Which is correct?

Answer 1

Is this requirement going to stay or will it be removed?

The Satellite Phone system requirement will stay.

Question 3

Under section A1 Rotorcraft certified in accordance with 14 CFR 27.143 paragraph (c)

In my research for our Bell 205A-1++, I have not been able to find that this aircraft has this certification. Is this in error or have I missed something?

Answer 3

The following will be deleted from the solicitation.

Section A1/Minimum Helicopter

Requirements/Performance: Rotorcraft certified in accordance with 14 CFR 27.143 paragraph (c).

In locations, where costs may be escalated because of special or unusual events, and lodging within prescribed allowances cannot be obtained, the contractor is responsible for ensuring invoices submitted are accurate and complete, and all travel costs are in accordance with federal guidelines, the FTR and other

Government mandates and directives. When known in advance, the Contractor should notify the

Contracting Officer that lodging costs for their travel will exceed per diem. In the written notification, the travel dates, lodging location(s), and estimated lodging costs should be provided. When not known in advance, the

Contractor should notify the Contracting Officer as soon as practicable. A signed written justification for the use of the higher rate shall be provided by the Contractor with the submission of the invoice. Receipts* ARE required for all lodging expenses.

*NOTE: Lodging receipts are NOT required when lodging is provided by the Government.

Replaced with the following

C24.2 No additional amount(s) shall be paid for lodging taxes, occupancy sales tax, city tax, or such taxes or other costs that may be imposed by lodging facilities at any location. No additional amount shall be paid for lodging amounts that exceed the FTR applicable standard rates.

NOTE: Any invoice submission that includes amounts in excess of the FTR specified locality rates will be rejected for payment. The

Contractor will be required to resubmit at the

FTR allowable rate for the overnight area. No lodging receipts are required to support the subsistence claim as vendors will only be reimbursed the JTR/FTR rate at the applicable location. In accordance with FAR 52.212-4 Alt 1, vendors must make any records associated with travel in support of the services required under this contract available to the Government upon request.
