1.0 DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES

1.1. The Contractor shall provide all personnel, services, equipment, tools, oil, facilities, supervision and direct materials necessary for the performance of the air transportation services hereunder, including sufficient number of ground personnel for adequate maintenance and ground operation, except as otherwise noted in this contract. The Contractor’s price includes all costs of performance (including spares, aircraft basing, lodging, crew rotation costs, and aircraft heaters sufficient to support operations in the Arctic environment) and costs for fuel handlers, except for items covered under reimbursable expenses. The Contractor must comply with the provisions of the Canada Transportation Act, S.C. 1996, c. 10, the Aeronautics Act, R.S.C. 1985, c. A-2, the Canadian Aviation Regulations, SOR/96-433 and with all regulations, directions, orders and rules made pursuant to those Acts which are applicable to the services to be performed under the Contract. In particular, the Contractor must hold a valid Air Operator Certificate issued by Transport Canada and a valid license issued by the Canadian Transportation Agency. Carriers must comply with Commercial Air Standards 702, 203, & 704 as applicable for the specific operational requirements required by this contract and the type of aircraft used.

1.2. Prior to contract start the Contractor shall furnish the Contracting Officer/Contracting Officer’s Representative (CO/COR) with the name, address, and telephone number of an agent who will serve as a liaison between the Contractor and the CO/COR. The agent must have authority to schedule contract services. The agent shall be available by telephone at all times.

1.3. During the last week of each month, the O&M Contractor will provide the Contractor with a tentative flight schedule for the following month. At least 24 hours prior to the scheduled departure time, the O&M Contractor and the Contractor shall mutually agree to the actual flight departure time.

1.4. Contractor uncontrollable delays/diversions. In the event a flight is delayed/diverted because of weather or other uncontrollable factors, a minimum waiting period of four (4) hours is required before a flight can be canceled. The final decision for flight cancellation due to weather rests with the aircraft commander. Canceled flights shall be rescheduled and operated within 24 hours or as mutually agreed between the Contractor and the Operations and Maintenance (O&M) Contractor on the direction of the Government. If the crew must remain overnight (RON) through no fault of the Contractor or at the specific request of the CO/COR or HQ ACC AMIC Det 1 Representative, the Contractor will be reimbursed per diem rates consistent with Treasury Board of Canada, www.tbs-sct.gc.ca. Food and lodging arrangements are the Contractor’s responsibility at the Base of Operations (except for Cambridge Bay and Fox-Main). The Government will reimburse the Contractor in accordance with the contract schedule.

1.5. Flight delays/diversions caused by such events as maintenance (planned or un-planned), equipment failure, and crew problems are considered Contractor controllable delays and shall be at the Contractor’s expense.

1.5.1. The contractor shall maintain a 95% reliability rate annually monthly by subtracting the total number of contractor-controllable delayed departures at the originating and en route stations from the contractor’s total number of scheduled departures and stating this as a percentage of total departures.

1.5.2. A delay shall be deemed to have occurred at the originating or en route station if the contractor’s aircraft departs the blocks more than 20 minutes (120 minutes when the flight was scheduled with less than 48 hour notice) after the scheduled departure time, except in those instances when the aircraft arrives at the next scheduled destination on time. Delays at originating and en route stations caused by factors beyond the control and without fault or negligence of the contractor shall be considered as contractor-uncontrollable; a delay for any other reason shall be considered contractor-controllable. Immediately following a delay an Aircraft Unavailability Record (Attachment 2) will be completed. The contractor-uncontrollable delay time experienced at the origination and en route stations on a mission shall be added to the scheduled departure time at the next en route station for purposes of determining the scheduled departure time at that station on that mission. When an aircraft is unavailable for a period of more than 48 hours with no substitution pursuant to FAR 52.212-4, the government’s financial obligation under the appropriate “Basing Fee” CLIN will be reduced by the pro-rated cost directly equal to the number of days that the aircraft was not available.

1.5.3. Failure to maintain a 95% schedule reliability rate will be reason for terminating the contract pursuant to FAR 52.212-4; however, nothing in this paragraph shall limit the right of the Government to terminate this contract for cause for other reasons or to limit any other rights and remedies provided the Government by law or under this contract.

1.5.4. The contractor may refuse any mission for safety reasons. However, missions must be rescheduled and flown as agreed to by NWS O&M Contractor.

