to use. The
Contractor must submit a written request for inspections of substitutes
to the COTR seven days prior to the scheduled arrival at the site.
Requests received with fewer than seven days' notice will be
accomplished as permitted by the COTR's schedule. After the first 120
calendar days, the Government may, at no cost to the Contractor, inspect
substitute personnel and/or equipment on a basis of one inspection per
quarter. The Government may charge the Contractor for the cost of any
substitute inspections in accordance with Section C3.5

C3.4.2 The Contractor must transport substitute personnel, aircraft, or
equipment to the point of use at their expense.

### C3.4.3 The bureau may require substitute pilots to obtain up to three hours each of training or orientation flight time at Contractor\'s expense. (This flight time is in addition to any necessary pilot evaluation flight(s)).

C3.5 Reinspection Expenses

## 

C3.5.1 The Contractor must be liable for all Government incurred
reinspection costs. Inspection expenses may be deducted from payments
due the Contractor.

C3.5.2 Costs may include, but are not limited to, inspec­tor(s)' time to
include travel time at \$75.00 per hour, and transportation and
subsistence at actual cost.

## C4 Personal Identity Verification of Contractor Personnel (52.204-9 SEPT 2007) 

\(a\) The Contractor shall comply with agency personal identity
verification procedures identified in the contract that implement
Homeland Security Presidential Directive-12 (HSPD-12), Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) guidance M-05-24, as amended, and Federal
Information Processing Standards Publication (FIPS PUB) Number 201.

\(b\) The Contractor shall insert this clause in all subcontracts when
the subcontractor is required to have routine physical access to a
Federally-controlled facility and/or routine access to a
Federally-controlled information system.

C4.1 Contractor Personnel Security Requirements

C4.1.1 It has been determined that Contractor personnel utilized in the
support of this contract will not be allowed routine and regular
unsupervised access to a federally controlled facility for more than 180
days, nor will they need unsupervised access to a Federally controlled
Level 3 or 4 information system.

C4.1.2 Contractor employees utilized in support of this contract, will
be treated as visitors (uncredentialed Contractor) and not be required
to receive background investigations and credentialing. However,
uncredentialed Contractors may be subject to the screening processes
utilized at each federally controlled facility where the Contractor
services are required. As a minimum, Contractor employees will be issued
a temporary/visitor badge and shall display it at all times during
contract performance when accessing a federally controlled facility. The
COR is responsible for ensuring that all Contractor employees are issued
a temporary/visitor badge.

## C5. Federal Airport and Airway Excise Taxes 

C5.1 Chapters 31 and 33 of the Internal Revenue Code, (26 U.S.C. 4041,
4261 et seq) impose an excise tax on aviation in one of two ways (1) as
a fuel tax or (2) as a transportation tax on transportation of
passengers and cargo for aircraft having maximum certificated weights in
excess of 6,000 pounds. In addition, the Domestic Segment Tax may also
apply to flights conducted under this contract.

C5.1.1 In order to establish the basis for tax, the contractor shall be
responsible for ensuring that the AMD 23, Aircraft Use Report/Invoice is
completed showing each departure and arrival location using FAA airport
identifier codes (or locally assigned codes), and that the total number
of passengers and cargo for each segment is entered.

C5.1.2 The information contained herein was current at the time of
contract award. Changes imposed by the IRS and/or Revenue Rulings shall
take precedence over this contract provision. Full text of IRS Revenue
Rulings may be found at TaxLinks.com. For additional information on
Federal Fuel Taxes and Federal Transport taxes see IRS Publication No.
510 available at: [www.irs.gov](http://www.irs.gov/)

C5.2 **Fuel Tax**. Fuel tax (Section 4041 of the IRS Code) is
applicable, and this contract requires Contractor-furnished fuel. The
Contractor is responsible for paying the fuel tax and including such
taxes in their bid price.

C5.3 **Transportation Tax**. When the transportation tax on passengers
and/or cargo (Section 4261 and 4271 of the IRS Code) is applicable, it
is the Contractor's responsibility to then indicate in the Tax Code
column on the right side of the AMD-23 whether the tax applies to each
line item by indicating one of four codes; "P" for Passenger Tax, "C"
for Cargo Tax, "B" for Both taxes, or "N" for no tax. The current
percentages (as taken from IRS Publication 510) will then be applied by
the NBC Aviation Management Finance Office, and the tax will be paid.
Any exceptions to this procedure shall be coordinated with the NBC
Aviation Management Finance Office and the Contracting Officer. If
transportation taxes are paid, then the tax imposed by Section 4041 of
the IRS Code (Fuel Tax) does not apply and shall be credited.

