Section 1 – Description of Services

1. Description of Services. The Contractor shall provide all specialized tools and equipment and qualified labor to inspect, test, maintain and repair the Lajes Field Air Force Base Mobile Aircraft Fire Trainer (MAFT) in a manner that will ensure their serviceability and prevent deterioration in operational effectiveness. The Contractor shall comply with this Performance Work Statement (PWS), Air Force Technical Order (TO) 35E1-2-13-1 (latest version in effect at the time utilized) Operation and Maintenance Instructions for Aircraft Live Fire Training Facilities (AFTF), commercial standards, manufacturers’ recommendations, procedures, and technical data, and local, state, and federal guidelines as applicable to the work involved. NOTE: Lajes Field MAFT is fueled by Butane gas, instead of Propane.

1.1. Additionally, all work being performed will ensure compliance with the applicable National Fire Protection Association national consensus standards listed below.

• NFPA 54, National Fuel Gas Code (2021 Edition)

• NFPA 58, Liquefied Petroleum Gas Code (2020 Edition)

• NFPA 70, National Electrical Code® (2020 Edition)

• NFPA 405, Standard for the Recurring Proficiency of Airport Fire Fighters (2020 Edition)

1.2. Inspection and Preventive Maintenance Services for Mobile Aircraft Fire Trainer (MAFT). The Contractor shall maintain one (1) MAFT and associated equipment and components - Butane Tank, Generator and Air compressor - currently located at Lajes Field AB. The Contractor shall perform all required inspections and preventive maintenance in accordance with commercial standards this PWS and Appendix 1A - USAF Live MAFT Inspection & Testing Requirements.

1.3. Minor Repair. The Contractor shall perform minor repairs as needed to keep the MAFT fully operational.

Minor repairs are defined as preventive inspection and maintenance measures to restore the trainer to its full operating capability without requiring a major repair as described in Para 1.4. The Contractor shall utilize spare parts to accomplish such servicing, if replacement spare parts are available on site. To facilitate prompt minor repairs, the Contractor shall maintain a readily accessible, secured box or container of essential equipment, basic supplies, and consumables at the MAFT location. If materials, supplies, and parts are needed and are not on site, the contractor shall determine what is required and submit a list to 765 ABS/CEF for approval. The Contractor is responsible for conducting market research to ensure the correct materials, supplies and parts are being procured. If any item exceeds a total value of $3,500.00, including shipping/handling costs, the Contractor will need to provide three different quotes for that specific item. The Government will order and pay for those items and have them available for installation. Repairs with ordered parts may be completed upon subsequent visit in accordance with a semi-annual performance of the contract or an earlier visit.

1.4. Major Repair. Major repairs are not included in this contract. All major repairs that deem the trainer unserviceable shall be reported to the Field Representative and referred to the Using Organization. Major repairs are defined as unexpected parts replacement (part failure for unknown reason), repairs that require additional site visits or back-ordering of parts, and repairs that require over $3,500.00 in parts to restore the trainer to its full operating capability.

Installation, testing and replacement of gas piping, gas utilization equipment or accessories, repair and servicing of equipment, shall be performed only by qualified personnel. Examples of major problems include: Any safety related condition that could lead to an imminent hazard such as: LPG piping or tank corrosion that has reduced the wall thickness to less than that required for the maximum allowable operating pressure. Any crack or other material defect that impairs the structural integrity or reliability of an LPG tank or piping. Any abnormal movement by environmental causes, such as earthquakes, landslides or floods that may impair the serviceability of a pipeline, tank, or controls. Any malfunction or operating error that causes the pressure of an LPG pipeline or tank to rise above its maximum allowable working pressure or a leak in the LPG pipeline or tank that constitutes an emergency

1.5. Frequency. The MAFT shall be inspected and preventive maintenance performed on a semi-annual basis inspection (not to exceed 180 days). Any conflict between this PWS and the technical order, commercial standards or manuals will be resolved in favor of the PWS required frequency.

1.6. Scheduling. The Contractor shall submit an initial inspection and preventative maintenance schedule to the Contracting Officer within fifteen (15) days after contract award. The Contractor shall coordinate and schedule actual inspection and maintenance dates/times with the applicable Field Representative to prevent conflicts with on-going missions or exercises. The Government will provide the Contractor a list of names and contact information for the Field Representative(s) at Lajes Field AFB.

1.7. Operational Check. The Government, as part of the initial scheduling process, will conduct a complete “operational check” of the trainer and provide the results to the Contractor at least two weeks before the Contractor is scheduled to arrive at each base.

1.8. Reports. The Contractor shall submit a complete report of all inspections, maintenance and servicing accomplished. An example format is included under Appendix 1A MAFT trainers. The reports shall be submitted to the Field Representative and Contracting Officer within 10 calendar days after completion of the inspection, maintenance or servicing.

The reports shall include a record of conditions found, repairs, recharging, and all replacement parts used. All records, documents, and associated papers provided by the Contractor or generated during the period of this contract become Government property and will be returned to the Government upon contract termination or completion.

During the contract period, all records, documents, and associated papers will be available for Government review.

1.9. Telephone and On-line Technical Support. The Contractor shall provide 24/7 Toll-free telephone and on-line support to facilitate simple troubleshooting and operator maintenance.

1.10. Equipment. The Contractor shall provide all specialized tools and testing equipment to accomplish maintenance and testing as required.

1.11. Travel. All costs for travel shall be included in the contract line items for maintenance and repair services.

1.12. Safety. Liquid propane used in the facility is potentially explosive. The fire department training ground is a non-smoking area. Personnel shall practice proper grounding procedures in accordance with the National Electric Code (NEC). Personnel shall wear appropriate protective clothing and be aware of emergency procedures to perform emergency shutdown and start-up.

1.13. Change in Place of Performance. It may be necessary to temporarily or permanently move aircraft LPG-fueled fire trainers (mobile and fixed facility) to a different site or location. The Government reserves the right to negotiate with the contractor any required change in place of performance.

A1.1. Trainer Specifics. The MAFT unit located a Lajes Field AFB, is composed by a Mobile Aircraft Fire Trained MA-500 and an O-100 Fuel Spill Fire Trainer, both manufactured by Kidde Fire Trainers, and both are fueled using Butane Gas. The O-100 Fuel Spill Fire Trainer uses both gas and liquid butane to operate.

The MA-500 is an instructor controlled, vapor butane-fueled, live fire training system mounted on a trailer that can be towed to a selected site and be quickly set up to provide safe and efficient fire training exercises for the types of fires normally associated with fixed wing aircraft. The MA-500 training fires include: Cockpit Fire;

Passenger area fire; Left Engine fire; 3D fire; Wheel/Brakes fire; Tail engine fire. The MA-500 MAFT unit is complemented by an O-100 Fuel Spill Fire Trainer, a Propane Tank Trailer for fuel delivery a Generator trailer for power delivery, and an air compressor that provided air to the Tank safety valves.
