FOR

Fully Contractor-Operated and Maintained Exclusive Use Helicopter to Support Government Natural Resource Missions

Part 1

1. GENERAL: This is a non-personal services contract to provide a fully Contractor-operated and maintained exclusive use helicopter to support Department of the Army natural resource missions. 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. The Contractor, in turn, shall be accountable to the Government for Contractor or sub-Contractor personnel.

1.1. Description of Services/Introduction: The Contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, supplies, transportation, tools, materials, supervision, and any other items or non-personal services necessary to perform aerial prescribed burning on Fort Stewart/Hunter Army Airfield, Georgia, as defined in this Performance Work Statement (PWS), except for those items specified as government furnished property and services. The Contractor shall perform in accordance with (IAW) the terms and conditions of the contract and consistently with the established standards in this PWS and contract.

1.1.1 The Contractor shall utilize a Premo MK III Plastic Sphere Dispenser (PSD) ignition system compatible with the aircraft to prescribed burn ranges and timberland on Fort Stewart. The PSD system will ignite ground fuel on a grid system with spots located from 30 to 100 feet apart as prescribed by the aerial Firing Boss at the prescribed burning site.

1.1.2 The Contractor shall be responsible for igniting the grid pattern with an accuracy of +/-20% at a ground speed of 60 M.P.H. with ground winds 20 M.P.H. or less.

1.1.3 The Contractor may occasionally be required to operate on Townsend Bombing Range or Fort Jackson, SC, 1-5 days a year for prescribed burning or wildfire reconnaissance. The helicopter will return to MidCoast Regional Airport at Wright Army Airfield (WAAF) at the end of each day.

1.2 Background: Fort Stewart has utilized helicopters since the late 1980’s to prescribed burn an average of 115,000 acres annually. Aerial ignition using a helicopter is the safest, most efficient and effective method for accomplishing this mission.

1.3 Objectives: The basic service objective is to provide a fully Contractor operated helicopter and Premo MK III PSD ignition system to conduct aerial burning operations or other natural resource flight operations on Fort Stewart/Hunter Army Airfield.

1.4 Scope: The services covered under this contract include supplying one helicopter and aerial ignition systems to facilitate prescribed burning operations, wildfire suppression, inspection of range and woodland areas, and other forest management or administrative flights within the boundaries of Fort Stewart and Hunter Army Airfield, Georgia.

1.6 Quality Control: Quality Control is the responsibility of the Contractor. The Contractor shall develop, implement, and maintain a Quality Assurance Program (QAP) to ensure all work described in this contract is performed at or above the standard defined in the Performance Requirements Summary (PRS).

The QAP is developed by the Contractor to ensure that it performs and delivers high-quality service and products. And it shall include methods of documenting and enforcing quality control operations of both prime Contractor and or sub-Contractor work; including inspection and testing. (see FAR 52.246-1 Contractor Inspection Requirements).

1.6.1 Quality Control Program: The Government is committed to a highly interactive relationship between quality control conducted by the Contractor and quality assurance conducted by the government.

This relationship shall be achieved through an effective Prevention Based Quality Control Program dedicated to ensuring the best possible products and services to end users. The Contractor shall provide their final written Quality Control Plan (QCP) no later than (NLT) 10 days after contract award and within five (5) days of any proposed changed to the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) and Contracting Officer (KO) for review and approval prior to implementation. The Quality Control Plan shall address as a minimum:

1.6.2 The Contractor’s quality control program shall demonstrate its prevention-based outlook by meeting the objectives stated in the PWS throughout all areas of performance. The QCP shall be developed to specify the Contractor’s responsibility for management and quality control actions to meet the terms of the contract.

1.6.3 The Contractor’s QCP shall be maintained throughout the life of the contract and shall include the Contractor’s procedures to routinely evaluate the effectiveness of the plan to ensure the Contractor is meeting the performance standards and requirements of the contract. Proposed changes made after KO acceptance shall be submitted in writing through the COR to the KO for review and acceptance prior to implementing any revision.

1.6.5 Inspection Files: The Contractor shall keep records on-site of all inspections and maintenance conducted by the Contractor and any necessary corrective action taken. These documents shall be available for inspection by the Government during the term of the contract.