C5.4 **Exemptions**. The Internal Revenue Service and the U.S. Treasury
Department have issued several rulings regarding the imposition of
transportation taxes. The Department of the Interior is not exempt from
the tax on aviation fuel.

A\) Revenue Rule 72-156 Exempts aircraft from passenger and cargo tax
under Section 4261 (Tax on Air Transport of Persons) and 4271 (Tax on
Air Transport of Cargo) of the IRS Code when hauling and dropping fire
retardant or water. This exempts airtanker operations from the tax.

This Revenue rule also clarifies that either the transportation taxes
(passenger and/or cargo) apply to any one use of an aircraft. Where
there is a possibility of either the transportation taxes or fuel taxes
applying, it is necessary to determine on a flight-by flight basis
whether the aircraft involved in being used in a business of
transporting persons or property for compensation or hire, so as to be
subject to the transportation tax rather than the fuel taxes. If
transportation taxes are paid, then the tax on fuel does not apply.

B\) Revenue Rule 76-477 Exempts aircraft from passenger and cargo taxes
under Sections 4261 and 4271 of the IRS Code when if an aircraft is used
with only the contractor's employees aboard, such as flights to spot
fire or drop fire retardant chemicals. This exemption would apply to
helicopter bucket operations, when the flight is conducted with only the
contractor's employees aboard.

C5.6 **Domestic Segment Tax** - Domestic Segment Tax may apply to
services provided under this contract (aircraft having a 6,000 lbs, or
more certificated gross take off weight) if the services involve flight
segments from airports that have more than 100,000 commercial passengers
departing by air during the calendar year. A segment is a single takeoff
and a single landing.

C5.6.1 Rural airports (under 100,000 commercial passenger departures)
may be exempt from the segment tax providing they are not located within
75 miles of another airport where 100,000 or more commercial passengers
departed during the second preceding calendar year or the airport was
receiving essential air service subsidies as of August 5, 1997 or the
airport is not connected by a paved road to another airport. A listing
of rural airports can be found on the Department of Transportation
website at: <http://ostpxweb.dot.gov/aviation/domav/ruralair.pdf>

## C6 Economic Price Adjustment -- Fuel (Lower 48 States Only)

C6.1 During the contract period, including any renewal, the hourly
flight rate may be adjusted as set forth herein to reflect increases and
decreases in the cost of aviation fuel.

C6.2 The Contractor warrants that the prices offered for this contract
do not include any allowances for any contingency to cover increased
costs for which adjustment is provided under this clause.

C6.3 **Base Price**. The base price of fuel will be the average of the
com­mercial price obtained by the Government for jet fuel or aviation
gasoline (which­ever is appropriate) at the following locations:

Blue's Aviation Svc, San Bernardino, CA 909-382-0101

Cutter Flying Service, Albuquerque, NM 505-842-4184

Premier Aviation, Tucson, AZ, 520-889-6327

Sphere One Av, Cedar City, UT 435-586-4504

Western Aircraft, Boise, ID 208-338-1800

Edwards Jet Cntr., Billings, MT 406-252-0805

West Star Aviation, Grand Junction, CO 970-243-7500

Jet West, Reno, NV 775-825-6400

Wings of Wenatchee, Wenatchee, WA 509-886-0233

**The base price for fuel is identified in Section A, Requirements and
Prices.**

C6.4 **Reference Price**. The reference price is the com­mercial fuel
price in effect at the time of adjustment. The reference price will be
obtained from the same sources as the base price. The reference price
will become the base price for the subsequent adjustment.

C6.5 **Flight Rate Adjustment**. Adjustment to the hourly flight rate is
the difference between the reference price and the base price multiplied
by the hourly fuel consumption rate for the type aircraft involved as
shown below.

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.

**D7.2 Evaluation Process**.

D7.2.1 EVALUATION\--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (FAR 52.212-2 JAN 1999)

The Government intends to evaluate offers and award contracts without
discussions with offerors. Therefore, the offeror\'s initial offer
should contain the offeror\'s best terms from a price and technical
standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct
discussions if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be
necessary. The Government may reject any or all offers if such action is
in the public interest; accept other than the lowest offer; and waive
informalities and minor irregularities in offers received.

