SECTION C – CONTRACT TERMS AND CONDITIONS

contract price will be adjusted as described below whenever the distance from the point of release to the Contractor's home base is greater than the distance between the Contractor's home base and the Designated/Reporting Base stipulated in Section A. No adjustments will be made when the point of release is less than the distance between the Contractor's home base and the Designated/Reporting Base.

C31.2 Flight distance will be measured using the most direct route taken from low level en route aeronautical charts. The net distance will be converted into hours of flight using the most economical cruise speed of the aircraft. The adjustment will be determined by multiplying the difference in distance (hours of flight) by the flight rate stipulated in Section A.

C31.3 Any adjustment for the fuel service/support vehicle mileage will be measured using the most direct route taken from the Household Goods Carriers' Bureau Mileage Guide developed by Rand McNally and Company or Mapquest.

C31.4 Distances that are greater than home base to the base stipulated in the Section A will result in a payment to the Contractor for the difference of the additional flight time and fuel service vehicle mileage, as appropriate.

C32 Additional Pay Items (from Schedule of Items)

Claims for additional pay items addressed herein must be documented on the invoice for payment and supported by in-voice(s) and/or document(s), as required below. The Government will not pay claims submitted with incomplete or missing supporting documentation.

C32.1.6 The Government is not contractually obligated to provide miscellaneous food/drinks/refreshments for Contractor employees at fire locations. While some locations may provide food/drink/refreshments to fire crews, including Contractor personnel, this intermittent availability does not create an ongoing Government obligation to furnish at every site/location.

C32.2 Fuel Service Vehicle Mileage. The Contractor will be paid the rate per mile stipulated in Section A for a fuel service vehicle meeting the requirements of this contract when it is dispatched to provide support to the aircraft away from the designated base.

C32.3.2 Furnish fuel and make a payment deduction using the following formula: Multiply the flight time flown with Government furnished fuel times the aircraft consumption rate shown in the Helicopter Hourly Flight Rates, Fuel Consumption and Weight Reduction Exhibit times the current base price for fuel shown in Section A. In addition to a flight hour entry, a fuel charge will be shown using a pay item code of FC in a whole dollar amount. The contract fuel charge amount may not be the same as the actual cost of the Government fuel utilized.

C32.4 Transportation Costs Associated with Operating Away From the Designated Base. When operating from an alternate base, the Contractor is required to provide for transporting relief personnel, unless otherwise directed by the Government.
