SECTION B – TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

DOI Fixed Wing On-Call 18 Solicitation # 140D0425R0090 Alaska

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

B1 Scope of Contract

B1.1 The intent of this contract is to obtain fully Contractor operated and maintained on-call (OC) airplane flight services in support of fire and resource management activities and other government agency work in Alaska.

Missions may include law enforcement activities at various risk levels, as well as point-to-point transportation and special use flights. Examples of special use flights are identified in the supplements (Section B25). Operations involving aircraft in support of Government programs that require deviation from normal operating procedures, special pilot qualifications or techniques, or special aircraft requirements may necessitate additional approval procedures. This contract must NOT be utilized to obtain direct fire suppression aircraft and tactical fire support aircraft. However, this contract may be utilized to obtain logistical and reconnaissance aircraft that support fire. The Government will direct aircraft to support its missions and objectives. During the availability period and any subsequent extension, aircraft furnished shall be subject to the exclusive use and control of the Government.

B1.2 The Government and the Contractor must establish an effective working relationship to successfully complete this contract. The Contractor employees' cooperation, professionalism, and positive attitude toward accomplishment of the mission and aviation safety are an integral element of this relationship.

B1.3 The Government has interagency and cooperative agreements with other Federal and State agencies and private landholders and may dispatch aircraft under this contract for such cooperative use.

B2 Certifications

The Contractor must obtain and keep current all of the following required certificates and must ensure that contract aircraft are operated and maintained in compliance with those certificates at all times:

B2.1 The Contractor must hold a current Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Air Carrier and/or as appropriate an Operating Certificate. The Contractor’s Operations Specifications must authorize operation of the category and class of aircraft and conditions of flight required to complete missions for the Government.

B2.2 Aircraft used on this contract must be operated and maintained under provisions of 14 CFR Part 121 or 14 CFR Part 135. Aircraft operated under 14 CFR Part 135 must be carried on the list required by 14 CFR 135.63 unless otherwise authorized by the Contracting Officer (CO). Fractional- ownership aircraft must be operated under 14 CFR Part 135.

B2.3 The aircraft must have a Standard Airworthiness Certificate issued under 14 CFR 21.183 and if required a restricted airworthiness certificate issued under 14 CFR 21.25 and 21.185 to include the special purpose of forest and wildlife conservation work. Multiple Airworthiness Certifications may be required under 14 CFR 21.187. The installation of any equipment must be Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) approved.

B2.4 The Contractor must also notify OAS and the Contracting Officer of any changes in the Director of Operations, Chief Pilot, and Director of Maintenance positions, plus any additional positions approved under 14 CFR 119.69(b).

B3 Order of Precedence (Specifications)

In the event of inconsistencies within the technical specification, the following order will be used in such resolution:

(i) typed provisions of these specifications; (ii) DOI OAS supplements and/or exhibits incorporated by reference;

(iii) 14 CFR incorporated by reference; (iv) aircraft manufacturer's specifications; (v) other documents incorporated by reference.

B4 Contracts and Task Orders

B4.1 The Contractor must maintain a complete, current copy of the contract, contract modifications, current task orders (if applicable) and task order modifications (if applicable) in each contract aircraft throughout the performance period.

DOI Fixed Wing On-Call 19 Solicitation # 140D0425R0090 Alaska

B4.2 The pilot must have task order information (i.e. task order number, authorized aircraft, performance period, etc.) in their possession prior to any flights under this contract and make this information available to Government representatives on request.

B4.3 Electronic copies of contracts and task orders may be used; however, the Contractor is responsible for ensuring that the documents are uploaded on an appropriate viewing device (e.g., laptop or tablet), which must be charged and made available at the aircraft for reference by Government representatives upon request. Further, the Contractor must agree to hold the Government harmless for any inadvertent or accidental damage to the device.

EQUIPMENT REQUIREMENTS

B5 Condition of Equipment

The Contractor-furnished aircraft and equipment must be operable, free of damage, and in good repair. Aircraft systems and components must be free of leaks except where specified by the manufacturer.

B5.1 Prior to inspection and acceptance, the Contractor must permanently repair or replace all windows and windshields that have been temporarily repaired. All windows and windshields must be maintained at all times and must be clean and free of scratches, cracks, crazing, distortion, repairs, or tinting which hinder visibility.

B5.2 The aircraft interior must be clean and neat with no unrepaired tears, rips, or other damage. The exterior finish, including the paint, must be clean, neat, and in good condition. Any corrosion must be within manufacturer and/or FAA acceptable limits.

B5.3 See Exhibit 1 Unacceptable Lap Belt and Shoulder Harness Conditions for examples of lap belt and shoulder harness conditions that are not acceptable.

In all instances, the designated areas for collapse must be protected. Avionics equipment normally operated by both pilot and observer/copilot (FM-1, AUX-FM, audio control system, etc.) must be mounted in the optimum location for the make, model, and series of aircraft offered. Mounting(s) which offers full and unrestricted movement of each control to both the pilot and observer/copilot, when seated, without interference from clothing, cockpit structure, or flight controls, must be a goal in the selection of location.

B7.2.5 Transmitters shall not open squelch on, or interfere with, other AM or FM transceivers in the aircraft which are monitoring different frequencies. So-called “Transmit Interlock” functions must not be used with communication transceivers.
