C-1. GENERAL: This is a non-personal services contract to provide simulator operators and training support services for the Maritime and Intermodal Training Department (MITD), of the US Army Transportation School (USATSCH). The Government shall not exercise any supervision or control over the contract service providers performing the services herein. Such contract service providers shall be accountable solely to the Contractor who, in turn is responsible to the Government.

C-1.1 Description of Services/Introduction: The contractor shall provide all personnel, needed supplies, transportation, supervision, and non-personal services necessary to perform the contract tasks for the contract as defined in this PWS except for those items specified as government furnished property and services. The contractor shall perform to the standards in this contract.

C-1.2 Background: This contract is to provide simulator operators and operations support for the Transportation School mission of training Army personnel to the highest standards. Lack of simulator operators and operations support services degrade existing resources and capabilities, and put the mission and the safety of Soldiers at risk. The contractors will conduct safe, cost effective hands-on training, and provide the force with Soldiers who otherwise not be available at the projected level of skill. The need for simulator based training services is to meet the student training load projections on a long range and continuing basis. The MITD is the recipient of many maritime simulators that have reduced costs of actual shipboard operation and allowed for continuous reinforced of required hands-on skills in watercraft operation and cargo handling. The utilization of these simulators has greatly enhanced the skill level of our all maritime personnel.

C-1.2.1 The need for operations support and Fort Lee and Fort Eustis is required to ensure training facilities and services are provided on a daily basis.

C-1.3 Objectives:
