1. DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES.

1.1. Scope of Contract. The contractor shall provide safe, operable helicopters to perform the services in accordance with this performance work statement (PWS). Services to be provided under this PWS include a combination of approximately 50 medium, heavy and super-heavy lift rotary wing transport of Class I-X supplies, U.S. Mail and passengers. The Government anticipates establishing hub airfields at the locations listed below and additional as required that are not listed currently. The Government intends to position at least two aircraft per contractor at each location unless otherwise agreed to by the contractor. The International Civil Aeronautics

Organization (ICAO) identifier for each location is listed below:

Jalalabad Airfield OAJL

Kandahar Airfield OAKN

Bagram Airfield OAIX

Sharana Airfield OASA

Mazar-I-Sharif OAMS

Shindand OASD

Salerno Airfield OASL

FOB Shank no ICAO designator

FOB Tarin Kwot OATN

FOB Wolverine no ICAO designator

Herat OAHR

Aircraft may also be operated from other operating locations. The number of aircraft required may expand based on future mission requirements.

1.1.1. Missions will be scheduled at least twenty-four (24) hours in advance, unless otherwise agreed to by the contractor and Contracting Officer Representative (COR). Weather and aircraft maintenance will be considered when scheduling missions. Each aircraft will be expected to fly no more than ten (10) hours of flight time per day.

If tasked by DoD, contractor is authorized to remain overnight (RON) at other locations. DoD is responsible for providing support when RONing elsewhere.

1.1.2. The contractor shall coordinate all airlift movements with the Joint Sustainment Command – Afghanistan

(JSC-A) or their designated representative prior to any mission. Aircraft routes and altitudes are in accordance with the Republic of Afghanistan Aeronautical Information Publication (AIP) located at http://www.motca.gov.af.

1.1.2.1. Mission Planning. The contractor will be notified at least 24 hours prior to a mission. A schedule of missions for the week may be given to the contractor in some locations if feasible. At least 12 hours prior to departure, a flight plan, to include call sign, radio frequency, flight route and time, must be filed with the designated

US Military personnel. The US Government may suggest routes based on enemy threat, but contractor is solely responsible for eventual route taken. Helicopters shall be equipped with UHF, VHF, and FM two-way radios

(frequency range 30-400 MHz) to allow for communication with US Military ground units. Aircraft offered under this contract will operate to and from places, at times and dates, carrying passengers and cargo, as specified in the contract, the Contracting Officer, the COR, or the identified missioning authority pursuant to the terms of the contract. For additional details regarding airfield elevations and route planning guidance check the following website: http://motca.gov.af/index.htm. When planning missions, the contractor will consider the following elevations and distances:

ELEVATION ENROUTE ALTITUDE

Jalalabad 1,842 FT 9,800 FT

Kandahar 3,314 FT 9,800 FT

Bagram 4,895 FT 9,800 FT

Sharana 7426 FT 10,000 FT http://www.motca.gov.af/ http://motca.gov.af/index.htm

Salerno 3,825 FT 9,000 FT

Kabul 5,868 FT 10,000 FT

Distances in minutes based on 110 KTGs:

Jalalabad to furthest point - 132 minutes

Kandahar to furthest point - 130 minutes

Bagram to furthest point - 119 minutes

Sharana to furthest point - 163 minutes

Salerno to furthest point - 99 minutes

1.1.2.2. Emergency Missions. In some situations, the contractor may be required to fly a mission with only 12 hours notice. If an emergency mission arises, it will replace the scheduled mission for that day. In the event of an emergency mission, it will be imperative to file a flight plan as soon as possible and, telephonically or by e-mail, contact destination Forward Operating Base (FOB) and inform of approximate arrival time and flight plan.

1.1.2.3. Airspace De-confliction. The primary method of airspace de-confliction for the contractor will be adherence to filed flight plans. This will enable the US Government to know where and when contract aviation is flying in order to better ensure safety of both contract and US Government aircraft. Unless the contractor aircraft has communications with Landing Zone (LZ) or Pickup Zone (PZ) locations in uncontrolled airspace, the contractor will adhere to advisory calls. Upon departure or arrivals at all airfields in uncontrolled airspace, the contractor will transmit advisories on Afghan Advisory (118.50) and broadcast call sign, airfield departing or arriving from, flight level passing, flight level climbing to, and direction of flight. Contract aircraft will monitor Afghan Advisory

(118.50) when operating in vicinity of uncontrolled airports that support fixed wing aircraft. Helicopters are required to maintain at or below 500 feet AGL (Above Ground Level) when operating within 10 NM of any operational airport capable of fixed wing arrivals and departures, unless approved by ATC (tower/approach).

1.1.2.4. Missions will be flown to FOBs and other destinations designated by the Government as directed by the

COR or designated representative, such as Joint Sustainment Command – Afghanistan (JSC-A). The Contracting

Officer will provide the Contractor in writing the names of the persons designated as COR. Missions may also be scheduled to unimproved locations. The contractor will be provided with longitude and latitude and/or a 10 digit grid coordinates of all mission destinations prior to departure. Contractor will not be required to fly into LZs not approved by US Military or where enemy fire is being reported. Contractors will only be paid for blade hours flown in support of missions as assigned by JSC-A or their designated representative. Blade hours are calculated from the moment rails are off the ground at the hub until the rails touch the ground at the hub at completion of a mission.

