Attached: Statement of Work: Transport NPS Fundamentals II Participants from Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport, Phoenix, AZ to Albright Training Center, Grand Canyon, AZ and Return BACKGROUND The National Park Service's (NPS) Horace M. Albright Training Center, hereafter referred to as the "Center," located on the south rim of the Grand Canyon, offers introductory training to approximately 700 new employees annually. Up to 56 trainees are on site during a training cycle (i.e., two courses that run concurrently). Participants fly into Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport and are transported to the Center, returning to Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport two weeks later. Currently, participants pick up rental vans at the airport and carpool to the Center, reversing the process once the class has ended. This practice is not cost-effective. This practice also puts employees at risk, as participants are already weary when they begin their four-hour drive to the Grand Canyon, and may lack experience in driving larger vehicles or dealing with inclement weather typical of the Southwest (e.g., dust storms, monsoons, snow and ice). PURPOSE This scope of work requests quotations for transporting participants from the Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport to the Albright Training Center, Grand Canyon, and return, for the nine remaining courses of the year (February - August, 2006). It should be noted that due to fiscal constraints, the course schedule may be reduced with minimal notice. SPECIFICATIONS 1) Quotes shall be based on two round-trips per course. There are approximately two courses per month. The current (pending) course schedule is attached. 2) The Contractor shall provide quotes on each individual course, not on the season (e.g., the nine courses). 3) The schedule shall provide for two pickup times at the airport, one at 1:00 p.m. and one at 4:00 p.m. Pickups shall be made at each of the four Sky Harbor terminals. The Contractor shall propose a schedule for the terminal pickups, and designate a pickup location in their quote. For the return trip from the Center to the Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport, the Contractor shall schedule two pickup times at the Center, one at 5:00 a.m. and one at 7:00 a.m. There is only one pick-up point at the Center. 4) A number of participants drive private vehicles to the Center, reducing the number of participants needing transportation from the Contractor. The NPS will supply an approximate number of riders three days prior to the pick-up day. The Contractor shall provide a cost estimate for using full-capacity buses and a cost estimate for using smaller vehicles (e.g., vans) when fewer riders are expected. 5) Buses (or vans) must accommodate participants and their luggage. Vehicles will stop twice northbound and twice southbound. Each stop will last 15 minutes, and occur at the Interstate rest stop on I-40 between Flagstaff and Williams, and at the Interstate rest area on I-17 north of Phoenix. 6) The Contractor shall provide a point of contact and a contact number on travel days, including direct contact with the driver(s). This will enable the NPS to keep drivers informed of late arrivals and/or cancellations who will not need to be picked up. SCHEDULE Pick-up at Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport and Drop-off at the Albright Training Center 1) 2/27/2006 2) 3/13/2006 3) 4/3/2006 4) 5/1/2006 5) 5/15/2006 6) 6/5/2006 7) 6/19/2006 8) 7/17/2006 9) 7/31/2006 Pick-up at the Albright Training Center and Drop-off at the Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport 1) 3/10/2006 2) 3/24/2006 3) 4/14/2006 4) 5/12/2006 5) 5/26/2006 6) 6/16/2006 7) 6/30/2006 8) 7/28/2006 9) 8/11/2006 The Contractor must strictly adhere to the schedule and shall notify the Contracting Officer's Technical Representative (COTR) immediately should the driver of the vehicle be late, and provide the reason why the vehicle is late and when service is expected to resume/begin. VEHICLE REQUIREMENTS The vehicle(s) provided must be dependable, in good working condition as applicable, and capable of accommodating all participants and their luggage. All vehicles used by the Contractor must be appropriately registered, licensed and insured as required by Federal, State and Local Government for the type of service to be performed. DRIVER REQUIREMENTS A driver will be assigned to the route and must be licensed to operate a vehicle of this type specified herein in the state of Arizona. At all times during the performance of the contract and until completion of the performance period, the Contractor shall provide a driver who is competent, safe, and dependable. Periodically, the COTR may require the driver of the vehicle to check verification of Government employees riding in the vehicle. DOWNTIME When any vehicle regularly used in the performance of this contract is out of service for any reason, the vehicle will be replaced by the Contractor with a vehicle of the same or similar specifications as the inoperable vehicle. Inoperative vehicles shall be replaced by the Contractor within a reasonable amount of time. The vehicle will not be considered back in service until the Contractor officially notifies the COTR. If the Contractor fails to repair or replace the inoperative vehicle, the NPS, at its option, may elect to secure a replacement vehicle from other sources, without regard or consideration of the reasons that caused the downtime. The Contractor will be assessed the cost incurred by the NPS in securing the replacement vehicle. The Contractor will notify the COTR by telephone of any breakdown and the estimated time in which a replacement vehicle will arrive. PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE The period of performance of this contract will commence February 1, 2006, depending upon availability of appropriated funds, and continue through August 31, 2006. NPS ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES 1) The COTR shall provide a list of riders three days in advance of the pick-up date. 2) The COTR shall notify the contractor no later than three days ahead of the pick-up date in case of cancellation. 3) The NPS shall provide a point of contact (COTR). This individual will be stationed at the following address: Horace M. Albright Training Center #1 Albright Ave. P.O. Box 477 Grand Canyon, AZ 86023
