***Please reference the newly attached PWS (dated 13 Sep 22) to the solicitation with the following updates:

PWS 1.1 Maintenance - updated with the following - "Specifically, due to its proximity to the Flight Line, any restoration and painting work for the F-86 shall require any and all debris that is greater than or equal to two (2) inches to be collected and disposed of in accordance with Air Force standards to ensure foreign object debris (FOD) is not present on the Flight Line. In addition, EC 130 is coated in aircraft paint and primer. It does contain hexavalent chromium and will require the use of HEP vacuums with sanders. All dust should be captured as best as possible. If choosing to pressure wash the aircraft after sanding, all water will need to be captured in some way. If you choose to wipe the aircraft down with a solvent, then the waste rags will need to be disposed of as hazardous waste.”

PWS 1.1.5 Painting - updated with the following - "Latex paint shall not be used when painting the aircraft, as it is not an acceptable solution, however, contractor(s) may use any other paint as long as it meets the pertinent requirements contained herein this PWS."

1. Can you provide lighting?

Yes, mission permitting.

2. Will the government provide any stencils?

Contractor is responsible for the stencils. Government will provide the radiation and bio stickers as well as the correct markings and data. Some of the planes have incorrect tail numbers currently on them.

3. Do repairs need to be fiberglass?

We prefer fiberglass and less Bondo if possible.

4. Do we need to repair any small dents or dings?

No

5. What kind of bird proofing do you want?

We prefer chicken wire for anywhere that is open, bird spikes for the top of any vertical fins.

6. Can we spray the landing gear?

The wheels yes, not the tires.

7. Can we work on multiple planes at once?

If multiple task orders are issued within the same time, yes. This is an IDIQ with task orders that will be issued as funding comes available.

8. What product was used on the F-105?

AUE-360 catalyzed industrial urethane.

9. Do we need to paint the underside of the planes?

Yes, even if the planes are low to the ground and it cannot be seen, the underside needs to be painted as it helps prevent corrosion. This also includes the blades.

10. Can we walk on the planes?

Yes, carefully.

11. What type of paint is currently on the planes?

Latex. All primer and chromates were removed before the latex was applied.

12. Regarding the F-86 (aka plane on a stick): Do we have to capture the peeling?

Yes, all peeling must be captured as it is close to the flightline. The PWS has been updated to reflect this requirement.

13. Regarding the EC 130: Do we have to capture anything?

EC 130 is coated in aircraft paint and primer. It does contain hexavalent chromium and will require the use of HEP vacuums with sanders. All dust should be captured as best as possible. If choosing to pressure wash the aircraft after sanding, all water will need to be captured in some way. If you choose to wipe the aircraft down with a solvent, then the waste rags will need to be disposed of as hazardous waste. The PWS has been updated to reflect this requirement.
