1.1.1 The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Flight Program Operations

Critical Event Response / Transportation Mission, located in Hangar 6 at Ronald

Reagan Washington National Airport, Washington, D.C. has a requirement for one (1) leased Cessna Citation Sovereign Plus. There will be an option for a second leased Cessna Citation Sovereign Plus aircraft. This option may or may not be exercised.

1.1.2 The airplane(s) must be registered in the United States and have a current FAA

Certificate of Airworthiness. The airplane(s) shall be less than five years old at the beginning of this effort. The airplane(s) must comply with Appendix A and

Appendix B attached to this SOW. The airplane(s) will be leased on an

“exclusive use" basis. The FAA estimates the first aircraft will be utilized approximately 500 Time-In- Service (TIS) hours per year. If the second aircraft option is exercised, the FAA estimates the second aircraft will be utilized approximately 200 TIS hours per year.

1.1.3 The airplane(s) will be used to accomplish critical event response/transportation and limited flight inspection missions of Flight Program Operations. The critical event response /transportation mission provides on-call aviation support to the

National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), Federal Emergency

Management Agency (FEMA) and senior government officials including the

Secretary of Transportation, the FAA Administrator and Deputy Administrator, Presidential Cabinet members, members of Congress, and other federal agencies as requested. The airplane(s) will primarily operate in CONUS. The airplane(s) could be operated in Europe, Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean area, and South

America if required.

1.1.4 The airplane(s) shall be dry-leased without pilot for the exclusive use of the

FAA and will be operated and maintained under Code of Federal Regulation 14

CFR Part 135. All manufacturer-stated scheduled and any unscheduled maintenance to return the aircraft to service will be covered under the lease terms and performed by the aircraft manufacturer or one of their approved maintenance service centers. The airplane(s) will be maintained under the Flight

Program Operations’ Continuous Airworthiness Maintenance Program

(CAMP) in accordance with 14 CFR Part 135 Subpart J. The FAA will perform routine line maintenance and other maintenance as needed to expedite return to service.

7.2 For any maintenance/inspection visits, the incoming and departure dates, and times, will be agreed upon and confirmed by the COR, Flight Program Operations

Maintenance Control and the Contractor in advance of such visit. If for any reason the aircraft return-to-service date is delayed beyond 72 hours past scheduled, a decrease in monthly lease payment of 1/30th for each 24-hour period the aircraft is out of service will apply. The calculation for each 24-hour period begins after 72 hours from the original agreed upon departure date and time.

7.3 If the second aircraft option is exercised, both aircraft should not be planned for scheduled maintenance at the same time.

8.0 AIRCRAFT USE AND MAINTENANCE

8.1 The aircraft will be leased on an “exclusive use" basis, and the FAA estimates the first aircraft will be utilized approximately 500 Time-In-Service (TIS) hours per year. For the first aircraft, any hours over 500 will be subject to Contracting Officer review and approval, see Section 8.0. If the second aircraft option is exercised, the FAA estimates the second aircraft will be utilized approximately 200 TIS hours per year. For the second aircraft, any hours over 200 will be subject to Contracting Officer review and approval, see Section 8.0.

8.2 The FAA will furnish aircraft monthly usage reports to the Contractor if so requested.

The Contractor shall inform the Flight Program Operations Maintenance Control of upcoming scheduled maintenance and closely coordinate with Maintenance Control to determine when the aircraft will be out-of- service for such maintenance. This includes all known heavy/major maintenance inspections. The Contractor shall provide the projected dates of upcoming scheduled maintenance at proposal, and on a semi-annual basis and when there are any changes in the schedule. [CDRL A004]

8.3 The Contractor shall perform all programmed scheduled and unscheduled maintenance on the airframe, engines, components, and accessories.

8.4 Maintenance operations may be performed on Government property subject to approval by the COR. All maintenance performed shall be recorded in accordance with the Flight

Program Operations’ General Maintenance Manual. All time change components, including engines, shall be replaced upon the Manufacturer’s recommended time interval. At the completion of each scheduled inspection away from Hangar 6, the

Contractor shall thoroughly clean the inside and outside of the airplane(s). This includes washing and polishing to maintain appearance and condition equal to that when first delivered to the Government considering fair wear and tear.

8.5 The Contractor shall ensure that engine and airframe logs are properly completed following any maintenance action they perform or performed by any subcontractor in accordance with Flight Program Operations’ CAMP.

8.6 The FAA will normally fly the aircraft to and from scheduled maintenance. However, if the aircraft is disabled, the Contractor shall be responsible for ferrying the aircraft to a service center for repair along with associated costs.

8.7 The FAA may elect to perform any repair or inspection to the airplane(s) at home base or grounded location site using FAA maintenance personnel and equipment. The FAA will request concurrence with the Contractor, in advance, of any maintenance action that it intends to perform that will exceed 10 hours. The FAA will bill back to the contractor for labor expended by FAA to repair or inspect the aircraft(s) above and beyond routine line maintenance. The labor rate charged back will be equal to the contractors prevailing hourly labor rate at the time the maintenance was performed. The FAA will document all maintenance activities including specific information outlining the work accomplished, parts replaced, and labor spent repairing or inspecting the airplane(s). This document will be submitted to the contractor for applicable reduction in the monthly lease rate. Any and all replacement parts required to correct discrepancies, complete inspections, or return the aircraft to service will be provided by the contractor. The FAA will determine the required method of shipment and any shipping costs associated with such delivery will be borne by the contractor. The FAA will utilize standard flat rates and standard practices for determining the charge-back amount required.

8.8 Upon request of the Contractor, certain aircraft parts, if available, may be provided by the FAA for emergency repairs. These parts shall be replaced by the Contractor.

8.9 In the event emergency repairs (NTE $1,000) are performed by a non FAA or authorized service center and that facility will not agree to bill the contractor, payment may be made by the Government, and the Contractor shall reimburse the FAA for the repairs.

8.10 The FAA may request Contractor support when performing maintenance to correct aircraft discrepancies. Contractor support is defined as technical support services and or test equipment from the manufacturer or its authorized service center. Shipment of parts and test equipment to the location of an aircraft may be required of the contractor.

8.11 All reimbursements to the FAA by the Contractor pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph shall be in accordance with the Contract and can be reconciled by adjusting the monthly invoices for lease payments, or as agreed upon by both parties.
