U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 7 Airplane Services for Midway Atoll and Palmyra Atoll NWRs

A1.1 Midway Atoll NWR. The Government guarantees 24 round trip flights under an annual task order for five years (if the individual option years are exercised) between Honolulu and Midway Atoll. FWS plans to issue an annual flight schedule with round trip flights between Honolulu and Midway Atoll scheduled about every two weeks apart. Night flight operations are required in and out of Midway Atoll during the seabird nesting and chick rearing period (from November through July) to mitigate the risk of bird strikes. See the contract exhibit after Section C for additional information regarding Midway Atoll. Payment for flight services to and from Midway Atoll is based on round trip prices, not by the flight hour.

A1.2 Palmyra Atoll NWR. The Government does not guarantee any flights annually between Honolulu and Palmyra Atoll;

however, the FWS usually plans for four to six round trips per year. Round trip flights to Palmyra Atoll are intermittent but usually scheduled several months in advance. Aircraft landings and takeoffs at Palmyra Atoll shall be conducted during daylight hours. The Nature Conservancy (TNC) is a FWS cooperator at Palmyra Atoll NWR. TNC also contracts for round trip flight services between Palmyra Atoll and Honolulu which allows for FWS passengers on TNC's flights. See the contract exhibit after Section C for additional information regarding Palmyra Atoll. Payment for flight services to and from Palmyra Atoll is by the flight hour.

A1.3 Temporary Aircraft. The Government understands that potential offerors may have to locate and/or modify an aircraft that will meet some or all of the target requirements and be capable of transporting 13-19 passenger that it does not currently have on the aircraft listing under its Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) operations specifications. If necessary, the Contractor may propose a temporary aircraft while a permanent contract aircraft is being prepared. The Contractor may utilize a temporary aircraft; however, the temporary aircraft must have at least 12 passenger seats, payload capability of at least 3,400 pounds, comply with the other minimum aircraft requirements stated above, and be equipped in accordance with Section B.

A5 Funding for Task Orders and Contract's Minimum Guarantee

A5.1 Funding will not be obligated under the Indefinite-Delivery Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) contract. Instead, the Contracting Officer will issue individual task orders for Midway Atoll and Palmyra Atoll for each contract year covered under the contract. Each task order will obligate funding for the payment of aircraft services to Midway Atoll or Palmyra Atoll. The Contracting Officer may have to issue other funded task orders for the special needs of the Government. Only an Interior Business Center (IBC) Contracting Officer can issue task orders under this contract.

A5.2 The Minimum Guarantee under the contract, as required by contract clause 52.216-22, is the total amount for the guaranteed round trips to Midway Atoll under the first year’s task order; however, the minimum guaranteed quantity is subject to reductions due to unavailability (see C25, Unavailability and Damages). No other quantities in the schedule are subject to the minimum guarantee terms of 52.216-22 (see C6A).

A6 Aviation Fuel Information

IMPORTANT NOTICE: The round trip prices and the hourly flight rates you propose are subject to adjustment, up or down, due to the fluctuation in jet fuel price at the location referenced below. It is important for you to understand the ramifications of the contract's Economic Price Adjustment clause (see C19). The referenced price below should be considered when developing the round trip and hourly flight rates offered in your proposal. If the price per gallon for jet fuel drops significantly, the Government is entitled to a downward adjustment to the round trip prices and 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 negotiate price adjustments, up or down, based upon its aircraft fuel consumption information and the current price of fuel at the time the adjustment is requested by either party.

FOR GOVERNMENT USE ONLY – DO NOT WRITE IN THIS AREA

The Contracting Officer will complete at time of award and again if fuel adjustments are made.

See paragraph B25.1.1. The contract rates in the schedule, both round trip and hourly, for providing commercial aviation services are wet rates and include all fuel costs.

The contractor will not be reimbursed for aviation fuel purchases, including purchases from FWS or TNC.

