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 from Outside the United States (OCONUS) to the Continental United States (CONUS) and within CONUS for the movement of Department of Defense (DoD) eligible patients using contractor furnished aircraft configured to air ambulance standards. Special requirements may be offered on a case-by-case basis. In the future, service areas may be expanded to include within OCONUS Geographic Combatant Commands (GCCs). The term of the BPA shall be from 1 October 2017 or date of award if subsequent thereto, and continue through 30 September 2022, unless canceled sooner under the provisions of the BPA. The contractor shall 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 confirmed 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.

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 for basic life support and critical care life support 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 is not available, may a CAMTS and/or NAAMTA accredited air carrier without DoD approval 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 of patient(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/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. The selected offeror shall accept or decline a mission within one hour* of receiving a Patient Movement Request (PMR). Upon receipt of the PMR, the selected offeror shall send an e-mail to TACC.XOPAC-02@us.af.mil and TACC-XOGA@us.af.mil to confirm its receipt. Failure to accept or decline a mission within this timeframe may result in award of the mission to another carrier.

* Due to time constraints for missions originating from Guantanamo Bay, all eligible BPA holders that are known to have the mission-specific capabilities to provide/perform the required service will be contacted immediately but separately, and shall indicate their availability within 30 minutes from receipt of TACC notification. For these Guantanamo Bay missions, from the responses received, a best value decision will be then be performed and the selected offeror contacted.

h. 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.

i. 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.

A 4 percent differential is applicable to employees employed in a position that represents a low degree of hazard when working with, or in close proximity to ordnance, (or employees possibly adjacent to) explosives and incendiary materials which involves potential injury such as laceration of hands, face, or arms of the employee engaged in the operation, irritation of the skin, minor burns and the like; minimal damage to immediate or adjacent work area or equipment being used. All operations involving, unloading, storage, and hauling of ordnance, explosive, and incendiary ordnance material other than small arms ammunition. These differentials are only applicable to work that has been specifically designated by the agency for ordnance, explosives, and incendiary material differential pay.

** 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 (Revision 1), dated September 2014, unless otherwise indicated.

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 (See 29 CFR 4.6(b)(2)(i)). Such conforming procedure shall be initiated by the contractor prior to the performance of contract work by such unlisted class(es) of employees (See 29 CFR 4.6(b)(2)(ii)). The Wage and Hour Division shall make a final determination of conformed classification, wage rate, and/or fringe benefits which shall be retroactive to the commencement date of the contract (See 29 CFR 4.6(b)(2)(iv)(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 the 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, U.S. Department of Labor, for review (See 29 CFR 4.6(b)(2)(ii)).

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 ensure 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.
