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 with hoist capabilities 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 medical 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 shall 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 Management and Development Division (RMDD) or designated COR will direct the contractor when and where to perform the services. Only the Contracting Officer, or his designated representative, may direct the diversion of the contractor from Level I, II, III, with hoist capability. 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 and/or hoist Operations.

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 some circumstances, one additional helicopter may be required to conduct medical evacuations. Historically, this has occurred three 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 within 30 minutes of MCAGCC. In emergency situations when civilian helicopters are unavailable, the Contracting Officer, or his designated representative, 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 and/or hoist Operations.

4. GOVERNMENT FURNISHED PROPERTY, MATERIALS, AND SERVICES. The Government will provide on-base access to temporary parking and closed field ops; helicopter wash rack; Fuel truck staging area, 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.

CLAUSES INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE

CLAUSES INCORPORATED BY FULL TEXT

52.209-5 CERTIFICATION REGARDING RESPONSIBILITY MATTERS (AUG 2020)

(a)(1) The Offeror certifies, to the best of its knowledge and belief, that-

(i) The Offeror and/or any of its Principals-

(A) Are ( ) are not ( ) presently debarred, suspended, proposed for debarment, or declared ineligible for the award of contracts by any Federal agency;

(B) Have ( ) have not ( ), within a three-year period preceding this offer, been convicted of or had a civil judgment rendered against them for: commission of fraud or a criminal offense in connection with obtaining, attempting to obtain, or performing a public (Federal, State, or local) contract or subcontract; violation of Federal or State antitrust statutes relating to the submission of offers; or commission of embezzlement, theft, forgery, bribery, falsification or destruction of records, making false statements, tax evasion, violating Federal criminal tax laws, or receiving stolen property (if offeror checks “have”, the offeror shall also see 52.209-7, if included in this solicitation); and

(C) Are ( ) are not ( ) presently indicted for, or otherwise criminally or civilly charged by a governmental entity with, commission of any of the offenses enumerated in paragraph (a)(1)(i)(B) of this provision; and

(D) Have , have not , within a three-year period preceding this offer, been notified of any delinquent Federal taxes in an amount that exceeds the threshold at 9.104-5(a)(2) for which the liability remains unsatisfied.

(1) Federal taxes are considered delinquent if both of the following criteria apply:

(i) The tax liability is finally determined. The liability is finally determined if it has been assessed. A liability is not finally determined if there is a pending administrative or judicial challenge. In the case of a judicial challenge to the liability, the liability is not finally determined until all judicial appeal rights have been exhausted.

(ii) The taxpayer is delinquent in making payment. A taxpayer is delinquent if the taxpayer has failed to pay the tax liability when full payment was due and required. A taxpayer is not delinquent in cases where enforced collection action is precluded.

(2) Examples. (i) The taxpayer has received a statutory notice of deficiency, under I.R.C. Sec. 6212, which entitles the taxpayer to seek Tax Court review of a proposed tax deficiency. This is not a delinquent tax because it is not a final tax liability. Should the taxpayer seek Tax Court review, this will not be a final tax liability until the taxpayer has exercised all judicial appeal rights.

(ii) The IRS has filed a notice of Federal tax lien with respect to an assessed tax liability, and the taxpayer has been issued a notice under I.R.C. Sec. 6320 entitling the taxpayer to request a hearing with the IRS Office of Appeals contesting the lien filing, and to further appeal to the Tax Court if the IRS determines to sustain the lien filing. In the course of the hearing, the taxpayer is entitled to contest the underlying tax liability because the taxpayer has had no prior opportunity to contest the liability. This is not a delinquent tax because it is not a final tax liability. Should the taxpayer seek tax court review, this will not be a final tax liability until the taxpayer has exercised all judicial appeal rights.

(iii) The taxpayer has entered into an installment agreement pursuant to I.R.C. Sec. 6159. The taxpayer is making timely payments and is in full compliance with the agreement terms. The taxpayer is not delinquent because the taxpayer is not currently required to make full payment.

(iv) The taxpayer has filed for bankruptcy protection. The taxpayer is not delinquent because enforced collection action is stayed under 11 U.S.C. 362 (the Bankruptcy Code).

(ii) The Offeror has ( ) has not ( ), within a three-year period preceding this offer, had one or more contracts terminated for default by any Federal agency.

(2) Principal, for the purposes of this certification, means an officer, director, owner, partner, or a person having primary management or supervisory responsibilities within a business entity (e.g., general manager; plant manager; head of a division or business segment; and similar positions).

(b) The Offeror shall provide immediate written notice to the Contracting Officer if, at any time prior to contract award, the Offeror learns that its certification was erroneous when submitted or has become erroneous by reason of changed circumstances.

(c) A certification that any of the items in paragraph (a) of this provision exists will not necessarily result in withholding of an award under this solicitation. However, the certification will be considered in connection with a determination of the Offeror's responsibility.