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

B1 Scope of Contract

B1.1 The overall purpose of this contract is to obtain on-call aircraft services for the transportation of personnel and/or cargo in support of natural resource management activities, search and rescue, aerial survey, administrative and related activities to support the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) activities supported out of Honolulu, Hawaii.

B1.1.1 Mandatory Aircraft Services. The primary purpose of the contract is to provide aircraft services for Midway Atoll National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) and Palmyra Atoll NWR.

The contractor must provide aircraft services in support of Midway Atoll and Palmyra Atoll as scheduled by the Government. Christmas Island (Kiribati) is the nearest alternate landing location for Palmyra Atoll NWR. (See the contract exhibits for Midway Atoll and Palmyra Atoll NWRs after Section C.)

B1.1.2 Aircraft Services for Other Pacific Locations. The Contractor is not required to provide aircraft services for other Pacific locations other than Midway Atoll and Palmyra Atoll.

However, the Contractor may elect to perform aircraft services for other Pacific locations including other Hawaiian islands, the West Coast of the United States, or Alaska. Only a IBC Contracting Officer (CO) can negotiate with the Contractor and issue an order for aircraft services for other Pacific locations (i.e. U.S. West Coast, Alaska, other Hawaiian islands, Wake Atoll, or Johnston Atoll, etc.).

B1.2 The Government and Contractor must establish an effective working relationship to successfully complete this contract. FWS has contracts and cooperative agreements with other contractors and nonprofit organizations (i.e. The Nature Conservancy (TNC)) which provide mission support services on behalf of FWS at Honolulu International Airport, Midway Atoll NWR, and Palmyra Atoll NWR. The Contractor’s employees’ cooperation, professionalism, and positive attitude toward aviation safety and accomplishment of the FWS' mission are an integral element of this relationship.

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

B1.4 Animal Strikes. The locations requiring aircraft services may have high numbers of a variety of birds. Bird populations may vary throughout the year, and flying behavior also may vary throughout the day and night. Other animals (i.e. crabs, seals, and turtles) also may be present on landing or taxi surfaces. The Contractor accepts the risks and consequences of animal strikes.

B1.5 FWS plans to schedule its needs for aircraft services well in advance with the Contractor. During any period of time needed for cargo handling, flight services, and while on the ground at Midway Atoll or Palmyra Atoll, the aircraft furnished shall be subject to the exclusive use and control of the Government. The Government may schedule overnight/overday stays of one to seven nights/days on Midway Atoll or Palmyra Atoll (see C26.5).

B1.6 Cargo. The loading and unloading of cargo for flights to and from Midway Atoll is conducted by a FWS facilities contractor. The loading and unloading of cargo for flights to and from Palmyra Atoll is usually conducted by TNC and/or FWS personnel. The government will notify the contractor of required show times for cargo loading for each flight. It is very important that the aircraft be ready for loading at the designated show time and the Contractor have a representative available to supervise the loading.

B1.7 International Flights. Flights returning from Midway Atoll and Palmyra Atoll are considered international flights originating from outside of the State of Hawaii and must be cleared by both the U.S. Customs and Border Protection and the Hawaii Department of Agriculture.

B2 Certification

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

B2.1 A Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Air Carrier Certificate which authorizes the Contractor to operate in the category and class of aircraft and under flight conditions required by this contract (e.g., airplane, multiengine, visual flight rules (VFR), instrument flight rules (IFR), day/night, passengers, and cargo, Class II Navigation, carriage of hazardous materials (Will Carry), and authorization to operate a turbo jet aircraft on an other than hard surface runway, specifically compacted coral).

B2.2 Aircraft shall be identified as required by 14 CFR Part 121.135(7) or 135.63 or Operations Specifications Part D, “Aircraft Listing,” as appropriate. Aircraft shall be fully equipped to carry the number of passengers offered in accordance with the standards of 14 CFR Part 121 or 135, as appropriate.
