ALL TYPES

Q1a: I am filling out the workbook for the type two and three, and I am not sure what performance chart I should use to fill out the Allowable Payload.

Type 3

In the workbook on the Schedule of Items tab it says HOGE Allowable Payload and on the item tab at the bottom for Allowable Payload it says HOGE. My confusion is when you go to page E.4(b)(2) in the solicitation it says HOGE-Jettisonable for bucket equipped aircraft.

Should I use the following performance charts to fill out the corresponding CLIN's?

Short Haul = HOGE-Jettisonable

LEI Short Haul = HOGE-Non Jettisonable

Rotor Wing Aerial Supervision = HOGE-Non Jettisonable

Suppression = HOGE-Jettisonable

A1a: All Type 3 CLINs should be using HOGE Non-Jettisonable

Q1b: Type 2

In the workbook on the Schedule of Items tab it says HOGE Allowable Payload, on the item tab at the bottom for Allowable Payload it says HOGE Jettisonable but when i put the cursor over Allowable Payload the note says Type 2 HOGE. On page 13 of the solicitation there is an asterisk for Bucket and Tank that says HOGE-Jettisonable. In section E.4(b)(2) in the solicitation it says HOGE-Jettisonable for bucket and tanked aircraft.

I just wanted to confirm that I should use the HOGE-Jettisonable for all CLIN's in the workbook.

A1b: The HOGE payload populated in the schedule of items tab for any CLIN requiring passenger transport should be a HOGE Non-Jettisonable payload. For aircraft not approved for passenger transport, HOGE-J payload applies.

Q2: B.18 Management Personnel, "To serve as a Flight Operations Manager for a certificate holder that only conducts operations for which the pilot in command is required to hold a commercial pilot certificate, a person must hold at least a commercial pilot certificate. In addition, the Flight Operations Manager must have at least 3 years supervisory or managerial experience within the last 6 years in a position that exercised operational control over flight operations"

My Operational experience by this definition is going to be very close. I have operated as Director Of Operations and Agent For Service on vendor contracts since June of 2020. prior to that I was the chief pilot for construction services for another vendor. However, my other vendor department was not a 135 operation. Even without my other vendor experience my current DOO experience will be a full 3 years in June 2023. I am FAA certified as our DOO, Agent For Service, and Chief Pilot. I have been holding and conducting the duties of DOO for our USFS, Cal Fire, Alaska, Oregon, Washington, and MInnesota CWN contracts for the past 3 fire seasons. So I need to know if this will suffice the requirements of B.18, or if I must hire another DOO to fulfil this duty until June, so that we are not in jeopardy of being deemed non compliant.

A2: B.18 Management Personnel Requirement is not identical to 14 CFR 119.71(a)(1) in that there is not a requirement that the supervisory or managerial experience was accrued under a part 121 or a part 135.

The experience required is that of exercising operational control.

Q4: We are bidding multiple tail numbers on rappel and non-rappel clins.

On the offered aircraft tab, I am only able to enter one AEW for a bucket offer, but the instructions say to include a rappel bracket if you are bidding a rappel contract. So that means I would need a separate workbook for rappel bids and helitack bids if I use the same tail number. The first line of the instructions say “submit ONE pricing workbook for EACH aircraft offered”

It would make sense to me that we could use the “as weighed” number from Form B to bid CWN and all the clins, then after award add the rappel bracket, if appropriate on Form C to adjust the AEW. Also, does this mean I need load calcs for rappel bids and again for non-rappel?

Ok, I think I finally got it straight in my head after consulting with another vendor. Those bid weights are sorted out in the “Schedule of Items” Now the question I have is, do I need to submit load calcs for rappel conifig and helitack config? Or is just helitack config acceptable?

A4: To bid on an exclusive use CLIN, submit a load calculation and weight and balance for each configuration being offered. Notation of the different equipped weights and corresponding HOGE payloads can be populated in the schedule of items tab in the pricing workbook.

Q5: Question on the REP and Cert… If we have no change from what’s is entered in SAM, do we need to print out paragraph B and include it, or should we include all of the provision and include it as a separate document. Thank you for your time.

E.8 52.212-3, OFFEROR REPRESENTATIONS AND CERTIFICATIONS -- COMMERCIAL ITEMS

(MAY 2022) The Offeror shall complete only paragraph (b) of this provision if the Offeror has completed the annual representations and certification electronically in the System for Award Management (SAM) accessed through https://www.sam.gov

A5: Yes. Offerors need to ensure they are current in annual representations and certifications and updated electronically in https://www.sam.gov.

Q6: Regarding section C.9 (b) (1):

Will line items for modern aircraft be evaluated on a LPTA or Tradeoff basis? It is likely that a modern aircraft offered in year one, or transitioned to in year two, will be substantially more expensive on a given line item than a modern aircraft transitioned to in year five. However, the earlier use of the modern aircraft would give the government additional value by allowing it greater opportunity to utilize the new asset.

A6: The source selection method used will be indicated on the TORP.

TYPE 3

Q7: Fixed Suppressant/Retardant Tank must be manufactured with an opening that allows use of the cargo hook for external operations while tank is attached. Extended Height landing gear that endures a minimum of 12 inches clearance between the attached delivery tank and the level ground shall have an extended height access step or equivalent to provide a minimum of one step half the distance to the skid.

No type 3 tank allows for long line and there is no skid gear that gives you 12 inches of clearance for a type 3.

A7: See amended RFP.