Contractor flights not directed by the Government are non-billable, e.g., flight to return to the contractor’s home base.

1.1.2.5. CONOPS Brief and Flight Time: Contractor shall have a representative available 24/7 to receive CONOPS brief and final mission scheduling. Flights will only be conducted during daylight hours. The aircraft shall be used exclusively for USFOR-A or their designated representative unless approved by the Contracting Officer or COR.

1.1.3. Aircraft are not to land in areas where there is active fighting. Only after the Task Force Commander has declared an area ―CLEAR‖ will the contractor resume normal operations into an area where active fighting recently occurred.

1.1.4. Pilferage and Loss (cargo and baggage). The contractor shall maintain control of Government cargo and baggage while conducting air operations. The contractor is liable to the Government for the cost of any cargo and/or baggage damaged or lost while in possession of the carrier. The terms ―damaged or loss‖ refers to any circumstance where the US Government delivers cargo and/or baggage to the contractor for transport and the cargo and/or baggage is not ultimately returned to US Government control in the same condition it was delivered. If loss or damage of cargo and/or baggage does occur, the contractor is liable for the actual replacement value of the cargo and/or baggage, but not to exceed for baggage $630 per passenger and not to exceed for cargo $21 per pound per package. Package is defined as ―goods carried in or on a container, pallet or similar article of transport used to consolidate goods, in or on an aircraft. Individual boxes in a container or on a pallet are considered one package for purposes of this definition‖ The contractor may not be liable if the contractor proves that the destruction, loss of, or damage to, the cargo was due to inherent defect, quality or vice of that cargo, defective packing of that cargo performed by a person other than the contractor or the contractors servants or agents, or a hostile act as defined in this PWS.

1.1.5 Passenger Injury or Death. The contractor is liable for injury or death to passengers while passengers are being transported by the contractor regardless of the circumstances and shall maintain insurance coverage as required in Section H of this contract to cover this liability.

1.1.6. Weather. If the contractor fails to complete a route due to poor weather, he will be compensated for all complete leg(s) flown, and for the leg(s) being flown when the mission was aborted. The contractor should return to the point of origin (hub) or nearest safe location, until the weather improves. Missions not completed due to poor weather will be rescheduled at the satisfaction of the Government. For the contractor to refuse to fly a transport mission due to marginal weather conditions, the weather must be such that the ceiling is below 700 feet and visibility less than two nautical miles. Ceiling restrictions are subject to change as dictated by threat analysis. The contractor is required to follow the weather requirements per the Afghanistan Aviation Procedures Guide (APG), under the Low Risk spectrum. Aircraft are to operate in accordance with Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) which take precedence over the APG, unless the APG is more restrictive, in which case it will apply when classifying weather criteria. The contractor shall be prepared to fly in the following Fahrenheit temperatures:

At 7,000 ft PA, 20 degrees Celsius, the minimum payload requirement is 5,000 lbs.

1.2.8.4. Variations in payload on a mission by mission basis may be required due to changes in altitude and weather.

1.2.9. Estimated flying hours is 150 hours per aircraft per month (1800 hours per year).

1.2.10. Defensive Armor. All rotary-wing aircraft shall be equipped with a Ballistic Protection System (BPS) certified to provide protection from 7.62 mm full metal jacketed (US military designation M80) ball rounds as defined by the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) Standard 0108.01 (NIJ Level III). The BPS shall be capable of defeating multiple impacts of this round. Protection at a minimum shall cover the floor of the aircraft (both the cabin and cockpit areas). The BPS shall extend a minimum of 2 feet past the last row of passenger seats or to the rear bulk head/rear wall if this is less than 2 feet away from the last row of seats.

1.3 Personnel Requirements.

1.3.1. All aircrew and site managers performing under this contract are required to possess a Secret security clearance unless otherwise waived on a case by case basis by the Contracting Officer. All personnel are required to speak English in a fluent and coherent manner. The contractor and its employees will be bound to adhere to General

Order 1, and any supplements or any successor order.

1.3.2. The contractor shall obtain any necessary certifications to operate in the area of operations.

1.4 Support Operations.

1.4.1. Maintenance. The contractor shall perform both scheduled and unscheduled maintenance. Maintenance may occur on US Military installations with prior coordination and the express permission of the Government. The contractor will provide all parts, labor, and expertise necessary to complete required maintenance tasks.

Maintenance down-time will be coordinated between the contractor and the customer or COR. The contractor shall provide a timetable for scheduled maintenance and an estimated completion time for unscheduled maintenance.

1.4.2. Operational Readiness. Each aircraft is allowed 6 days per month for scheduled/unscheduled maintenance

(which equates to an 80% operational readiness rate). Each day the aircraft is Non Mission Capable (NMC) after the 6 th day, payment will be prorated from the monthly fee. Proration will be calculated by dividing the monthly service rate by the number of days in the month and then multiplying this amount by the number of NMC days.

