Solicitation #AG-024B-S-12-9109 Questions and Answers #1

1. How will the fuel adjustment be handled each year to include option years?

Answer:

Step 1 We will first take your flight rate from Schedule B (example) $1,120.95. $1,120.95

Step 2 Multiply the fuel consumption rate by the fuel price listed in Paragraph D-8 (example) 95 X $6.08 = $538.65 $538.65 Step 3 Flight rate without fuel: Subtract $538.65 from $1,120.95 = $582.30 $582.30 Step 4 Multiply the fuel consumption rate by the new fuel price per gallon (example) 95 X $4.23 = $534.85 $534.85

Step 5 Add the flight rate without fuel and the new fuel rate to get the new flight rate.

(example) $582.30 + $534.85 = $1,117.15 $1,117.15

This procedure is the same for each subsequent option year. The original fuel cost from the base year ($538.65) is subtracted from the proposed flight rate for the option year. In steps 1 and 3 the option year rate will take the place of the base year rate. Complete steps 4 and 5 to get the new flight rate for the option year.

Note: An exhibit will be added to any subsequent contract awarded from this solicitation outlining this procedure with the contracts actual rates.
