A3.2 AVIATION FUEL INFORMATION

The contract's hourly flight rates are subject to economic price adjustments (EPA) for changes in the price of the Jet Fuel (CONUS) fuel base price (see C14, Economic Price Adjustment-Fuel).

IMPORTANT NOTICE: The hourly flight rates proposed are subject to adjustment, up or down, due to the fluctuation in jet fuel price from the reference below. It is important for the contractor to understand the ramifications of the contract's Economic Price Adjustment clause (see C14). The referenced price below (in this section) should be considered when developing the hourly flight rates offered in your proposal. If the referenced price per gallon for jet fuel changes in accordance with section C14, the Government or contractor is entitled to an adjustment to the hourly flight rates based upon the change in fuel price per gallon and the economic cruise speed and fuel consumption of the contract aircraft. The Contractor agrees to accept price adjustments, up or down, based upon its aircraft fuel consumption information and the current reference price of jet fuel at the time of the adjustment. The adjustments will be made via issuance of a bilateral modification, which must be agreed to by both parties prior to being fully executed.

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

B1 Scope of Contract

B1.1 The intent of this contract is to obtain fully contractor operated and maintained Air Tactical Type I aircraft for fire suppression and/or all-risk missions when ordered. Contractor must provide fully operational remote sensing equipment capable of intelligence data collection, fire detection, mapping, aerial supervision, and tactical ground support. Contractor will be required to perform these services seven days a week. For each day the aircraft is required to be available; the Contractor must provide an Airborne Remote System Operator (ARSO) to operate and maintain the sensor system on all missions. The Government will provide the Air Tactical Group Supervisor (ATGS). Missions include initial and extended attack fires, in support of nationwide interagency federal wildland fire and other emergency all-risk missions during all hazard incident operations.

B.1.1.1 The aircraft awarded under this contract must be capable of performing fire detection, mapping, aerial supervision and provide air-to-ground tactical support. It is important to note that this contract will be part of the national response framework for the suppression of wildland fires and/or other emergency all-risk missions that may be dispatched at the direction of the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) for the two Exclusive Use contracts. 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.

B1.1.2 The aircraft will be used for incident support and may also be used for law enforcement, administrative flights, and other special use missions in support of government operations. Law enforcement will be limited to non-threatening surveillance and reconnaissance.

B1.1.3 The intent of the Sensor requirement is to provide aerial supervision and provide intelligence data by imagery, full motion video, and data while operating at altitudes between 3,500’ and 20,000’ AGL during complex and emerging incident(s) in the wildland fire and other emergency incidents. The resource provides enhanced situational awareness for the Air Tactical Supervisor and incident management personnel by producing real-time and near real-time information. Missions may include fire detection, mapping, full-motion video capture and recording.

B1.1.4 The minimum crew configuration for the mission of three (3) is:

• One flight crew (PIC) (Contractor)

• One government Air Tactical Group Supervisor (ATGS)

• One Mission Sensor Operator (Contractor)

• Optional government Secondary ATGS, Trainee, or Instructor as needed

B1.2 The Government and Contractor must establish an effective working relationship to successfully complete these contracts.

The cooperation, professionalism, and positive attitude of the Contractor’s employees toward aviation safety and accomplishment of the mission are an integral element of this relationship.

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

B1.4 During any task order period, aircraft furnished shall be subject to the exclusive use of the Government.

B1.5 This aircraft may be dispatched to Alaska. For the Alaska-specific equipment and/or operational requirements, refer to the Alaska Supplement Exhibit (see Section C).
