(c) The aircraft listed in Appendix 3A to this Solicitation must be of United States registry, suitable for CRAF allocation and must be subject to the contractor's control as of the date of its offer. Aircraft scheduled to transfer between members of a contract teaming arrangement after the date of offer may receive full mobilization value points, which will be allocated to one transferring carrier designated by the team. Aircraft not scheduled to be in the contractor's fleet at the start of the contract period, may be offered to CRAF after the start of the contract, when the aircraft becomes available for CRAF. Those aircraft shall be added to Appendix 3A and mobilization value points will be recalculated by the Government at the beginning of each quarter and issued via modification after contract award. The aircraft listed on Appendix 3A must be exclusive of those the offeror (1) is offering under the AMC solicitation for Domestic and Alaskan CRAF or (2) has committed to other FY09 contracts for air transportation.

(d) Offeror must demonstrate by evidence of ownership, lease arrangements or lease purchase agreements that the aircraft identified by FAA registration number under Appendix 3A (or any replacement aircraft satisfactory to the Air Force) are, as of the date of this offer, subject to its control and that the duration of this control is sufficient to cover the term of the commitment.

(See subparas (e)(2) and (e)(3) below). Proof of aircraft control (lease arrangements or lease purchase agreements) will be furnished if requested by the Contracting Officer. Control of aircraft will not be considered satisfactory if the lease or lease purchase agreement merely grants the right to the lessee to use subject to termination at will by the lessor or lessee. However, leases or agreements may be subject to cancellation and withdrawal of the aircraft if the lessee willfully breaches or fails to make rental or purchase payments, but in such case the lessee shall give notice in writing to the Contracting Officer no later than two (2) working days from receipt of cancellation notification or withdrawal of aircraft. Contractor shall submit with his offer a Statement of Offeror's Counsel dated as of the offer submission date in accordance with page K-6, Statement of Lease Conformance and page K-8, Statement of Offeror Regarding Lease Renewal/Purchase.

(e) Contractor Team Arrangement Agreements. The term Contractor Team Arrangement as used in this contract includes any and all permissible team arrangements identified in the Federal Acquisition Regulation and supplements thereto. Any teaming arrangements proposed for fulfillment of the requirements of this contract are subject to approval by the Government. All teaming arrangements must be documented and defined in a teaming arrangement agreement or similar document that defines the roles, responsibilities, and relationships of the parties thereto. All agreements shall be signed by all parties thereto. Contractor Team Arrangement Agreements must be submitted to USTRANSCOM/TCAQ-C no later than 1600 local time on Thursday, 15 May 08. Agreements submitted beyond such date may be reason for Contractor Team Arrangement non-approval. To be approved, a Contractor Team Arrangement must demonstrate a benefit to the Civil Reserve Air Fleet (CRAF) capability. The following items are required to be evident in any Contractor Team Arrangement agreement submitted for CRAF participation:

(1) One designated and authorized party to represent and bind the Contractor Team Arrangement in its dealings with the Government. This party shall submit and negotiate offers on basic and expansion for all members of the contractor team arrangement. This includes, but is not limited to, scheduling and agreement on all scheduled missions. In addition, primary team representatives may designate individual carrier representatives to negotiate reroutes and expansion business, and to sign modifications affecting reroutes or expansion business. Proposals that are part of a teaming arrangement shall be submitted as a single entity.

(2) The term of the agreement shall correspond to the contract terms and period. This means the entire period of the contract plus six (6) months and the entire period of any CRAF activation plus up to six (6) months thereafter.

(3) The agreement should evidence the commitment of aircraft by tail number for the entire periods stated in subparagraph

(2) above.

(4) The agreement shall not have any terms contrary to the terms of the contract.

(5) Agreements entered into between offerors in response to the solicitation shall evidence joint and several liability as to schedule reliability requirements as set forth in Section C, PWS, Section 2, paragraph 2.1, committed CRAF capability as set forth in Section C, PWS, Section 4, paragraph 4.1., and Appendix 3A, and performance of missions and other contract services to include reprocurement costs for failure to provide service as specified in Section H, paragraph 18. Agreements may specifically identify exclusions from joint liability of other debts or obligations of a member by the other members.

