ITEM NO. 9

Equipped Weight HOGE (see definition) ______________lbs is required (Note: Does not include bucket and associated suspension hardware)

The Savannah River Site is located on Department of Energy property. All contractor employees will require site badging. The following will apply for this line item:

1. Upon award of a list of names will be required to schedule attendance to the Savannah River Site’s General Employee Training (GET). This course is an 8-hour course which is held every Tuesday, all signups for the GET class must be scheduled NLT the Prior Tuesday.

2. All employee’s requiring badges shall provide their Full Name, Social Security Number, current address and current phone number. Once badged the DOE will conduct a background check on each employee.

3. Foreign Nationals badging process requires more information than our normal badging request processes. They would need to fill out a Security Plan that applies to the type of work that is to be completed (Sensitive or Non-Sensitive; Assignee or Visit), which needs to be completed before we can complete the badge request

4. Badging process takes 2-3 weeks for DOE approval.

5. Foreign Nationals must be escorted at all times; therefore, all host or escorts must get mandatory training and must be listed in the security plan.

6. All vehicles coming through the barricade are subject to search, and when the helicopter comes on site, Site Security will search it as well. Prohibited items include firearms, ammunition (even empty cartridges), weapons, simulated weapons, knife blades over 3”, alcohol and drugs. Site security also checks for valid driver’s licenses and proof of insurance in some instances when a vehicle is searched.

7. Potential hangar space and Jet-A are available in Aiken.

A-2 BIDDERS MAY QUALIFY THEIR BIDS - BIDDERS SHALL INDICATE BELOW THE

MAXIMUM NUMBER OF ITEMS WILLING TO ACCEPT.

A-3 AIRCRAFT PERFORMANCE SPECIFICATIONS (MINIMUM) TO BE USED FOR PROPOSAL

EVALUATION PURPOSES AND AIRCRAFT WEIGHING AND WEIGHT VALIDATION

(a) Performance shall be based on minimum engine specification. Aircraft performance capabilities shall be determined by using the Standard Interagency Helicopter Load Calculation Method. (Exhibit 13, Interagency Helicopter Load Calculation)

Performance enhancing data (Power Assurance Checks, wind charts, etc) shall not be used.

Only FAA approved charts based on minimum specification engine performance shall be used.

As an example, Kaman K-1200 helicopters shall only use minimum specification engine performance data calculated from Rotorcraft FMS NO. 1, (USFS Fire Fighting).

Use (Exhibit 13, Interagency Helicopter Load Calculation and Exhibit 12, Hourly Flight Rates, Fuel consumption, and Weight Reduction Chart) per aircraft type and the appropriate Hover Ceiling Charts (HOGE and HIGE) from the approved Rotorcraft Flight Manual with current supplements and changes as applicable.

For field operations use current temperature and elevation for performance planning purposes.

(b) Aircraft Weighing and Weight Validation

(1) The aircraft’s equipped weight is determined using weight and balance data, which was determined by actual weighing of the aircraft in accordance with the manufacturer’s requirements and configured in accordance with the contract specifications, as proposed. Additional weighing criteria:

(i) The weighing shall be accomplished by the Contractor or their agent.

(ii) All weighing of aircraft shall be performed on scales that have been certified as accurate within the previous one (1) year. The certifying entity may be any accredited weights and measures laboratory using standards traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The scales will be listed by make, model and calibration date in the aircrafts weight and balance documentation (See Form B, Exhibit 21).

(iii) Weighing shall be:

(A) Accomplished within 12 months prior to the due date of proposal submission, and

1. Reserved

(B) At an interval of 24 months thereafter and / or

Solicitation No. 12024B20R9813 U.S. Forest Service Region 8 Type III Exclusive Use Helicopter National Office

(C) Following any major repair or major alteration or change to the equipment list, which significantly affects the center of gravity of the aircraft.

(iv) Helicopter(s) under this solicitation shall:

(A) Remain at or below the contracted helicopter equipped weight as proposed in the base year of the contract. When there is a difference in the aircraft's weight between different sets of scales, scales shall be allowed a maintenance tolerance of .2 % (two tenths of a percent) of the scale reading for each set of scales. For example, a helicopter that weighed 6000 lbs on one scale set would be allowed a 12 lb tolerance on each scale set when compared. (Ref. NIST Handbook 44, Table 6).

(B) Be allowed a total of 1% above the contracted helicopter equipped weight as proposed during the combined contract option periods.

(v) Cowlings, doors and fairings shall not be removed to meet contract equipped weight for performance.

(vi) If the government requires additional equipment after contract award, no penalty will be assessed.

(2) After proposal evaluations and prior to or post award all Exclusive Use aircraft weighing shall be witnessed and validated by Agency Aircraft Inspector(s). If aircraft must be weighed post award it will be at the option of the Government. The objective of the second and separate weighing is to validate the contractor’s proposed weight as configured to comply with the solicitation requirements. Contractors are responsible for the costs associated with weighing the aircraft excluding Agency Aircraft Inspector costs.

All aircraft shall be weighed prior to start of the base year Mandatory Availability Period
