Instructions to Offerors

The Life Cycle Cost based hourly operating cost of each aircraft proposed will be evaluated using a standardized format. The data provided by each offeror for each aircraft will be entered into the Conklin & de Decker Life Cycle Cost software program to calculate the hourly operating cost of each aircraft. Offerors are required to complete the attached maintenance input table (Table 1) for each aircraft. Instructions to complete the tables are discussed in the next sections, below.

1.1 Instruction to Complete Input Form (Table 1)

The Input Form is found on the next tab, Table 1. The requested data should be entered into the appropriate cell for each cost element.

Note that all costs shown for parts and components that are replaced must be list/catalogue price for delivery in the US without any discounts applied. Costs shown for major inspections and component overhauls must be an average cost based on the use of new parts at list/catalogue price without any discounts applied. In addition, the costs must be shown in current US dollars. One paper or electronic copy of the various parts/component price catalogues must be included with the proposal.

In addition, one paper or electronic copy of the documentation that contains all inspection, overhaul and replacement items with the applicable interval (such as is contained in Chapter 5 of the Aircraft Maintenance Manual using the ATA-100 chapter convention) must be included with the proposal.

Following is a detailed explanation of the data required.

1.1.1 Fuel consumption per hour based on one hour mission profiles

Mission profiles are defined in Section B-4 of the solicitation. One mission sortie is assumed to be one hour and this duration will be used for this analysis.

1.1.2 Minor scheduled and unscheduled maintenance parts and labor per hour

Minor scheduled maintenance includes all scheduled maintenance with intervals of one year or less. Unscheduled maintenance includes all unscheduled maintenance that is required as a the direct result of the scheduled maintenance discussed above as well as any other unscheduled maintenance that occurs in between scheduled maintenance.

The labor required should be expressed as Labor Hours per Flight Hour (LH/FH) and the parts as Cost per Flight Hour ($/FH).

Enter this data in the appropriate cells for the airframe and systems, avionics, and the engines.

1.1.3 Major scheduled inspection and attendant unscheduled maintenance.

Major inspections include all scheduled maintenance that occurs at intervals greater than one year. It is assumed for this analysis that these inspections will be accomplished by a contract maintenance organization. Thus, an average cost that includes both parts and labor at a typical MRO labor rate should be used for this cost element.

Record the name of the inspection, its cost and its interval as shown in the approved maintenance documentation for this aircraft. If the interval has both an hour limit and a calendar limit, record both in the appropriate cells.

1.1.4 Overhaul or replacement of airframe and system components that have a fixed overhaul or replacement interval

The cost per flight hour for airframe and systems components and parts that have a fixed overhaul or replacement life will be calculated by dividing the total cost of the overhaul or replacement for the part or component by the TBO or life limit of the component/part.

If the part or component requires overhaul, the cost shown should be the average cost and include both the parts and the labor required. The labor cost should be calculated at a typical labor rate for a properly qualified vendor.

The cost of replacement parts or components should be the list or catalogue price as shown in the parts cost documentation submitted with this proposal.

If the overhaul or replacement interval has an hour limit as well as a cycle and/or a calendar limit, record all in the appropriate cells.

1.1.5 Overhaul or replacement of engine components that have a fixed overhaul or replacement interval

The cost per flight hour for engine components and parts that have a fixed overhaul/inspection or replacement life will be calculated by dividing the total cost of the overhaul/inspection or replacement for the part or component by the TBO or life limit of the engine or component/part.

For engines that require overhaul, the cost shown should be the average cost and include both the parts and the labor required. The labor cost should be calculated at a typical labor rate for an engine overhaul organization.

The cost of replacement parts or components should be the list or catalogue price as shown in the parts cost documentation submitted with this proposal.

If the overhaul or replacement interval has an hour limit as well as a cycle and/or a calendar limit, record all in the appropriate cells.

1.1.6 “On-condition” parts and components

The frequency of occurrence will be expressed per 1,000 flight hours. For example if the average unscheduled removal rate for a component is once every 10,000 hours, it should be expressed as 0.1 per 1,000 Hours, or 0.1/1,000 Hours.
