1.4. Minor Repair. The Contractor shall perform minor repairs as needed and approved by the field representative at each base prior to the repairs. Minor repairs are defined as preventive inspection and maintenance measures to restore each trainer to its full operating capability without requiring a major repair as described in Para 1.5. The Contractor shall utilize spare parts to accomplish such servicing, if replacement spare parts are available on site. If materials, supplies, and parts are needed and are not on site, the contractor shall determine what is required and submit a quote to the USAFE HQ A4C office for approval. The quote shall include, at minimum, a detailed breakdown of the individual items needed, the price for each item, and the vendor(s) through which the item(s) are available. All minor repair items shall be purchased by the Government. The Contractor is not entitled to reimbursement under this contract for the cost of minor repair parts procured by the Government. Minor repair parts are not to exceed $3,000.00 in cost and may include shipping/handling costs. The Contractor is responsible for conducting market research to ensure the correct materials, supplies and parts are being procured and that the quote presented to the Government is the most cost effective solution. Repairs with ordered parts may be completed upon subsequent visit in accordance with a semi-annual performance of the contract or an earlier visit.

1.5. Major Repair. Major repairs are not included in this contract. All major repairs that deem the trainer unserviceable shall be reported to the Field Representative at each base and referred to the Using Organization. Major repairs are defined as unexpected parts replacement (part failure for unknown reason), repairs that require additional site visits or back-ordering of parts, and repairs that require over $3,000.00 in parts to restore the trainer to its full operating capability.

1.6. Frequency. Each trainer shall be inspected and preventive maintenance performed on a semi-annual basis. Any conflict between this PWS and the technical order, commercial standards or manuals will be resolved in favor of the PWS required frequency.

1.7. Scheduling. The Contractor shall submit an initial inspection and preventative maintenance schedule to the Contracting Officer within five (5) days after contract award. The Contractor shall coordinate and schedule actual inspection and maintenance dates/times with the applicable Field Representative of each base to prevent conflicts with on-going missions or exercises. The Government will provide to the Contractor a list of names and contact information for the Field Representative(s) at each base.

1.7.1. Operational Check. The Government, as part of the initial scheduling process, will conduct a complete “operational check” of each trainer and provide the results to the Contractor at least two weeks before the Contractor is scheduled to arrive at each base.

1.8. Reports. The Contractor shall submit a complete report of all inspections, maintenance and servicing accomplished. An example format is included under Appendix 1A through 1C for each type of trainer.

The reports shall be submitted to the Field Representative, Contracting Officer Representative (COR) and Contracting Officer within 10 calendar days after completion of the inspection, maintenance or servicing.

The reports shall include a record of conditions found, repairs, recharging, and all replacement parts used.

All records, documents, and associated papers provided by the Contractor or generated during the period of this contract become Government property and will be returned to the Government upon contract termination or completion. During the contract period, all records, documents, and associated papers will be available for Government review.

1.9. Telephone and On-line Technical Support. The Contractor shall provide 24/7 Toll-free telephone and on-line support to facilitate simple troubleshooting and operator maintenance.
