18 Dec 08 Notice of Revision - FY09 Uniform Rates and Rules - (Solicitation Number HTC711-08-R-0003)

1. The Final FY09 rate package was posted to www.fbo.gov on 31 Jul 08 with fuel pegged at $4.20 per gallon for passenger and $4.15 per gallon for cargo, combi, and L-100. Defense Energy Support Center (DESC) decreased its fuel prices on 20 Nov 08. USTRANSCOM revised the uniform rates, accordingly, effective 1 Jan 09 – 30 Sep 09, with fuel pegged at $2.30 per gallon for passenger and $2.40 per gallon for cargo, combi, and L-100.

2. The attached is an administrative revision to the Final FY09 Uniform Rates and Rules for International Service effective 1 Jan 09 – 30 Sep 09 as a result of revised trip cancellation charges and channel extension payment included in Appendix A.

3. Please replace Appendix A in its entirety.

(5) EUROCONTROL. Eurocontrol applies where a carrier is required to transit countries with an ICAO prefix of "E" or "L" (i.e., EDAF, LIRA), with the exception of EGYP in the Falkland Islands. The Eurocontrol surcharge calculation does not include stop charges. The Eurocontrol charge will not be calculated on ferry miles.

Effective 1 Oct 08 – 31 Dec 08: Carriers will be paid the applicable rate plus a surcharge of 2.4 percent of trip price for passenger missions, 2.7 percent for cargo missions, .51 percent for combi, 5.6 percent for L-100 hub and spoke operations, and the L-100 requirement for KWRI-LPLA-KWRI will receive $553.

Effective 1 Jan 09 – 30 Sep 09: Carriers will be paid the applicable rate plus a surcharge of 2.6 percent of trip price for passenger missions, 3.2 percent for cargo missions, .59 percent for combi, 5.8 percent for L-100 hub and spoke operations, and the L-100 requirement for KWRI-LPLA-KWRI will receive $469.

(6) FERRY. In the event the air carrier operates a round-trip flight where the distance between originating and terminating stations exceeds 250 statute miles, the carrier will be paid either ferry rate for the statute miles between the originating station and termination, or ferry rate for the statute miles between the terminating station and, by mutual consent, one of the carrier's principle operating bases. Ferry will be paid based on standard ACL or lesser amount. Positioning and depositioning ferry shall be included with the offer and negotiated at time of award.

The carrier will not be paid ferry compensation to “close the jaw” if USTRANSCOM has that carrier operate a follow-on flight, which originates from the terminating station, within 24 hours.

(7) INCREMENTAL PASSENGER MOVEMENT. The incremental passenger rate applies when the number of additional passengers above the standard ACL is identified for an exercise, SAAM or contingency. The incremental passenger movement rate is $202 for each additional passenger over the standard ACL. In cases when the per seat cost is lower than USTRANSCOM’s incremental passenger rate, USTRANSCOM will pay the lesser amount.

(8) TRIP CANCELLATION. A cancellation charge will be paid on missions canceled with notification given within the time frames noted below. The cancellation charge will be applied to the trip price for the route segment only (ferry, stop charges, Eurocontrol surcharge or any other additional charges will not be included). The charges are as follows:

Time Frame 1 Oct 08 – 31 Dec 08 1 Jan 09 – 30 Sep 09 Seven days or less 29.17% Passenger and Combi

21.19% Passenger and Combi 19.56% Cargo and L-100

B. AIRCRAFT STANDARDS. The rate set forth in paragraph A shall be applied to the following standard aircraft loads. When an aircraft is offered for channel missions with fewer seats than the standard ACL, and the aircraft is not 34 inch seat pitch configuration, we will only pay for the actual number of seats.

C. FUEL ADJUSTMENTS.

(1) General. The carrier shall be compensated for variance in fuel prices incurred on USTRANSCOM contract full planeload missions bought at the USTRANSCOM rate. Compensation will not be made to the prime or subservicing carrier for substitute service or subcontracted miles. Adjustments will be made upward or downward if the price of fuel varies by more than one cent per gallon from the pegged price (as stated in the USTRANSCOM Uniform Negotiated Rates and Rules) used in establishing the USTRANSCOM rates.

