RFP-731-24-004-JC
Aircraft and Flight Training Services
THE PROPOSAL YOU ARE SUBMITTING FOR THE ABOVE RFP NUMBER MUST CONTAIN
THE FOLLOWING ADDITION(S).
Questions and Answers
1. 2.3.4 mentions the proposal being on 8.5x11 paper, but my understanding is that the submittal is digital via Bidnet direct-Can you clarify? A: Yes paper copies are not accepted-you will submit your response online through Bidnet
2. 3.3.2 mentions increasing operational support for up to 120 students in the initial contract term. Is there an anticipated Fall 2024 enrollment goal?
A: We anticipate an initial Fall 2024 term enrollment of up to 25 students.
3. 3.3.3 does not specify classroom training. Will this be conducted at TWU’s campus under the provider’s 141 certificate initially?
A: Yes. TWU will conduct classroom training at the Denton Campus. TWU will apply for a provisional pilot school certificate under FAR part 141.7 as soon as personnel are in place. If unable to obtain ground school air agency by fall 2024 the school will work with provider to include TWU instructors and space under provider’s 141 certification, initially.
4. 5.4 says audited financial statements if requested. Should the bidder not include financial statements and simply send them when/if requested? A: Only if requested
5. Exhibit 3: It seems that Private Pilot Flight is split into two labs. Are those intended to be taken in Freshman year?
A: Yes. Based on observation of other collegiate flight programs, completing Private Pilot certification in a single semester is an exception.
6. Exhibit 3: what year does TWU anticipate students taking CFI and CFII (professional pilot option)? Bidder thinks it is important for students to work as flight instructors during their senior year.
A: Agree with vendor. Assuming student is completing flight courses in a timely manner, we anticipate students would be able to instruct by 4th year (regardless of formal degree Plan of Study).
