For Airfield Operation and Management Services and Air Rescue and Fire Fighting

Services at U.S. Coast Guard Air Station Sacramento, McClellan, CA

Introduction The U.S. Coast Guard Shore Infrastructure Logistics Center (SILC) is procuring Airfield Operation and Management and Air Rescue and Fire Fighting Services for the U.S.

The purpose of the PWS is to define the work and scope of the requirement so that the Contractor can identify and provide Airfield Operation and Management and Air Rescue and Fire Fighting Services for U.S. Coast Guard Air Station, McClellan Field, McClellan, CA.

1.0 GENERAL

1.1 Mission The Air Station is a C-130 fixed wing aviation unit that performs a wide range of Coast Guard missions for the Eastern Pacific Area: from the west coast of the United States to areas west of Canada and south along the Baja California coast. The Air Station performs search and rescue, marine and environmental missions, and maintains a 24-hour immediate response capability, with a “ready” crew on duty at all times.

1.2 Scope. This Performance Work Statement (PWS) is for Airfield Services to be provided to the United States Coast Guard (hereafter called Coast Guard or Government) at McClellan or its successor named airfield (hereafter called Airfield) and to the Coast Guard located at Coast Guard Air Station, Sacramento (AIRSTA Sacramento). This requirement is made up of two major components: the first is Airfield Operation and Management services to include runways, taxiways, clear-zones, ramps and aircraft parking areas, navigational aids to support Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) Operations, Automated Weather Observation System (AWOS);and other airfield services such as airfield inspections and checks; an operations manual; an emergency plan; ground vehicles control; obstruction handling; wildlife hazard management; airport condition reporting; identifying, marking and reporting construction and other unserviceable areas. For this portion of the contract the Coast Guard reimburses only a portion of the County’s cost which they receive along with the reimbursement from the other airport tenants.

The second major component is for ARFF services which include training and staffing in accordance with COMDTINST M11320.1, provision of two ARFF vehicles and associated maintenance and repair, provision of ARFF necessary equipment and emergency communication systems, and environmental spill response. This portion of the contract represents over 85% of the total contract cost.
