FWC SOLICITATION ADDENDUM 2

BEGIN ADDENDUM

QUESTION #1

Can the customer provide a document with the Bell configuration of the aircraft to be delivered? (equipment, add on options, etc.) Previous ITB stated aircraft would be delivered per FWC 21/22-80, but contractor would appreciate additional clarity as that ITB included a searchlight.

ANSWER #1

Please refer to FWC 21/22-80 for equipment and add on options. FWC will relocate the aircraft from Bell to one of our established aircraft locations in Florida when the aircraft construction is complete. The aircraft will then be moved to the modification vendor by FWC.

QUESTION #2

Will the aircraft be delivered with front and rear hard points installed by the factory?

ANSWER #2

Yes

QUESTION #3

What instrument panel will be provided in the aircraft by Bell?

ANSWER #3

Expanded Avionics Shelf (AA) and expanded instrument panel

QUESTION #4

Contractor assumes the aircraft will be delivered NVG compliant. With the updates to the aircraft should the contractor include the NVG STC amendments to the Mission console pricing? Can the FWC add an item to update the STC as it will be required once new equipment has been installed?

ANSWER #4

Yes, the aircraft will be delivered to the modification vendor already under the NVG STC from Aerodynamix. FWC can add an additional pricing line if additional NVG STC updates are needed during equipment modifications.

QUESTION #5

• With the ARS-700C being at end of life does the FWC want the ARS-750 to be quoted?

FWC SOLICITATION ADDENDUM 3

ANSWER #5

Considering that the ARS-750 is the most current system, FWC welcomes quotes including this equipment. Please see below for the updated Scope of Work and Price Sheet.

QUESTION #6

Will the FWC confirm that the pricing in each section of the pricing table should be for quantity two and not per aircraft?

ANSWER #6

The price sheet is for two (2) 2022-2023 Bell Jet Ranger X Helicopters.

QUESTION #7

Will the customer provide the OEM & models for the FWC provided radios to be installed or at least physical dimensions with mounting data? Space in the cockpit of this aircraft is limited. We would like to have a good idea of how the radio/s would fit for accurate pricing.

ANSWER #7

L3 Harris XG-75 is the current model used by FWC. However, FWC requests the capability to install other radios of like size to meet the needs of the agency if needed.

If a change in radios occurs, FWC will likely move to a radio of similar size (or smaller) with added capabilities reducing the need for multiple radios in the panel.

QUESTION #8

Will the aircraft have air conditioning system installed? If yes, will it have the cockpit instrument panel AC ducts?

ANSWER #8

Yes, the aircraft will come with air conditioning. The aircraft will be delivered with standard AC ducting.

QUESTION #9

We are requesting that FWC modify the requirement of the below section of the ITB:

4.1.7. BMS Downlink System - Heli Coder 4 transmitter, BMA-X-O Tracking Antenna, DLC50 Cockpit control panel and handheld Carry-Viewer 4 (CV4)

The BMS equipment listed in the ITB is not the most current or capable microwave downlink equipment available to law enforcement agencies. CNC would propose the following equipment for consideration by FWC:

Troll Systems Linkbox 2 transmitter

FWC SOLICITATION ADDENDUM 4

Troll Systems Mini-II high-performance directional antenna

ANSWER #9

FWC requests that vendors provide pricing for either the BMS system, or the Troll System. Please see below for the updated Scope of Work and Price Sheet.

QUESTION #10

Does the business have to be in Florida to be able to bid on this project? If not, what is the purpose of the physical address?

ANSWER #10

No. FWC needs to know the physical address of your company for delivery of the helicopters.

QUESTION #11

Would the Bell 206 experience be comparable to the Bell 505?

ANSWER #11

The ITB requires respondents that have completed or performed law enforcement modifications with at least one Bell 505 project. The requirements are listed in ITB 22/23- 11.

QUESTION #12

Expected date for helicopter delivery at maintenance facility for each helicopter.

ANSWER #12

Helicopter #1 June 2023 and Helicopter #2 July 2023.

QUESTION #13

Will the Aerodynamix NVG Cockpit Lighting STC need to be factored in as before in

ITB FWC 21/22-81?

ANSWER #13

Both aircraft will have the NVG STC completed before delivery to the modification vendor.

QUESTION #14

Can you please provide ARPA Financial Information Form for review?

FWC SOLICITATION ADDENDUM 5

ANSWER #14

Please refer to www.sam.gov for this form.

QUESTION #15

Are the two (2) helicopters expected to be delivered at the FWC facility in Tallahassee?

ANSWER #15

FWC will relocate the aircraft from Bell to one of our established aircraft locations in Florida when the aircraft construction is complete. The aircraft will then be moved to the modification vendor by FWC.

QUESTION #16

Will the new "Sealed Bids due" date and "Public Bid Opening" date be updated in the MyFloridaMarket Place website? Currently showing the older dates prior to Addendum 2.

ANSWER #16

Yes.

QUESTION #17

Is there an updated final equipment and modification list for the two helicopters?

ANSWER #17

Please visit the Vendor Information Portal to view the past advertisement for FWC 21/22-80 which includes the requested list in the Scope of Work.
