B-2. MINIMUM GUARANTEE
a. The Minimum guarantee is $TBD (equal to total fixed buy clins (CLINs 0066 – 0108) without reimbursable and/or MOB Rep) which can be satisfied by fixed or expansion (CLINS 0036 – 0065).
b. For those contracts awarded for international expansion or for domestic CRAF commitment only, the minimum guarantee is estimated at $3000 and is based on actual costs incurred IAW the Joint Travel Regulations (JTR) for Mobilization Representative’s (MOBREP) attendance at the MOBREP Conference. This minimum will be satisfied as a reimbursable under CLIN 0001AC.
B-3. PRICING
a. SLIN 0001AA – REIMBURSABLES. See paragraph H-25.
b. SLIN 0001AB – FUEL REIMBURSEMENT. See paragraph H-25.
c. SLIN 0001AC – MOBREP Conference (Not included in the Rates and Rules). The government will reimburse the contractor for food, travel, conference fee(s), and lodging expenses incurred as a result of MOBREP representatives attending the MOBREP Conference IAW PWS Para 4.0.1. Reimbursement for food, lodging, conference fee(s), and travel will be consistent with the Joint Travel Regulation (JTR). Other costs may be allowed as reimbursable, if determined appropriate and authorized in advance by the Contracting Officer prior to the contractor incurring the costs.

g. CLIN 0004. Domestic CRAF Activation – Cargo Service (Not included in the Rates and Rules).
B-2
h. CLINs 0005-0035. International CRAF Activation, shall be priced as follows:
(1) Prices for airlift services during Civil Reserve Air Fleet (CRAF) activation, Stage I, II and III and during United States Transportation Command (USTRANSCOM) Commander-determined periods (where volunteered airlift is used in lieu of CRAF activated airlift) shall be determined in the same manner as for the fixed award CLINs, except that one-way cargo and passenger missions will be priced as a percentage of the round trip rate (identified as CRAF Contingency rate). The price for Aeromedical evacuation airlift shall be determined IAW the Rates and Rules and Section C, PWS, Appendix 5, paragraph 6.0.
(2) For long-range international aircraft called up (See Section C, PWS, Appendix 5, paragraph 2.5) under
CRAF activation Stages I, II or III, there will be a guaranteed average daily utilization of 8 hours flight time. If an aircraft fails to achieve the guaranteed utilization, the Contractor will be entitled to additional compensation due to under utilization.
(a) The contractor shall provide documentation supporting its request for compensation due to under utilization. Contractor may report to USTRANSCOM at the end of each month, at the end of the contract period or upon CRAF deactivation, total hours flown for each called up aircraft, (or substituted aircraft), the number of Contractor controllable delays, hours flown in commercial service, and hours flown in service. Compensation for under utilization will be accomplished at the end of the contract period or upon CRAF deactivation, whichever comes first. Contractors must provide cost data to determine the rate 30 days after contract period or CRAF deactivation.
(b) The equation for computing compensation for under utilization is:
(Guaranteed Hours - actual hours) X 500 mph X Aircraft Cabin Load (ACL) X roundtrip rate (See 3.
below) = compensation
1. Flight time (actual hours) shall include all revenue hours including paid ferry and any commercial flights operated during the CRAF activation.
2. Actual hours will be increased by 8 hours for each time an aircraft is unavailable to the Government for Contractor controllable reasons. (i.e.: maintenance or lack of sufficient crew).
3. The rate will be based on the round trip rate in the USTRANSCOM Negotiated Uniform Rate minus any costs not expected to be incurred (i.e., fuel, meals, maintenance).
4. The underutilized hours will be converted to miles using an average speed of 500 mph.
EXAMPLE:
(i) Tail number N123 with an ACL of 330 PAX is activated on the 5th of the month.
(ii) The aircraft operated for 100 flight hours for the 15 day activation period including 10 commercial hours.
(iii) Guaranteed utilization = 120 hours (15 days x 8 hours/day)
(iv) Actual utilization = 100 hours
(v) Underutilized hours = 20 hours
(vi) 20 hours x 500 mph = 10,000 miles x 330 ACL = 3,300,000 seat miles x .045 (actual rate to be determined) = $148,500 compensation earned for the month.
