3. SCOPE OF WORK.
3.1. Level I, II, and III Services. The Contractor shall furnish all labor, tools, materials, transportation, equipment, supplies, testing, certification, supervision, management, and quality control required to provide on-call aero-medical ambulance service and in-flight treatment of military and training staff at MAGTFTC, Twentynine Palms, California, including all ranges and Camp Wilson.
3.1.1. The Contractor shall provide emergency airlift of patients between the ranges and Robert E. Bush, U.S. Naval Hospital or other designated medical treatment facility within a 250 mile radius of MAGTFTC, 24 hours per day, 7 days a week to include holidays. The Naval Hospital is located at Building 1145, MAGTFTC, Twentynine Palms, California 92278. Designated medical treatment facilities will be within a
250 mile radius of MAGTFTC.
3.1.2. At a minimum, the crew shall consist of a pilot, flight nurse and an EMT-P. Performance shall be in accordance with this PWS and professional standards as specified in the Commission on Accreditation of
Medical Transport Systems (CAMTS). The Contractor shall ensure the availability of medical specialists sufficient to meet the needs of the patients transported under this agreement.
3.2. Level IV Services. The Contractor shall provide Level IV transportation as ordered up to the maximum hours specified in the schedule. The Director of Range Control Division (RCD) or designated representative will direct the contractor when and where to perform the services. Only the Contracting
Officer may direct the diversion of the contractor from Level I, II, and III services. The Contracting
Officer may issue verbal direction to the contractor to be followed up by written direction as soon as reasonably feasible. If Contractor is directed to perform Level IV flight hours, the billing for CLIN 0001 should be adjusted downward, unless the Contractor provides a dedicated back-up aircraft for Level I-III
MCAGCC evacuations.
3.3. The Contractor shall provide adequate aircraft to meet the terms and conditions of this contract. Due to the nature of the services required and the potential for multiple medical evacuations the Government cannot specify the number of aircraft required; however, historical data indicates one (1) aircraft has met the requirement.
In unusual circumstances, one additional helicopter may be required to conduct medical evacuations.
Historically, this has occurred one time during the last five years. If this occurs, the Contractor will have thirty (30) minutes to dispatch an additional aircraft to meet the terms and conditions of this contract. If the
Contractor also provides stand-by medical evacuation support for the private sector and has dispatched simultaneous (MCAGCC and private sector) medical evacuations, the Contractor will not breach the terms of this contract if unable to dispatch an aircraft in thirty (30) minutes. The Contractor shall provide support expeditiously and advise the Government of the estimated time of dispatch and arrival.
3.4. The Government cannot conduct training on the ranges unless the Contractor helicopter is on site. In emergency situations when civilian helicopters are unavailable, the Contracting Officer may release the
Contractor to assist in off-base evacuations. This is a unilateral Government decision. Release of the
Contractor is not a command direction to perform the work and the cost of any such flight hours shall not be paid through this contract, nor will the Government be charged for standby hours on CLIN 0001 during any corresponding flight hours, unless the Contractor provides a dedicated back-up aircraft for Level I-III
MCAGCC evacuations.
4. GOVERNMENT FURNISHED PROPERTY, MATERIALS, AND SERVICES. The Government will provide on-base access to temporary parking and closed field ops; helicopter wash rack; helicopter fueling area; hand held radios for ground communication; utilities to include electricity, phone lines, however, high speed internet access is the responsibility of the contractor, and an area for Contractor furnished living and office spaces. Fuel is not provided under this contract; however, the government will assist the contractor in obtaining a fuel card through Defense Logistics Agency (DLA). The cost of fuel is to be paid directly by the contractor to DLA and is not to be billed against this contract. The Government will also provide maps, Landing Zone (LZ) locations, trained ground guides, interpreters as required, and ground transportation for the patient to and from the LZ. In addition, the Government will provide parking for the helicopter at LZ 10 and alternate sites as mutually agreed upon.
4.1 Only minor maintenance NOT involving hazardous materials/waste is authorized at LZ10. All other maintenance necessary to be performed on station must be conducted at the Strategic Expeditionary
Landing Field (SELF) located at Camp Wilson.
4.2 Flight Logs shall be submitted monthly to the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) with a breakdown of flight hours/ fuel consumption for MEDEVAC flights and Level IV flights (range sweeps
(visual confirmation that a range is clear), cherry picker (picking up uninjured personnel equipment), etc.).
4.3 If the Government provided hoses are not compatible/available, the air ambulance is authorized to fuel from outside sources or sponsor civilian fuel truck aboard MAGTFTC to re-fuel the aircraft at the SELF or other location as authorized by the Contracting Officer.
5. CONTRACTOR FURNISHED PROPERTY, MATERIALS, SERVICES. Except for items listed in GOVERNMENT FURNISHED PROPERTY, MATERIALS AND SERVICES, the Contractor shall provide all equipment, materials, supplies, tools and services necessary to perform the requirements of this contract.

In addition, the medical crew members shall be certified in San Bernardino County (ICEMA).
5.1.2.2 The aircrews shall be trained to fly unaided at night.
5.1.3. ENGLISH LANGUAGE REQUIREMENT. Contractor personnel involved in the performance of this contract shall be able to read, write, speak and understand English. Contractor personnel shall possess adequate communication skills to ensure free-flowing exchange of information between themselves and with hospital staff, all local public safety agencies, incident units, and military ground guides. The
Contracting Officer has discretion to require replacement of any of the Contractor’s personnel, and such replacement does not excuse the Contractor from performance under this contract.
5.1.4. CONFLICT OF INTEREST. The Contractor shall not employ any person who is an employee of the United States Government if the employment of that person would create a conflict of interest. The
Contractor shall not employ any person who is an employee of the Department of Defense, either military or civilian, unless such person seeks and receives approval in accordance with DoD Directive 5500.7 and policy.

Contractor.
5.6. The Contractor shall provide patients referred by the MAGTFTC with access to service on terms no less favorable than those afforded to any other patient of the Contractor, and shall not discriminate against

Federal Acquisition Regulation), or alternative commercial items for satisfying the requirements of this solicitation.

(f) Late submissions, modifications, revisions, and withdrawals of offers:
(1) Offerors are responsible for submitting offers, and any modifications, revisions, or withdrawals, so as to reach the Government office designated in the solicitation by the time specified in the solicitation. If no time is specified in the solicitation, the time for receipt is 4:30 p.m., local time, for the designated Government office on the date that offers or revisions are due.
(2)(i) Any offer, modification, revision, or withdrawal of an offer received at the Government office designated in the solicitation after the exact time specified for receipt of offers is “late” and will not be considered unless it is received before award is made, the Contracting Officer determines that accepting the late offer would not unduly delay the acquisition; and--

(C) If this solicitation is a request for proposals, it was the only proposal received.
(ii) However, a late modification of an otherwise successful offer, that makes its terms more favorable to the
Government, will be considered at any time it is received and may be accepted.