1.6.6 Deficiency Identification, Prevention, and Correction: The QCP shall include a method of identifying and preventing deficiencies in the quality of services performed before the level of performance becomes unacceptable as defined in the PRS, without dependence upon Government direction. The Contractor shall identify and prevent defects in quality of products and services performed before the level becomes unacceptable and before they are provided to the Government. The QCP at a minimum shall address process control and continuous process improvement; procedures for scheduling, conducting, and documentation of inspection; discrepancy identification; procedures for root cause analysis; corrective and preventive action procedures to include procedures for addressing Government discovered non-conformances; procedures for trend analysis; and procedures for collecting and addressing customer feedback/complaints. The QCP shall document process control and process performance measurement procedures that shall include how the Contractor shall implement preventive corrective actions. The Contractor shall demonstrate that it has designed quality into the delivery of services thereby mitigating the risk(s) associated with delivery of deficient or nonconforming services.

1.6.7 The QCP shall contain methods of communications (direct and indirect) with the Government regarding performance of the contract. Communication shall include regular and formal meetings with the Government for review and analyses of key process indicators, analysis of process deficiencies, and problem resolution.

1.6.8 Contractor Discrepancy Report (CDR): When the Contractor's performance is unsatisfactory, a CDR will be issued. The Contractor shall reply in writing within five (5) work days from the date of receipt of the CDR, giving the reasons for the unsatisfactory performance, corrective action taken, and procedures to preclude recurrence.

1.6.9 Quality Assurance: The COR will evaluate the Contractor’s performance under this contract in accordance with the Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP). This plan is primarily focused on what the COR must do to ensure that the Contractor has performed in accordance with the performance standards. It defines how the performance standards will be applied, the frequency of surveillance, and the minimum acceptable defect rate(s).

When an observation indicates defective performance, the COR will require the Contractor or designated on-site representative to initial the observation to acknowledge the defective performance. The acknowledgement of the observation does not necessarily constitute Contractor concurrence with the observation, only that the Contractor has been made aware of the defective performance.

1.7 Recognized Federal Holidays: The Contractor is normally not required to perform services on recognized federal holidays. However, that requirement is subject to mission execution requirements, and flights may be required and scheduled on federal holidays. The recognized federal holidays include:

New Year’s Day Labor Day Martin Luther King Jr. Day Columbus Day Presidents Day Veteran’s Day Memorial Day Thanksgiving Day Independence Day Christmas Day

1.8 Anti-Terrorism (AT) Level I Training: Contractor personnel performing work under this contract that require access to Army installations, facilities, and controlled access areas shall complete AT Level I awareness training within 30 calendar days after commencing performance under this contract. The Contractor shall submit employee certificates of completion within 30 calendar days after completion of the training to the COR. AT Level I awareness training is available at the following website:

http://jko.jten.mil/courses/atl1/launch.html

1.9 iWATCH Training: The Contractor shall brief all personnel performing work under this contract on the local iWATCH program [training standards provided by the requiring activity Anti-Terrorism Office (ATO)]. This locally developed training will be used to inform employees of the types of behavior to watch for and instruct employees to report suspicious activity to the COR. This training shall be completed within 30 calendar days of contract award with the results reported to the COR NLT 45 calendar days after contract award. New employees shall complete the training within 10 calendar days of commencing performance of work under this contract.

iWatch is simply common awareness. Contract employees can be good sources of information. iWatch training would include organization instructions on “things to look for” and a phone number to call in case the contract employees have information regarding possible terrorist or criminal activities. Providing the Contractor with awareness materials such as the iWatch brochure or wallet card is a cost effective alternative to training. The card describes suspicious activity and can be modified to include the COR in reporting procedures. Samples of the iWatch brochure and posters are available on the Antiterrorism Enterprise Portal (ATEP) at https://army.deps.mil/army/sites/PMG/prog/ATEP/iWATCH%20Army/Forms/AllItems.aspx and https://www.army.mil/e2/c/downloads/287489.pdf https://army.deps.mil/army/sites/PMG/prog/ATEP/iWATCH%20Army/Forms/AllItems.aspx https://www.army.mil/e2/c/downloads/287489.pdf
