OPENING DATE: February 8, 2013@ 11:00 A.M. 

The following questions were sent to the Town of Norwood regarding the advertised lease of

The questions and the responses by the Town ofNorwood are hereby incorporated into the bid 

specifications by reference. 

QUESTION #1: In Section D 1: Description, the RFP indicates that the DC-3 Apron includes 4

QUESTION #2: In Section D-1 the permitted use includes "ground han~ling." With regard to 

that term: 

a. May the winning bidder "ground handle" aircraft other than those aircraft that the winning 

bidder owns or operates? 

ANSWER #2a: The successful proposer may only ground handle aircraft owned and/or leased 

by the successful proposer. 

QUESTION #2b: The term Ground handle is generally understood to include fueling aircraft. 

Are there any limitations on fueling aircraft at this location? If so, please describe the limitations 

in detail, including: 

i. Whether the winning bidder may locate fueling storage and dispensing equipment on the DC-3 

Apron; 

ii. Whether structural upgrades are needed to control potential fuel spills as a condition of use for 

fueling. 

iii. If locating fueling storage and dispensing equipment is not permitted, please identify the type 

of equipment that is permissible for use to fuel aircraft at this premises. 

ANSWER #2b: The terms "ground handle" and "fueling" are not intended to be synonymous. 

For the successful proposer, authorized ground handling would include: the towing and repositioning of owned/leased aircraft; flight crew support; passenger boarding and de-planing; the 

loading of luggage, equipment and cargo; catering support; power cart support; suitable aircraft 

maintenance. 

As for fueling limitations: The successful proposer's aircraft can be fueled on the DC-3 apron by 

a qualified fuel provider, authorized to perform such services, per applicable local, state and 

federal laws, regulations and other requirements. 

Fuel storage on the DC-3 apron is not permitted. Therefore, structural upgrades are not needed. 

QUESTION #3: In Section D-3 Costs: the RFP indicates that all fees and costs shall be borne 

by the proposer, including that any and all maintenance costs on the leased lot, including snow 

removal, pot hole repair, crack sealing and removal of any trash shall be the responsibility of the 

lessee. Please advise if the intent is to lease the property in its current as-is condition, or if the 

Town will undertake any work to re-pave or crack seal the premises prior to executing the lease. 

ANSWER #3: The Norwood Airport Commission intends to lease the DC-3 apron in an "as is" 

condition, based upon the current state of the DC-3 apron. Although the Town of Norwood is 

currently seeking resolution from a former DC-3 apron tenant for damages to the pavement, any 
such repair to the pavement would be governed by Section XI of the Norwood Memorial Airport 

Standard Ground Lease, Short-Term: DC-3 Ramp, which was included with the Request for 

Proposals.