D7.2.2 [Relative Importance of Evaluation Factors**.**]{.underline} All
evaluation factors other than price, when combined are significantly
more important than cost or price.

The Government will evaluate proposals and select the Contractor based
on these key areas. The order of relative importance is as follows with
Number (1) being the most important: (1) Offer Acceptability, (2)
aircraft payload and capability, (3) Offeror Capability as explained
below with Organizational Experience and Organizational Past Performance
being equal. Evaluated Price is considered important but not as
important as the combination of 1, 2 and 3 above.

## 

## 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]{.underline}. 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 [Minimum Aircraft Requirements.]{.underline} Your offer must
propose an aircraft that meets or exceeds the Minimum Aircraft
Requirements specification in Section A of this solicitation. Your offer
will be unacceptable if you propose an aircraft that fails to meet
**any** of the Minimum Aircraft Requirements below and/or specified in
Section A of this solicitation.

D8.2.1 A copy of the contractor's current approval letter from the U.S.
Department of Agriculture/U.S. Department of the Interior Interagency
Airtanker Board for the proposed aircraft make and model is required to
be provided with offer (See B2.1).

D8.2.2 A copy of the contractor's current FAA Form

7711-1, authorizing the SAS Operations, Forest Fire Management and/or
Firefighting, contained on the Civil Aviation Authorities (CAA) NAFTA
authorization is required with submittal of offer (See B2.2).

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

## 

## D9 Evaluated Price 

D9.1 The Government will apply the unit prices (to include any discounts
offered) in acceptable offers, to the daily availability quantities
identified in Section A. For the purpose of evaluation, the estimated
daily availability and estimated flight hours shown in Section A, will
be applied to the rates offered for each year. The totals for
availability and estimated flight hours for all years will be added
together for each Item to arrive at the Total price per Item. Once the
evaluated prices of all acceptable offers have been determined for each
Item, the Government will compare the evaluated prices, 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 D12 with the remaining
offers. **[Contractors may bid on only one Item (Item 0001 or 0002), OR
all Item Numbers identified in Section A to be considered for
award.]{.underline}**

D9.2 The Government reserves the right to reject offers that have
materially unbalanced availability and flight rates in comparison to
other offers received. 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 though it may be the low evaluated
offer, or if it is so unbalanced as to be tantamount to allowing an
advance payment.

## D10 Aircraft Payload and Capability

D10.1 The Government will evaluate the payload of each proposed aircraft
to determine whether meets or exceeds the Minimum Aircraft Requirements
specified in Section A. The higher the payload for your proposed
aircraft, the better the evaluation you will receive for this factor.
The greater an aircraft's capability, the better the evaluation it will
receive for this item. The higher the payload for your proposed
aircraft, 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, and/or
charts will be evaluated as high risk to be capable of the payload
offered and evaluation of the payload will be impacted.

## D11 Offeror Capability

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

D11.1 [Organizational Experience]{.underline}. 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.

D11.2 [Organizational Past Performance]{.underline}. 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.

## D12 Tradeoff Analysis and Contractor Selection

The Government will select the Contractors by comparing the acceptable
offers on the basis of proposed aircraft payload, 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 intends to
make multiple awards. The Government will award the contract to the
contractor(s) that has the best combination of aircraft payload, offeror
capability, and evaluated price.

## D13 Notice of Award

The Government will provide the successful Contractor(s) 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.

\(2\) **Have** **, have not** , within a three-year period preceding
this offer, been convicted of or had a civil judgment rendered against
them for: Commission of fraud or a criminal offense in connection with
obtaining, attempting to obtain, or performing a Federal, state or local
government contract or subcontract; violation of Federal or state

\(4\) **Have** **, have not** presently, within a three-year period
preceding this offer, been notified of any delinquent Federal taxes in
an amount that exceeds \$3,000 for which the liability remains
unsatisfied.

\(i\) Taxes are considered delinquent if both of the following criteria
apply:

\(A\) *The tax liability is finally determined*. The liability is
finally determined if it has been assessed. A liability is not finally
determined if there is a pending administrative or judicial challenge.
In the case of a judicial challenge to the liability, the liability is
not finally determined until all judicial appeal rights have been
exhausted.

