Description

On-call rental of one fully maintained twin engine airplane with pilot for the Department of the Interior, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), Honolulu, Hawaii. The primary need for aircraft is to provide logistical support to the Midway Atoll National Wildlife Refuge. Midway lies 1250 miles northwest of Honolulu, Hawaii. The primary mission of the aircraft is to transfer food, supplies, parts, equipment and personnel between Honolulu and Midway. Contractor may be required on a short notice if an emergency evacuation is needed on Midway Island. A potential hazard that must be considered is the presence of nesting colonies of seabirds on the island. Approximately 1 million albatross may be present from November through July. Other birds such as bonin petrels, white tern, black noddies, frigates and boobies are also present in substantial numbers during much of the year. During the months of November through July most flights are at night to avoid birds strikes. The load requirements are variable, however, a minimum of nineteen passengers seats and a minimum 3800 pound cargo/passenger capacity is required. Freight may include food, diving gear, outboard motors, diesel engines, radio antennas, equipment parts, personal goods, mail, and maintenance equipment. A minimum of 36 round trip flights per year is anticipated. Over night stays at Midway Atoll may be required on approximately 12 of the trips. Term of the contract is one year with options for three additional years. Aircraft and pilots must be certified and checkrided in IFR extended over water operations. Certification under 14 CFR, Chapter 135, Air Taxi Operators and Commercial Operators is required. Contact Carol Petersen at 907-271-5021, or email at carol_petersen@oas.gov, if you are interested in receiving this solicitation.