(2) Category B. The solicitation/contract addresses the current fuel adjustment procedures.

D. ROUND-TRIP SERVICES. The round-trip rate will be applied to trips where passengers and/or cargo are transported on two or more successive revenue flights in opposite directions.

E. CHANNEL EXTENSIONS. Seattle closed as of 1 Oct 05 as a full up commercial gateway and now operates as a channel extension. Channel extension services at Seattle, as directed by the performance work statement, will be paid at $2,661 for live in/live out operations.

F. COMPUTATION OF PASSENGER SEAT-MILES AND CARGO TON-MILES FOR PAY PURPOSES.

Long Range Service: Computation of miles and stop charges shall be computed as follows:

(a) If a live route segment is less than 4,000 miles, mileage shall be computed nonstop from origin to destination of that segment.

(b) When a route segment is 4,000 miles or more the mileage shall be computed via an intermediate point(s) which yields the shortest mileage. The government will pay for a directed operational stop when a route segment exceeds 4,000 miles. Carrier enroute stops related to paid ferry when positioning an aircraft for

USTRANSCOM service do not receive a stop charge since paid ferry is paid on the effective rate versus the linehaul rate.

Examples: KBWI*CYQX–EDDF–LTAG–EDDF*CYQX–KBWI-KCHS = 7 Paid Stops1/

KCHS#MMCZ-MPTO=1 Paid Stop2/

KWRI+KCOF-TAPA-FHAW-TAPA-KCOF+KWRI= 4 Paid Stops3/

1/ * This symbol used in the above example indicates operational stops.

2/ # This symbol used in the above example indicates special miles for circumnavigating countries which will not grant over flight clearances—stop charges do not apply.

3/ + This symbol used in the above example indicates ferry leg for which stop charges do not apply.

(c) If a route segment is in the Pacific, the mileage shall be computed as indicated below:

G. DEFINITIONS.

“Category B Airlift” USTRANSCOM channel airlift for the transportation of passengers in full planeload lots on aircraft chartered from the commercial air industry. These international charter flights are scheduled by USTRANSCOM on a regular basis to and from designated commercial airports and/or USTRANSCOM gateways and/or military aerial ports.

“Charter rate” means a commercial price that is in fact available to the general public for equivalent services. Missions bought at a commercial charter price are all inclusive of taxes and any other ancillary cost and are not subject to adjustments for fuel prices.

“Consignment” means a number of Category A cargo pallets moving as one shipment, on the same date and assigned a Government/Commercial Bill of Lading (GBL/CBL) Number or listed on a DD Form 250 as one shipment. The minimum charge for any consignment is based on pallet minimum weight guarantees, times the number of pallets in the consignment. If the total weight of cargo on all pallets in the consignment exceeds the average guarantee, make payment for the actual weight.

“Contingency rate” The USTRANSCOM proposed contingency one-way rates are to be used at the USTRANSCOM commander’s discretion during conditions such as outbreak of war, armed conflict, insurrection, civil or military strife, or similar conditions (overseas). The one-way rates are adjusted to reflect limited backhaul capabilities.

“Stop charge” The stop charge is paid by the government in the case of government directed landings (operational and traffic stops) identified by the contract or delivery order to support the USTRANSCOM mission.

Operational stops allowed in accordance with Appendix A, Paragraph F (b) are considered directed stops. Landings made by the contractor of his own discretion for maintenance, aborted flights, fuel stops, crew changes, or emergency landings are not considered "directed landings," and therefore receive no stop charge.

“Pay miles” means the statute miles used to compute the price of the mission in accordance with COINS.

COINS calculates distances based on longitude and latitude for geographical locations listed in the DoD Flight Information Publication (FLIP) and identified by location indicators assigned by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and published in the Location Indicator, Doc 7910/67.