Billable days will be calculated by subtracting the 6 given maintenance days (if applicable) from the actual number of NMC days and then subtracting this total from the number of days in the month. The aircraft shall be FMC (Fully

Mission Capable) for a minimum of 20 days in order to get credit for the 6 paid maintenance days. If an aircraft becomes FMC after 12/noon, no payment for monthly service will be paid for that aircraft for that day unless the

Government is able to mission the aircraft before all flying/missions are completed for the day. If any aircraft is not available for an entire month, no monthly service fee for that aircraft will be paid. Any day an aircraft is not FMC for carrier controlled reasons, no monthly service payment will be made for that day. An airframe is not to be considered available unless both the airframe is FMC and the aircrew is available as defined by the FAA or comparable regulations. It is the contractor’s responsibility to report when an aircraft becomes NMC or FMC. If the contractor’s aircraft fleet, per location, flies the maximum number of hours a month (# of aircraft x 150 hours a month) no deduction will be taken from the monthly rate for any aircraft. If there are extenuating circumstances, the

NMC days can be waived on a case-by-case basis by the Contracting Officer.

1.4.3. Cargo Hook. All aircraft will be equipped with an operational cargo hook. The contractor will maintain an

80% cargo hook readiness rate per location per month. In the event a cargo hook becomes inoperable, the aircraft will be listed as Partially Mission Capable (PMC) on the daily SITREP report and detail cargo hook inoperability as the reason. Each day the cargo hook readiness rate per location is below 80%, the daily basing fee for each aircraft with an inoperable hook will be reduced by 20%. If a cargo hook becomes FMC after 12/noon, 20% of the basing fee for that aircraft for that day will be deducted unless the Government is able to utilize the cargo hook on that aircraft before all flying/missions are completed for the day.

1.4.4. Route Support. The Government will provide logistical support within Afghanistan to contractors needing to move cargo and/or equipment in direct support of this contract. Any intra-theater movement of cargo and/or equipment that is required to move at the Government's expense, are required to be requested a minimum of ten days prior to the Required Delivery Date (RDD) for Air Shipment and at least 30 days for ground/surface shipment. This request should be made through the COR and/or Alternate COR. The cargo/equipment must be available and prepared for shipment IAW guidance provided by the origin Movement Control Team (MCT).

1.4.5. Recovery. The contractor is responsible for recovering disabled, damaged, or destroyed helicopters. The US

Government may, at its discretion, assist if resources and time are available. Any recoverable cargo will be returned to the Government. If a helicopter has been disabled in enemy territory and is likely to be seized by the enemy, the contractor shall make every reasonable effort to destroy the cargo to prevent it from being recovered by the enemy.

1.4.6. Replacement Helicopter. If a helicopter is considered to be a catastrophic loss then a replacement helicopter is required to be repositioned and have an operational date within 30 days. The 30 day count begins as soon as the original helicopter is identified as a catastrophic loss.

1.4.7. Non-Mission Capable (NMC) Repair Plan. In the event an aircraft becomes NMC, the contractor is required to submit a repair plan (timeline) outlining the extent of the repairs and when the aircraft will become FMC. This plan should be submitted to the Contracting Office and the COR within 48 hours after the aircraft becomes NMC.

Extensions to the 48 hours can be granted on a case by case basis. Deviations from the submitted plan should be closely coordinated with the Contracting Office and the COR. If the repair plan is approved, and the time for repairs is exceeded, due to contractor controllable reasons, then the contractor does not get paid for the time that exceeds the repair plan agreement.

1.4.8 Contractors must be aware that if their helicopter blocks the landing area of a US base, (i.e. hard broke) the helicopter may, if mission considerations dictate, be forcibly moved by US personnel. During movement, it is possible the helicopter may be damaged or destroyed. In these circumstances, the US Government will not be financially liable for the loss or damage to the helicopter.

1.5. Passenger Service.

1.5.1. The actual number of passengers will be determined by cargo, distance, altitude, and temperature at the desired location.

1.5.2. The contractor will be provided a passenger manifest prior to boarding. The contractor shall not permit any personnel to board the aircraft who is not manifested. A copy of the passenger manifest will be left with the appropriate ground personnel at the departure airfield. The contractor will maintain passenger manifest until mission is complete. For informational purposes, eligible passengers could include military forces whose country has signed an Acquisition Cross-Servicing Agreement (ACSA) with the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), including, but not limited to, the Afghanistan National Army and Coalition Forces, Afghanistan National Army Police (ANAP) and all subordinate elements, and Afghanistan Border Police (ABP) personnel, including U.S. Armed Forces personnel, including U.S. Armed Forces personnel suffering from medical emergencies in which life, limb or eyesight may be lost, U.S. military media and U.S./non-U.S. civilian media in support of U.S. DoD operational needs and personnel needing evacuation due to manmade or natural disasters. Local, provincial and national Government representatives are not authorized to utilize rotary wing services provided under this contract for personal transportation.

1.5.3. The contractor is ultimately responsible to determine passenger weight and cargo weight. If calibrated scales are not available or feasible, the contractor may elect to use hand held and portable type scales.
