Exclusive Use Fixed-Wing Airtanker Services U.S. Forest Service, National Office

AG-024B-S-07-0016 Page 2 November 21, 2007

It is the intent of this solicitation to secure a Fixed Price Multi-Year with Economic Price Adjustment contract not to exceed 5-years for the daily availability rate. The flight rate will be an indefinite quantity with no guarantee of flight hours given by the Government. The Government may award a single contract or multiple awards based on the outcome of the evaluation process. The first program year of the resulting contract(s) will be one year from date of award. The solicitation is written to include the requirements for each program year. Award will not be made on less than the first program year requirements. If the Government determines before award that only the first program year requirement are needed, the Government’s evaluation of the price or estimated cost and fee shall consider only the first year. The proposed percentages are the percent of the total cost for each program year to be set aside for the cancellation ceiling and date/period are as follows:

Second Program Year 45% October 1, 2009 Third Program Year 42% October 1, 2010 Fourth Program Year 39% October 1, 2011 Fifth Program Year 36% October 1, 2012

These common averages for the cancellation ceiling were estimated by taking the average of total dollars spent on airtankers in previous years and divided by estimated overhead and pre-season costs plus a percentage of costs anticipated to be amortized over the five (5) year contract period. The date/period of time is established by the agency to coincide with funding availability. It is the contractor’s responsibility to furnish, along with their proposal, documentation supporting any changes in the proposed cancellation ceilings provided. This documentation should be submitted with their proposal under separate cover and will be evaluated and negotiated at time of award. The cancellation ceiling shall not be used as an evaluation factor.

Care should be taken to provide separate Technical and Business/Price proposals in accordance with the solicitation instructions in Sections L & M.

Offerors may submit offers for any or all of the line items located in the Schedule for which they wish to be considered.

Government reserves the right to award all or none of the items in the Schedule of Items.

Mandatory Availability Period (MAP) opening date will change based on calendar year date designation from year to year. The MAP will commence “on or about” the designated date contained in the contract Schedule of Items. Changes to the beginning and ending date of the MAP period shall be agreed upon by the CO and the Contractor.

Unlike past solicitations, all prices for this solicitation are to be priced out by the offeror(s) for each continuing year. To this end, the Economic Price Adjustment formula included in previous solicitations has been deleted. We instead have included FAR 52.216-4 Economic Price Adjustment – Labor and Material.

This clause is limited to allow the contractor(s) to recoup any fluctuation in the price of labor, gasoline, and/or transportation charges upon submission of the required documentation, per the clause. The daily availability rate and the hourly flight rate are subject to adjustment under the clause.