B-3
(c) Additionally, should the long-range international aircraft called up, as defined in Section C, PWS, Appendix 5, paragraph 2.5, not be required for the 15-day minimum guaranteed utilization period or not be required for all or a portion of the 15 days between notification and official release from call up, the Contractor will be compensated for under utilization at an amount not to exceed that calculated as provided in paragraph B-(2)(b) above, except that the guaranteed utilization will be based on 15 days and equal 120 hours (15 days x 8 hours/day), and all subsequent calculations will be similarly updated. Contractors are obligated to make their best efforts to obtain commercial business to minimize Government costs.
(3) Prices paid for airlift called up under all CRAF activation Stages may be adjusted by negotiation between the Contractor and the Government pursuant to the procedures in Section I, FAR 52.243-1 entitled Changes—Fixed Price Alternate IV. In establishing such prices, it shall be presumed, unless the Contractor presents evidence establishing that an adjustment to the rate of compensation is appropriate, that prices computed in accordance with the Rates and Rules applied to the mileage set forth in Commercial Operations Integrated System (COINS) for the shortest route over which the type of aircraft involved operated, constitutes equitable prices for such services. For the purpose of circumnavigating countries which will not grant overflight clearances, peacetime and wartime missions which operate the segments listed in paragraph B-3i(2) below, will be paid according to the special miles listed therein instead of the mileage calculated by COINS. Consideration will be given, but not limited to, evidence so presented by the Contractor for aircraft called up which reflect reasonable incurred cost outside the peacetime rate associated with call-up aircraft under CRAF activation. Examples of such costs are:
(a) Additional per diem expenses incurred to relocate personnel required to assist in the flow of CRAF activated aircraft.
(b) Additional security expenses for the safety of aircraft and crew.
(4) Vectoring. Vectoring is a change from the contracted route due to specific military conditions in the mission operating environment which requires a deviation from the contracted route. If conditions require vectoring during CRAF activation or periods where volunteered airlift are used in lieu of CRAF activated airlift, the Contracting Officer will issue a change order in accordance with Section I, FAR 52.243-1 entitled Changes—Fixed Price Alternate IV. The change order will provide the area, times, etc., for which vectoring will be recognized as a changed condition. A change order authorizes submission of requests for price adjustments. To expedite adjustments, periodic submissions are encouraged. The Contractor should document and support the baseline from which adjustment is requested in addition to substantiation of the amount of the equitable adjustment in any request submitted to the Contracting Officer.
i. CLINs for the fixed and expansion requirements shall be priced as follows:
(1) Airlift services shall be paid at the price established for each SUBCLIN. Such price shall be determined in accordance with the Rates and Rules incorporated by reference for International Long- and Short-Range Commercial Augmentation (see paragraphs B-3i(2), B-3i(3), and B-3i(4) for exceptions). USTRANSCOM will conduct an annual rate review as part of the ratemaking process used to develop the Rates and Rules. Mileages will be determined in accordance with the COINS. If the contractor is unable to fly the shortest route between two locations, they must submit flight plans for approval of any additional miles prior to award. The additional mileage will be mutually agreed to by the Contractor and Contracting Officer. The Contracting Officer may also pre-approve extraordinary insurance costs applicable to a pending mission when in the best interest of the Government.
These costs will be reimbursed under SLIN 0001AA, Reimbursables.
(2) Special Miles:
In performance of certain airlift missions, Contractors will be required to circumnavigate countries which will not grant over-flight clearances, either during peacetime or wartime. In those instances, special miles will be paid.
For the routings listed below, the special miles as indicated following each route will be paid to circumnavigate Cuba or Nicaragua. Additional routings requiring payment of special miles may be added to this contract as needed.

KCHS-MKJP 1321 EDDN-LYPR 250
On missions into and out of Guantanamo Bay, Cuba (MUGM), 198 miles will be added for circumnavigation of Cuba.
(3) When requirements exceed the Maximum Standard Payloads as set forth in Appendix A of the Rates and Rules, the Government will pay the incremental passenger movement rate identified in Appendix A of the Rates and Rules for Contingency, Exercise,or SAAM requirements only. The Contracting Officer may elect to pay the appropriate rate from the Rates and Rules. Ferry on SAAMs or Exercises will not be paid for any additional seats purchased at the incremental passenger movement rate.
