TRANSMISSION SCHEDULES, PRICE SUMMARY & TOTALS CHART, AND PRICE

SHEET (PAGE 1)

INSTRUCTIONS

Instructions: There are a total of five “Transmission Schedules.” Three (3) Transmission Schedules are for summer (one each for Africa, Asia, and Eastern Europe), and two (2) Transmission Schedules are for winter (one each for Africa and Asia).

Each Offeror must list on each of the Transmission Schedules its hourly rate (price per transmitter hour/fully loaded flat hourly capacity lease rate/transmitter rate per hour) in the column labeled “HOURLY RATE” and total price (in the lower right corner of the Transmission Schedule) to provide shortwave coverage for all listed areas, some of the areas, or regions within the areas for which the Offeror seeks award. That is, on each Transmission Schedule the Offeror must enter its hourly rate for transmitter coverage for each region for which award is sought, and calculate its total price for its offered hours. On each Transmission Schedule the Offeror’s total price will equal the sum of all of the products of its offered hours times its hourly rates.

Following the five (5) Transmission Schedules is a “Price Summary and Totals Chart.” On it the Offeror must enter its total transmitter hours proposed and its total Price. Total transmitter hours proposed must equal the sum of the transmitter hours proposed on the five Transmission Schedules. Total price proposed must equal the sum of the total prices on the five (5) Transmission Schedules. The total transmitter hour’s proposed and total price proposed represent total hours and total price for summer and winter.

Following the Price Summary and Totals Chart is a “Price Sheet.” The Offeror must complete it for the Base Period and for each of the four Option Periods. The Base Period price, price per transmitter hour (the fully loaded flat hourly capacity lease rate/the transmitter rate per hour), and power of transmitter must be listed. Each Option Period’s price, price per transmitter hour (the fully loaded flat hourly capacity lease rate/the transmitter rate per hour), and power of transmitter must be listed.

As indicated above, if the Offeror does not want to be considered for all of the transmitting coverage Areas (i.e., Africa, Asia or Eastern Europe) the Offeror should reflect this by placing in the column labeled “HOURLY RATE on each Transmission Schedule an hourly rate (a price per transmitter hour/fully loaded flat hourly capacity lease rate/transmitter rate per hour) only for the area(s) and regions within the area(s) for which the Offeror wants to be considered.

If the Offeror intends to use multiple transmitters and will have differing hourly rates (prices per transmitter hour/the fully loaded flat hourly capacity lease rate/ transmitter rate per hour) for the different transmitters, the Transmission Schedules, Price Summary and Totals Chart, and Price Sheet should be tailored to provide the additional hourly rate (price per transmitter hour/fully loaded flat hourly capacity lease rate/transmitter rate per hour) and the related addition information about the power of each transmitter. (This document is provided in Word should such tailoring be required.)
