GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

B1 Scope of Contract

B1.1 The intent of this contract is to obtain fully Contractor-operated and maintained on-call helicopter flight services to transport personnel and/or cargo in support of Government natural resource missions in Alaska. Contractor services include provisions of a helicopter, personnel, and all other associated equipment, as prescribed in this solicitation.

Missions will include, but are not limited to, interagency fire management program support such as fire suppression, fire monitoring, initial attack, prescribed fire and aerial ignition, rehabilitation seeding, search and rescue, aerial capture, eradication and tagging of animals (ACETA), overwater, platform and vessel landings, and law enforcement limited to nonthreatening surveillance, and other administrative and related natural resource activities. The Government will direct aircraft to support its missions and objectives.

B1.2 The Government and Contractor must establish an effective working relationship to successfully complete this contract. The Contractor’s employees’ cooperation, professionalism, and positive attitude 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 and State agencies and private landholders and may dispatch aircraft under this contract for such cooperative use.

B1.4 Offshore, vessel landings, and extended overwater flight activities are permitted under this contract if offered and awarded by the Government. (See the Exhibits in

Section C.) Award of this item will be discretionary by the

Government.

B1.5 Government pilot operations are authorized if that capability is offered and awarded in the Contractor’s contract. Award of this item will be discretionary by the

Government. (See Section B20.11 and the Exhibits in

Section C.)

B1.6 ACETA operations are permitted if that capability is offered and awarded in the Contractor’s contract. Award of the item will be discretionary by the Government. (See the

Exhibits.)

B1.7 Alaska Fire and Interagency Fire operations are permitted if those capabilities are offered and awarded in the

Contractor’s contract. Award of this item will be discretionary by the Government. (See the Exhibits.)

B1.8 Aircraft furnished under this contract may be requested to perform in Alaska, Canada, or any of the conterminous 48 States.

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 A Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Air Carrier or Operating Certificate which authorizes the Contractor to operate in the category and class of aircraft and under flight conditions required by this contract (e.g., rotorcraft, visual flight rules (VFR) day/night, passengers, and cargo).

B2.2 A Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR)

Part 135 Air Carrier certificate. These aircraft must be carried on the list required by 14 CFR Part 135.63 or

Operations Specifications Part D085, "Aircraft Listing," as appropriate. (Note: Not applicable for aircraft issued a

Restricted Airworthiness Certificate only.)

B2.3 A 14 CFR Part 133 "Rotorcraft External Load

Operations" certificate which authorizes Class B loads, as a minimum.

B2.4 A 14 CFR Part 137 "Agricultural Aircraft Operations" certificate. (Mandatory requirement for Alaska Fire and

Interagency Fire Approval--Otherwise only when required by operations)

B2.5 The contract aircraft must have a Standard

Airworthiness certificate or a Restricted Airworthiness

Certificate. Installation of any equipment required by this contract must be FAA approved.

B2.6 The contractor must also notify OAS 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: (1) typed provisions of these specifications; (2)

OAS supplements and/or exhibits incorporated by reference;

(3) 14 CFR incorporated by reference; (4) aircraft manufacturer's specifications; (5) other documents incorporated by reference.

B4 Contracts and Task Orders

B4.1 The Contractor must maintain a complete, current printed copy of the contract and all modifications in each contract aircraft throughout the performance period.

On-Call Turbine Helicopter 42 SOLICITATION NO. D14PS00713

B4.2 The pilot must have task order information (i.e. task number, performance period) in his/her possession prior to any flights under this contract and make this information available to government representatives on request.

Following receipt of a printed task order, the pilot will carry a hard copy of the task order in the aircraft.

B4.3 Electronic copies of contracts and task orders may be used, however an electronic copy of the contract does not cancel the requirement to keep a printed copy of the contract in the aircraft.

EQUIPMENT REQUIREMENTS

B5 Condition of Equipment

B5.1 The Contractor-furnished helicopter(s), fuel servicing vehicle, and all other required 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.

B5.2 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.

B5.3 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 or

FAA acceptable limits.

B5.4 See the Unacceptable Lap Belt and Shoulder Harness

Conditions Exhibit (Section C) for lap belt and shoulder harness conditions that are not acceptable.

B6 Aircraft Equipment Requirements

The Contractor must provide at least one small or medium, (not more than 12,500 pounds approved gross weight), fully compliant helicopter that meets the minimum aircraft requirements specified in Section A and is equipped as identified herein.

B6.1 A complete set of current aeronautical charts covering area of operations.

B6.2 One digital hour meter installed in a location visible by the pilot and front seat observer while seated. The meter must be wired in series with a switch on the collective control, and a switch activated by engine or transmission oil pressure or by equivalent means, to record flight time only.

B6.3 Free air temperature gauge.

B6.4 One set of individual lap belts for each installed seat.

B6.5 Double-strap shoulder harness with automatic or manual locking inertia reel for each front seat occupant.

Shoulder straps and lap belts must fasten with one single-point metal-to-metal, quick-release mechanism. Heavy-duty

(military-style) harnesses with fabric loop connecting the shoulder harness to the male portion of the lap belt buckle are acceptable.

B6.6 Shoulder harnesses (inertia reel, if manufactured for the make and model of aircraft offered), either single-strap or double-strap for each aft cabin occupant. Shoulder harness straps and lap belts must fasten with a single-point, metal-to-metal, quick-release mechanism.

B6.7 Fire extinguisher(s), as required by 14 CFR Part 135, must be a handheld bottle, minimum 2-B:C rating, mounted and accessible to the flight crew while seated. (See the fire extinguisher maintenance instructions in Section B29.)