1.6. The Contractor will obtain a flight number from the O&M Contractor prior to leaving the base of operations. This flight number will remain unchanged until the aircraft returns to its assigned base, or reaches its final destination if being repositioned.

1.7. The type of aircraft will depend on weather, urgency of requirements, estimated time to perform the work, distances to and between sites and absolute limitations of civil twilight. Aircraft performing the “supplemental” missions must have precision sling capability to the designated point. Aircraft performing the “main rotary” mission will be non-percision sling and will be IFR & night VFR capable, be crewed by two pilots, and be capable of night landings at unprepared landing zones during the period of 1 Oct - 31 Mar. List of Aircraft (Attachment 3) will be submitted to ACC AMIC/PKB for approval prior to Aircraft being used for mission purposes as well as if there are any updates to aircraft fleet.

1.8. The Contractor shall be required to carry a survival kit and two fire extinguishers on the aircraft.

1.9. The Contractor shall be responsible for the removal from all North Warning System (NWS) sites all hazardous, unused and waste materials owned or generated in the operations of the Contractor owned aircraft. Examples of such materials include, but are not limited to; unserviceable aircraft component and parts, used engine fluids, and any used or unusable petroleum, oil, and lubricants (POL) products.

1.10. The Contractor shall provide a daily flight log (Attachment 5) within 24 hours upon completion of each mission to the NWS O&M Contractor through the Logistic Support Site (LSS) Manager. Flight Logs will include any required per diem, lodging, and landing fees. In addition, the contractor shall perform a visual fuel sampling, a clear and bright test, each time NWS fuel is taken and annotate the flight log to reflect fuel sampling has been accomplished. If commercial fuel is acquired, then the contractor shall annotate the cost and location of where the fuel was purchased.

1.10.1. On days when there is no mission scheduled and when the scheduled mission cannot be performed due to weather at the distant site, the pilot will, on a weekly basis, report the weather conditions at all the sites within that zone. This applies to the “main rotary” and “supplemental” missions. The contractor will consolidate inputs from the zones and forward a Consolidated Mission Report to ACC AMIC Det-1 (NWSO) along with the twice-monthly invoice package.

1.10.2. Cancelled flights will be documented on a zero-hour flight log, and included in the invoice package. Such logs shall indicate the date of cancellation and the specific reason for cancellation in the remarks section. Flight’s cancelled “due to weather” will include a copy of the specific weather leading to cancellation.

1.11 PROHIBITED ACTIVITIES

1.11.1. All air carrier employees are prohibited from possessing alcoholic beverages on any North Warning System site.

1.11.2. Weapons are normally prohibited on North Warning Sites. The Contractor must ensure that weapons are secured at all times in a designated area as determined by the O&M Contractor.

The Contracting Officer shall be notified immediately of any off-loading.

1.13 RESPONSIBILITY FOR GOVERNMENT CARGO

1.13.1. To the extent insurance required by this contract is not required for payment of third party claims, the balance of said insurance shall apply to Government cargo loss, damage or destruction thereto. In the event of an accident, the Contractor shall be responsible for providing continuous protection of all cargo aboard the aircraft and for delivery of the cargo to the point designated by the COR or HQ ACC AMIC Detachment 1 personnel.

1.14 FLIGHT SCHEDULE

1.14.1. The North Warning System Operations and Maintenance contractor (NWS O&M) will provide the Contractor with a tentative flight schedule for the following month. The Contractor will coordinate downtime for scheduled maintenance (not to exceed 48 continuous hours without CO/COR, AMIC Det 1 personnel approval) with the LSS manager for inclusion on the monthly schedule. At least 24 hours prior to the scheduled departure time, the O&M Contractor and the airlift contractor shall mutually agree to the actual flight departure time to include flexibility in preparing airlift to other sites in case of inclement weather conditions for the primary scheduled destination. The Contractor shall not initiate any action to perform any work under this contract, which would exceed the contracted amount. The nature of NWS will occasionally require flights to be added to the monthly schedule after publication. The contractor shall have the aircraft positioned and ready to take on passengers or cargo in accordance with this PWS and shall meet all scheduled take-off times. ACC AMIC Det-1 personnel retain the authority to amend any direction given to the contractor by the O&M contractor.