\(B\) *The taxpayer is delinquent in making payment*. A taxpayer is
delinquent if the taxpayer has failed to pay the tax liability when full
payment was due and required. A taxpayer is not delinquent in cases
where enforced collection action is precluded.

\(ii\) *Examples*.

\(A\) The taxpayer has received a statutory notice of deficiency, under
I.R.C. §6212, which entitles the taxpayer to seek Tax Court review of a
proposed tax deficiency. This is not a delinquent tax because it is not
a final tax liability. Should the taxpayer seek Tax Court review, this
will not be a final tax liability until the taxpayer has exercised all
judicial appeal rights.

\(B\) The IRS has filed a notice of Federal tax lien with respect to an
assessed tax liability, and the taxpayer has been issued a notice under
I.R.C. §6320 entitling the taxpayer to request a hearing with the IRS
Office of Appeals contesting the lien filing, and to further appeal to
the Tax Court if the IRS determines to sustain the lien filing. In the
course of the hearing, the taxpayer is entitled to contest the
underlying tax liability because the taxpayer has had no prior
opportunity to contest the liability. This is not a delinquent tax
because it is not a final tax liability. Should the taxpayer seek tax
court review, this will not be a final tax liability until the taxpayer
has exercised all judicial appeal rights.

\(C\) The taxpayer has entered into an installment agreement pursuant to
I.R.C. §6159. The taxpayer is making timely payments and is in full
compliance with the agreement terms. The taxpayer is not delinquent
because the taxpayer is not currently required to make full payment.

\(D\) The taxpayer has filed for bankruptcy protection. The taxpayer is
not delinquent because enforced collection action is stayed under 11
U.S.C. §362 (the Bankruptcy Code).

\(i\) *Certification Regarding Knowledge of Child Labor for Listed End
Products (Executive Order 13126*). (Not applicable to this solicitation)

\(j\) *Place of manufacture*. (Does not apply unless the solicitation is
predominantly for the acquisition of manufactured end products.) For
statistical purposes only, the offeror shall indicate whether the place
of manufacture of the end products it expects to provide in response to
this solicitation is predominantly-

\(1\) In the United States (Check this box if the total anticipated
price of offered end products manufactured in the United States exceeds
the total anticipated price of offered end products manufactured outside
the United States); or

\(2\) Outside the United States.

\(k\) *Certificates regarding exemptions from the application of the
Service Contract Act.* (Certification by the offeror as to its
compliance with respect to the contract also constitutes its
certification as to compliance by its subcontractor if it subcontracts
out the exempt services

\[ \] (1) Maintenance, calibration, or repair of certain equipment as

subcontractor in the case of an exempt subcontract) to the general
public in substantial quantities in the course of normal business
operations;

\(ii\) The contract services will be furnished at prices that are, or
are based on, established catalog or market prices (see FAR
22.1003-4(d)(2)(iii));

\(iii\) Each service employee who will perform the services under the
contract will spend only a small portion of his or her time (a monthly
average of less than 20 percent of the available hours on an annualized
basis, or less than 20 percent of available hours during the contract

Government contract; and

\(iv\) The compensation (wage and fringe benefits) plan for all service
employees performing work under the contract is the same as that used
for these employees and equivalent employees servicing commercial

\(3\) If paragraph (k)(1) or (k)(2) of this clause applies-

\(i\) If the offeror does not certify to the conditions in paragraph
(k)(1) or (k)(2) and the Contracting Officer did not attach a Service
Contract Act wage determination to the solicitation, the offeror shall
notify the Contracting Officer as soon as possible; and

the offeror fails to execute the certification in paragraph (k)(1) or

\(1\) All offerors must submit the information required in paragraphs
(l)(3) through (l)(5) of this provision to comply with debt collection
requirements of 31 U.S.C. 7701(c) and 3325(d), reporting requirements of
26 U.S.C 6041, 6041A, and 6050M, and implementing regulations issued by
the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).

\(2\) The TIN may be used by the Government to collect and report on any
delinquent amounts arising out of the offeror\'s relationship with the
Government (31 U.S.C. 7701(c)(3)). If the resulting contract is subject
to the payment reporting requirements described in FAR 4.904, the TIN