With the exception of schedule reliability, agreements reflecting individual carrier liability replacing

** UNIFORM ALLOWANCE **

If employees are required to wear uniforms in the performance of this contract

(either by the terms of the Government contract, by the employer, by the state or local law, etc.), the cost of furnishing such uniforms and maintaining (by laundering or dry cleaning) such uniforms is an expense that may not be borne by an employee where such cost reduces the hourly rate below that required by the wage determination. The Department of Labor will accept payment in accordance with the following standards as compliance:

The contractor or subcontractor is required to furnish all employees with an adequate number of uniforms without cost or to reimburse employees for the actual cost of the uniforms. In addition, where uniform cleaning and maintenance is made the responsibility of the employee, all contractors and subcontractors subject to this wage determination shall (in the absence of a bona fide collective bargaining agreement providing for a different amount, or the furnishing of contrary affirmative proof as to the actual cost), reimburse all employees for such cleaning and maintenance at a rate of $3.35 per week

(or $.67 cents per day). However, in those instances where the uniforms furnished are made of "wash and wear" materials, may be routinely washed and dried with other personal garments, and do not require any special treatment such as dry cleaning, daily washing, or commercial laundering in order to meet the cleanliness or appearance standards set by the terms of the Government contract, by the contractor, by law, or by the nature of the work, there is no requirement that employees be reimbursed for uniform maintenance costs.

The duties of employees under job titles listed are those described in the

"Service Contract Act Directory of Occupations", Fifth Edition, April 2006, unless otherwise indicated. Copies of the Directory are available on the

Internet. A links to the Directory may be found on the WHD home page at http://www.dol.gov/esa/whd/ or through the Wage Determinations On-Line (WDOL)

Web site at http://wdol.gov/.

REQUEST FOR AUTHORIZATION OF ADDITIONAL CLASSIFICATION AND WAGE RATE {Standard

Form 1444 (SF 1444)}

Conformance Process:

The contracting officer shall require that any class of service employee which is not listed herein and which is to be employed under the contract (i.e., the work to be performed is not performed by any classification listed in the wage determination), be classified by the contractor so as to provide a reasonable relationship (i.e., appropriate level of skill comparison) between such unlisted classifications and the classifications listed in the wage determination. Such conformed classes of employees shall be paid the monetary wages and furnished the fringe benefits as are determined. Such conforming process shall be initiated by the contractor prior to the performance of contract work by such unlisted class(es) of employees. The conformed classification, wage rate, and/or fringe benefits shall be retroactive to the commencement date of the contract. {See Section 4.6 (C)(vi)} When multiple wage determinations are included in a contract, a separate SF 1444 should be prepared for each wage determination to which a class(es) is to be conformed.

The process for preparing a conformance request is as follows:

1) When preparing the bid, the contractor identifies the need for a conformed occupation(s) and computes a proposed rate(s).

2) After contract award, the contractor prepares a written report listing in order proposed classification title(s), a Federal grade equivalency (FGE) for each proposed classification(s), job description(s), and rationale for proposed wage rate(s), including information regarding the agreement or disagreement of the authorized representative of the employees involved, or where there is no authorized representative, the employees themselves. This report should be submitted to the contracting officer no later than 30 days after such unlisted class(es) of employees performs any contract work.

3) The contracting officer reviews the proposed action and promptly submits a report of the action, together with the agency's recommendations and pertinent information including the position of the contractor and the employees, to the

Wage and Hour Division, Employment Standards Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, for review. (See section 4.6(b)(2) of Regulations 29 CFR Part 4).

4) Within 30 days of receipt, the Wage and Hour Division approves, modifies, or disapproves the action via transmittal to the agency contracting officer, or notifies the contracting officer that additional time will be required to process the request.

5) The contracting officer transmits the Wage and Hour decision to the contractor.

6) The contractor informs the affected employees.

Information required by the Regulations must be submitted on SF 1444 or bond paper.

When preparing a conformance request, the "Service Contract Act Directory of

Occupations" (the Directory) should be used to compare job definitions to insure that duties requested are not performed by a classification already listed in the wage determination. Remember, it is not the job title, but the required tasks that determine whether a class is included in an established wage determination. Conformances may not be used to artificially split, combine, or subdivide classifications listed in the wage determination.
