L The purpose of this letter is to amend RFQ HTC7Il-I2-Q-ROOI as follows:

a. The price list at Attachment I, Contract Line Item Number (CLIN) OOOI, is revised to remove the statement"* Unit prices for the medical personnel shall be paid for DIRECT PATIENT CARE HOURS ONLY, not hours associated with positioning/depositioning the aircraft" and replace with the following statement: "Unit prices for the medical personnel shall be paid for all hours flown in support of an awarded mission, beginning when the positioning leg miles start, and concluding immediately when depositioning leg ends."

b. Attachment 3, Page I of II, Section C, paragraph I. INVOICES, is revised to remove "(direct patient care hours only, unless the medical crew is at a pick up location at the agreed upon time, but the patient is delayed, then the agreed upon time is the start of the patient care charges)."

Should the Government cancel a scheduled flight after the Contractor's aircraft has already departed its home base enroute to position, the government shall reimburse the contractor actual miles and hour(s) incurred (beginning when the positioning leg miles started and concluding immediately when depositioning leg ends) at the GCSM and Medical Personnel rates set forth in the schedule."

2. DESCRIPTION OF BLANKET PURCHASE AGREEMENT (BPA).

a. If and when requested by authorized representatives of the contracting officer, the contractor shall furnish air ambulance service within the NORTHCOM AOR (area of responsibility) to include Alaska and near off shore, missions within the SOUTHCOM AOR, missions between SOUTHCOM and NORTHCOM, missions between EUCOM (to include Greenland) and the CONUS; missions between PACOM and the CONUS for the movement of Department of Defense (DoD) eligible patients using contractor furnished aircraft configured to air ambulance standards.

The contractor shaH provide all personnel, services, equipment, tools, fuel, oil, materials, facilities, supervision, and indirect materials necessary to perform air ambulance services, including a sufficient number of ground personnel for adequate maintenance and ground operations. The aircraft and medical crew may be required to be ready for immediate departure (not later than two (2) hours) after confmned notification of an air ambulance requirement.

b. The U.S. Government shall be entitled to transport one or more patients/non-medical attendants (including their personal baggage) and/or cargo up to the entire capacity of the aircraft performing missions under this contract. To compute aircraft payload, the contractor shall use FAA approved weight and balance methods and procedures.

AMENDMENT 0001 TO REQUEST FOR QUOTATION (RFQ) HTC7ll-l2-Q-ROOl

c. Authorized representatives of the contracting officer making the calls for air ambulance service will first contact carriers that are both DoD approved and accredited by either the Commission on Accreditation of Medical Transport Systems (CAMTS) or the National Accreditation Alliance of Medical Transport Applications (NAAMTA) for availability. Only in the event a carrier with DoD approval and CAMTS or NAAMTA accreditation is not available, may a non-DoD approved carrier be utilized, and then only if needed to save "life, limb, or eyesight".

d. It is incumbent upon the contractor to utilize their appropriate aircraft for the number ofpatient(s) and route (domestic or international) for each mission.

e. When point-to-point pricing is provided, the contractor shall send an e-mail to both TACC.XOPAC- 02@us.af.mil and TACC-XOGA@us.af.mil no later than 0800 CST or CDT (whichever is applicable). The e-mail must provide daily status and the location of assets. Additionally, if aircraft are later moved to another location(s) throughout the day, the contractor shall immediately send an e-mail notifying the TACC of the new location and availability. Failure to provide asset location or updated status of aircraft location for point-to-point missions may result in the loss of a mission which may have otherwise been awarded.

f. When ordering services under this BPA, the approved ordering officials shall perform a best value decision considering price and other factors to include aircraft availability, past performance, estimated transit time, contractor response time to mission notifications, and other factors that may be deemed appropriate. Price considerations are significantly more important than non-price considerations. For each offeror and each asset, the ordering official will rank order offerors by price considering each offeror's I asset's unique costs based on the applicable GCSM rate and the forecasted positioning leg miles, live miles, and the depositioning leg miles (if applicable) as well as the projected medical care hours and the applicable rate. Once rank ordered, the ordering official will make the best value decision and contact the contractor determined to be the best value to make mission arrangements. The Government reserves the right to revise these ordering procedures as requirements or ordering processes dictate.

g. A departure reliability rate of at least 95% must be maintained. The departure reliability rate is the percentage of total "on time" departures of all calls issued against the BPA. Any aircraft that departs (leaves the blocks) within 20 minutes of scheduled departure time shall be considered "on time". This rate is tracked by the ordering personnel. Failure to maintain a reliability rate of at least 95% may be cause for cancellation of the BPA.

h. All aircraft must be licensed, operated and maintained in accordance with all applicable rules and regulations of the FAA and DOT, giving particular attention to the responsibility of the air carrier to perform air transportation with the highest degree of safety. The aircraft performing missions under this contract shall not be considered public aircraft. The offeror/contractor shall have a current FAA authorization certificate to operate over routes and into the airfields specified under both IFR and VFR conditions and rules. IFR capability authorization is not required for operations into airfields which do not have published IFR approach procedures. The contractor must satisfy DOD quality and safety requirements as described in 32 CFR Part 861.
