12024B18Q9020 Amendment 0002

Question:

1. B-17 Additional Offered Equipment for Solicitation No. 12024B18R9120. In the table of equipment it lists Fuel Truck and Fuel Trailer. I am looking to find out if this is where you want the type and size of Fuel Servicing Vehicle offered for the contract to be listed or if the intent is to list an additional FSV if available for offer. Normally the FSV would be part of the Daily Availability Rate and mileage paid when utilized so I am assuming that is still the case for any "primary" FSV to be utilized for this solicitation?

Answer: B-17 is for any additional equipment that the vendor would like to offer. If the vendor would like to offer an additional fuel truck in addition to the one attached to the Helicopter the listing and rate would be placed in this section.

2. Will the rates that we provide for the six month extension for 2023 be used in the evaluation of proposals?

Answer: The rates will be evaluated for reasonableness. For award evaluation the rates will be evaluated for the base year and the option periods 1,2, and 3. It is not anticipated to need to exercise the 6 month option, however rates must be provided prior to award if it is needed.

3. On page one under Important-Notice to Offeror, item 3 states that (2) copies of Business Proposal are required. In Section E-1 (c) (1) it states one copy of business/cost proposal. What is the requirement for this?

Answer: Please send one hard copy of the business proposal and technical proposal. Please also include both on separate thumb drives as well.

4. Where is attachment one for Past Performance?

Answer: it is attached to this solicitation amendment.

5. Exhibit 12 does not show a weight reduction for the Bell 407HP. Should there be a weight reduction and what is it?

Answer: There is currently no deviation between the 407 series (e.g.: 407GP vs 407HP), the standard download is 155#

6. With the extreme busy fire season that we are experiencing, can the solicitation due date be extended to the end of September or the first of October?

Answer: With the additional of Region 8 requirements, we are already pushing on this solicitation. It has been extended until 13 September 2018.

7. A question came in on weighing of aircraft that are out on active fire assignment.

Answer: Any aircraft on the companies operating certificate that is currently in maintenance or otherwise unable to be weighed, the current operating weight and balance will be submitted. These aircraft will be required to be weighed within 12 months prior to initial contract inspection.
