The aircraft must meet or exceed the specifications defined herein. The aircraft will be leased on an “exclusive use" basis, and the FAA estimates that each aircraft will be utilized approximately 300 Time-In-Service (TIS) hours per year. The aircraft will be primarily operated in CONUS. The aircraft could be operated in Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean area, and South America if required.

1.1.2 The aircraft will be used to accomplish the transportation mission of Flight Program Operations. The transportation mission provides flight inspection services and on-call aviation transportation services to the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and senior government officials including the Secretary of Transportation, the FAA Administrator and Deputy Administrator, Presidential Cabinet members, members of Congress, and other federal agencies as requested.

1.1.3 The aircraft shall be dry-leased without pilot for the exclusive use of the FAA and will be operated under Code of Federal Regulation (CFR) Part 135.

6.0 AIRCRAFT AVAILABILITY

6.1 If the leased aircraft is out of service for greater than 72 hours for reasons caused by the Contractor, to include unscheduled maintenance cause by mechanical discrepancy and scheduled maintenance when the agreed upon departure date is exceeded as outlined in paragraph 6.2, the monthly lease payments shall be decreased by 1/30th for each 24-hour period that the leased aircraft is out of service. The calculation for each 24-hour period begins with the first hour that the aircraft went out of service. The Contractor will be notified when the aircraft becomes grounded and the FAA will work closely to resolve the maintenance issue as rapidly as possible.

6.2 For any maintenance/inspection visits the incoming and departure dates, and times, will be agreed upon and confirmed by the COR and the Contractor in advance of such visit. If for any reason the aircraft departure date is delayed beyond 72 hours past scheduled departure a decrease in monthly lease payment of 1/30th for each 24-hour period the aircraft is out of service will apply. The calculation for each 24-hour period begins after 72 hours from the original agreed upon departure date and time.

7.0 AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE

7.1 The FAA will furnish aircraft monthly usage reports to the Contractor if so requested. The Government shall provide the Contractor with advance notification of upcoming scheduled maintenance and determine when the aircraft will be out-of-service for such maintenance.

All time change components, including engines, shall be replaced upon the manufacturers recommended time interval. At the completion of each scheduled inspection, the Contractor shall thoroughly clean the inside and outside of the aircraft. This includes washing and polishing to maintain appearance and condition equal to that when first delivered to the Government considering fair wear and tear.

7.4 The Contractor shall ensure that engine and airframe logs are properly completed following any maintenance action they perform or performed by any subcontractor.

7.5 The FAA shall ferry the aircraft, at the Government’s expense, to and from any location for all scheduled and unscheduled maintenance operations. The Government will assume all costs (including pilots, fuel, and travel expenses) for ferrying the aircraft to and from a place of disablement to a service center for repairs.

7.6 The FAA may elect to perform any repair or inspection to the aircraft at home base or grounded location site using FAA maintenance personnel and equipment. The FAA will request concurrence with the Contractor, in advance, of any maintenance action that it intends to perform that will exceed 10 hours. The FAA will bill back to the contractor for labor expended by FAA to repair or inspect the aircraft above and beyond routine line maintenance. The labor rate charged back will be equal to the contractors prevailing hourly labor rate at the time the maintenance was performed. The FAA will document all maintenance activities including specific information outlining the work accomplished, parts replaced, and labor spent repairing or inspecting the aircraft. This document will be submitted to the contractor for applicable reduction in the monthly lease rate. Any and all replacement parts required to correct discrepancies, complete inspections, or return the aircraft to service will be provided by the contractor. The FAA will determine the required method of shipment and any shipping costs associated with such delivery will be borne by the contractor. The FAA will utilize standard flat rates (i.e. Cessna Labor rates) and standard practices for determining the charge-back amount required.

7.7 Upon request of the Contractor, aircraft parts, if available, may be provided by the FAA for emergency repairs. These parts shall be replaced by the Contractor to replenish the FAA spare parts inventory.

7.8 In the event emergency repairs (NTE $1,000) are performed by a non FAA or authorized service center and that facility will not agree to bill the contractor, payment may be made by the Government, and the Contractor shall reimburse the FAA for the repairs.

7.9 The FAA may request Contractor support when performing maintenance to correct aircraft discrepancies. Contractor support is defined as technical support services and or test equipment from the manufacturer or its authorized service center. Shipment of parts and test equipment to the location of an aircraft may be required of the contractor.

7.10 All reimbursements to the FAA by the Contractor pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph shall be in accordance with the Contract and shall be made adjusting the monthly invoices for lease payments.