(4) When the Government requires airlift services for Outsized Cargo or service in areas where the operations of US-certificated carriers are restricted (reference Section C, PWS, Section 1, paragraphs 1.3.16. and 1.3.17.), the rates in the Rates and Rules will not apply (See paragraph H-18). Unless specifically authorized by the Contracting Officer and identified in the applicable modification, miles flown in performance of these types of missions are not subject to fuel adjustment procedures. Outsized cargo requirements and requirements for service into areas where the operations of US-certificated air carriers are restricted will be competed on an as-needed basis and award is made on a best value basis among the offers that meet mission requirements. The determination whether an offer meets mission requirements will be based upon type and weight capacity of aircraft offered and the date of availability. Mission dates will be specified; however, offers of alternative mission dates may be considered if determined to meet requirements. Any proposed alternate mission dates falling outside the solicited mission dates will be considered only if acceptable to the Government; in such a case, the Contracting Officer will provide other offerors the opportunity to propose against the alternate mission dates. Factors used to determine best value include schedule, price, contractor reliability, and violation status. Schedule and price are approximately equal in importance and are significantly more important than the other factors, which are of equal importance.
Acceptability of an offer will be subject to the Contracting Officer’s determination the price offered is fair and reasonable. Additional costs, identified and approved by the CO prior to award, may be reimbursed upon receipt and approval of Contractor invoices.
(5) Combi Services (Expansion): The Government requires services for combination passenger/cargo airlift.
Expansion combi services for FY12 will be evaluated based on entitlement and the Commander’s intent to utilize modern, fuel efficient aircraft to the maximum extent possible. The aircraft must be capable of carrying a minimum of 10-14 pallets and 32-60 passengers internationally. If modern aircraft are not offered for expansion services, the Government will accept aging legacy aircraft. Combi services will be priced and awarded in accordance with the Uniform Negotiated Rates and Rules for Charter Combi Service. Carriers are required to submit the “date available” for the modern, fuel efficient aircraft along with the fuel burn rate for the aircraft within CLIN 0036.
j. The Government shall also have the right, at its sole option, to order other airlift service under the contract in accordance with and at the rate specified by the Contractor for service to the public which will, in the judgment of the Contracting Officer, meet the Government needs. In addition, the Government may, for airlift service not covered by the Rates and Rules, establish rates by negotiation. These services will be ordered by separate task order.

Prior to performance of any services hereunder, the contractor shall, at its own expense, procure and maintain during the entire performance period of this contract, with financially and legally responsible insurance company or companies, passenger and public liability insurance in accordance with paragraph H-1b or H-1c. (Refer to Performance Work Statement (PWS), Attachment 1, Appendix 3, Paragraph 14.0 entitled “Civil Aircraft Landing Permits” for insurance timeline and updating requirements.) Liability insurance purchased pursuant to the requirements of this paragraph shall cover payment to the Government, pursuant to the subrogation provision of the Medical Care Recovery Act (42 USC 265l-3) and within the liability limitations of this contract, of the cost of Government provided medical care to the extent that said insurance would cover payment to injured individuals of the cost of medical care in the absence of any Government obligation to provide medical care. The contractor shall furnish to the Contracting Officer Evidence of Insurance, duly executed by the Insurer, of the insurance required by this paragraph. The Evidence of Insurance shall substantially conform to the form set forth in paragraph H-2. To the extent that the Montreal Convention for the Unification of Certain Rules for International Carriage by Air applies, it will take precedence. If a court of competent jurisdiction determines that any transportation furnished pursuant to this contract is subject to the Warsaw Convention, 49 Stat. 3000, and that the contractor is entitled to limit its liability under that Convention, then the minimum limit of insurance required by this clause shall be considered to be a "higher limit of liability agreed to by special contract" as contemplated by the last sentence of Article 22(l) of that Convention, and the contractor agrees that it shall not with respect to any claim arising out of the death, wounding, or other bodily injury of a passenger, avail itself of any defense under Article 20(l) of the Convention. Nothing herein shall be deemed to affect the rights and liabilities of the contractor with regard to any claim brought by, on behalf of, or in respect of any person who has willfully caused damage which resulted in death, wounding, or other bodily injury of a passenger. See note below subparagraph H-1c(2).
b. Split Limits Liability. The minimum limits of liability insurance coverage maintained by the contractor, as required by 14 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 205, shall be as follows:
(1) Liability for bodily injury to or death of aircraft passengers: A limit for any one passenger of at least three hundred thousand dollars ($300,000.00), and a limit for each occurrence in any one aircraft of at least an amount equal to the sum produced by multiplying three hundred thousand dollars ($300,000.00) by the next highest whole number resulting from taking 75 percent of the total number of passenger seats installed in the aircraft.
