B-2 BIDDERS MAY QUALIFY THEIR BIDS - BIDDERS SHALL INDICATE BELOW THE MAXIMUM NUMBER OF ITEMS WILLING TO ACCEPT.

B-3AIRCRAFT PERFORMANCE SPECIFICATIONS (MINIMUM) TO BE USED FOR PROPOSAL EVALUATION PURPOSES AND AIRCRAFT WEIGHING AND WEIGHT VALIDATION
(a)Performance shall be based on minimum engine specification. Aircraft performance capabilities shall be determined by using the Standard Interagency Helicopter Load Calculation Method. (Exhibit 13, Interagency Helicopter Load Calculation)

Performance enhancing data (Power Assurance Checks, wind charts, etc) shall not be used. Only FAA approved charts based on minimum specification engine performance shall be used.

Use (Exhibit 13, Interagency Helicopter Load Calculation and Exhibit 12, Hourly Flight Rates, Fuel consumption, and Weight Reduction Chart) per aircraft type and the appropriate Hover Ceiling Charts (HOGE and HIGE) from the approved Rotorcraft Flight Manual with current supplements and changes as applicable.

For field operations use current temperature and elevation for performance planning purposes.

(b)Aircraft Weighing and Weight Validation
(1)The aircraft equipped weight is determined using weight and balance data, which was determined by actual weighing of the aircraft in accordance with the manufacturer’s requirements and configured in accordance with the contract specifications, as proposed. Additional weighing criteria:
(i)The weighing shall be accomplished by the Contractor or their agent.
(ii)All weighing of aircraft shall be performed on scales that have been certified as accurate within the previous one (1) year. The certifying entity may be any accredited weights and measures laboratory using standards traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The scales should be listed by make, model and calibration date in the aircrafts weight and balance documentation (See Form B, Exhibit 21).
(iii)Weighing shall be:
(A)Accomplished within 12 months prior to the due date of proposal submission, and
(B)At an interval of 24 months thereafter and / or
(C)Following any major repair or major alteration or change to the equipment list, which significantly affects the center of gravity of the aircraft.
(iv)Helicopter(s) under this solicitation shall:
(A)Remain at or below the contracted helicopter equipped weight as proposed in the base year of the contract. When there is a difference in the aircraft's weight between different sets of scales, scales shall be allowed a maintenance tolerance of .2 % (two tenths of a percent) of the scale reading for each set of scales. For example, a helicopter that weighed 6000 lbs on one scale set would be allowed a 12 lb tolerance on each scale set when compared. (Ref. NIST Handbook 44, Table 6).
(B)Be allowed a total of 1% above the contracted helicopter equipped weight as proposed during the combined contract option periods.
(v)Cowlings, doors and fairings shall not be removed to meet contract equipped weight for performance.
(vi)If the government requires additional equipment after contract award, no penalty will be assessed.
(2)After proposal evaluations and prior to or post award all Exclusive Use aircraft weighing shall be witnessed and validated by the Region 8 Agency Maintenance Inspector. If aircraft must be weighed post award it will be at the option of the Government. The objective of the second and separate weighing is to validate the contractor’s proposed weight as configured to comply with the solicitation requirements. Contractors are responsible for the costs associated with weighing the aircraft excluding Agency Aircraft Inspector costs.

All aircraft shall be weighed prior to start of the base year Mandatory Availability Period (MAP).
