This is a Price Schedule attachment for RFP 9002, a helicopter services contract issued by the Orlando Utilities Commission (OUC) in Florida. The RFP seeks a qualified FAA-certified helicopter operator to provide routine aerial inspection flights of OUC's transmission line assets, including transmission power line inspections, aerial surveys for structure and line conditions, right-of-way vegetation management, and thermography of splices and dead ends. The project requires a 4-seat helicopter with OUC employees accompanying the pilot to perform data collection, photography, and visual inspection activities. Inspections are typically conducted at slow ground speeds (less than 20 knots) and include hovering periods for infrared thermography work.

The price schedule requires bidders to submit hourly rates for three categories of 4-seat helicopter services: low-speed flight time, ferry time (high speed), and standby time (ground). Bidders must also specify helicopter specifications including model, fleet size, power type (piston or turbine), maximum airspeed, passenger/cargo weight capacity, fuel capacity, hourly fuel consumption rate, average flight hours per tank, city of origin, and ferry time to/from Orlando Executive Airport. Additional pricing considerations include minimum billable hours per scheduled inspection event, normal and emergency response times, shortest notice time for service requests, whether fuel is included in hourly rates, and any fuel adjustment formulas based on indices such as CPI. Bidders must provide detailed descriptions of hourly billing processes and any other pricing elements applicable to the contract.
