About this file
This is a Question and Answer document for solicitation FA480025QA012 regarding shuttle bus services for the 2025 Langley Air Show. The document addresses key operational details for the air show shuttle services to be provided on April 26-27, 2025.
The Q&A clarifies that shuttle operations will run from approximately 0700-1600 daily, with security sweeps at 0600 and contingency operations possible until 1800. Air show performances begin mid-morning and conclude around 1500, though timing is subject to change. Drivers and vehicles do not need to be registered in Virginia but must meet state regulations, and out-of-state commercial driver's licenses are acceptable. The DOT 10-hour driving limit is noted as not applicable since shuttle service includes stop periods. The government intends to award to a single contractor unless the entire need cannot be fulfilled by one source. The prior year's requirement (2023) was split between two local school districts under contract numbers FA480023P0060 and FA480023P0058 due to last-minute solicitation challenges.

QUESTION AND ANSWER POOL - FA480025QA012
Questions:
1. I noticed the show hours listed are: 0600 – 1800. DOT regulations only allow for 10 hours of driving which include deadhead from the garage. Given the number of buses required.. do you have an estimated number of hours the drivers will be shuttling each day?
• We anticipate the 633d Security Forces Squadron to conduct a security sweep of all vehicles at 0600 with shuttling to begin between 0700-0800.
Shuttling should conclude by 1600, and 1800 is listed in the event of a contingency.
Also, as we understand the regulation and have been told, the 10 hours requirement is for non-stop driving, which shuttling does not fall under as there will be stop periods.
2. Are all buses and drivers required to be registered in the State of Virginia, or is it sufficient for them to meet the state’s transportation regulations and laws?
• They do not have to be registered in VA – only need meet state regulation.
3. Are all drivers required to hold a State of Virginia driver’s license, or will a Class C license from other states be permitted?
• Other states’ licenses will be accepted.
4. Will all vehicles be operating for 12 hours per day, from 0600 to 1800?
• 633 SFS will conduct a security sweep of all shuttle vehicles at 0600.
Shuttling is anticipated to take place from ~0700 – 1600; 1800 is listed in case of contingency.
5. What time does the air show start and conclude on April 26 and April 27?
• Performances begin mid-morning and are anticipated to conclude by 1500 (this is TBD and subject to change)
6. Will the entire Scope of Work be awarded to one company?
• The government intends to award this contract to one company unless it is determined the entire need cannot be fulfilled from one source.
7. Can you share what the winning bid looked like in 2023?
• This requirement was split last year due to last-min solicitation and lack of capable sources. The award numbers were FA480023P0060 and FA480023P0058, written to two local school districts.