(2) Liability for bodily injury to or death of persons (excluding passengers): A limit of at least three hundred thousand dollars ($300,000.00) for any one person in any one occurrence, and a limit of at least twenty million dollars ($20,000,000.00) per involved aircraft for each occurrence.
(3) Liability for loss of or damage to property: A limit of at least twenty million dollars ($20,000,000.00) for each occurrence.
c. Combined Single Limit Liability.
(1) Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph H-1b above the contractor may be insured for a single limit of liability for each occurrence. In that event, coverage shall be equal to or greater than the combined required minimums set forth in paragraph H-1b, above, for bodily injury, property damage, and/or passenger liability for the type of use to which such aircraft is put, as the case may be.
(2) In the case of a single limit of liability, aircraft may be insured by a combination of primary and excess policies. Such policies shall have combined coverage equal to or greater than the required minimums set forth in paragraph H-1b, above, for bodily injury to non-passengers, property damage, and/or passenger liability for the type of use to which the aircraft is put, as the case may be.
H-2
H-2. EVIDENCE OF INSURANCE – PASSENGER AND PUBLIC LIABILITY
(a) Prior to performance of any services hereunder, the contractor shall provide the Government with appropriate evidence of insurance in accordance with paragraph H-1. (Refer to Performance Work Statement (PWS), Attachment 1, Appendix 3, Paragraph 14.0 entitled “Civil Aircraft Landing Permits” for insurance timeline and updating requirements.) The evidence shall substantially conform to the following paragraph:
______________________________________________________ (Hereinafter called the Insurer) Name of Insurer of ____________________________________________________________________________________ Address of Insurer has issued to _________________________________________________________________________
Name of Insured Policy ____________________________________________, bearing policy number ___________, with respect to the legal liability of the said Insured for aircraft passenger death or bodily injury, aircraft public death or bodily injury (excluding passengers) and aircraft property damage liabilities, effective from ____________ through ____________.
(Signature of Insurer) (Current Date)
(b) The minimum limits of liability insurance coverage maintained by the Insured under the said policy are as follows*:
(1) Liability for bodily injury to or death of aircraft passengers: A limit for any one passenger of at least three hundred thousand dollars ($300,000.00), and a limit for each occurrence in any one aircraft of at least an amount equal to the sum produced by multiplying three hundred thousand dollars ($300,000.00) by the next highest whole number resulting from taking 75 percent of the total number of passenger seats installed in the aircraft.
(2) Liability for bodily injury to or death of persons (excluding passengers): A limit of at least three hundred thousand dollars ($300,000.00) for any one person in any one occurrence, and a limit of at least twenty million dollars ($20,000,000.00) per involved aircraft for each occurrence.
(3) Liability for loss of or damage to property: A limit of at least twenty million dollars ($20,000,000.00) for each occurrence.
(4) The Insurer further agrees that the insurance afforded under this policy covers payment to the Government, pursuant to the subrogation provision of the Medical Care Recovery Act (42 USC 265l-3), of the cost of Government provided medical care to the extent that said insurance would cover payment to injured individuals of the cost of medical care in the absence of any Government obligation to provide medical care.
The terms and conditions of the policy apply throughout the world. The following aircraft are covered by the policy identified above: __________________________________________________ (List aircraft individually or “All aircraft owned and operated by the Insured”)
(c) The parties recognize that the policy may exclude certain liabilities with respect to any DOD operations involving the Civil Reserve Air Fleet (CRAF) subsequent to the effective date of activation of the CRAF. The excluded liabilities will be those where a loss may be incurred during the activation of the CRAF under circumstances such that it cannot be demonstrated that the loss is either attributable to a war risk and therefore reimbursable under FAA Chapter 443, or attributable to cause other than war risk and therefore required to be covered by the Contractor's commercial insurance.
The policy contains the attached endorsement.
