- Description
- NATIONAL SECURITY TECHNOLOGIES IS SEEKING SOURCES WITH EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCE IN PROVIDING AVIATION CONSULTING. REQUEST ALL INTERESTED PARTIES SUBMIT AN EXPERIENCE/CAPABILITY STATEMENT WHICH PROVIDES SUFFICIENT DETAIL TO ENABLE A PRELIMINARY FUNCTIONAL EVALUATION. STATEMENT OF WORK Work plan The Exhibit 300 document is a summary report that is based on a substantial amount of analysis and documentation. This analysis and documentation will be contained in a document entitled the Business Case Analysis. The business case analysis contains the following sections: - Introduction - Mission(s) o Legislative mandate(s)/Agency charter o Primary and secondary missions - Performance measures - Requirements o Payload, performance, etc. o Number of aircraft - Shortfalls and remaining useful life of fleet - Baseline cost analysis - Cost effectiveness o Aircraft vs. alternate means - Aircraft alternatives analysis (if appropriate) o Solutions to shortfalls o Replacement aircraft o Additional aircraft o Recommendations - Acquisition alternatives analysis o Acquisition/ownership alternatives o Financial analysis o Advantages/disadvantages o Ranking and recommendations - Summary To accomplish this analysis we use the following approach: The development of the analysis starts with an analysis of the legislation and agency directives that define the agency's primary aviation mission(s). In addition, the secondary missions are defined. When the missions have been defined the next step is to determine the high level performance measures that define success for the primary missions. As a minimum these should include measures for: o Mission accomplishment o Cost per mission o Accident/incident rate These should be established for each primary mission. The requirements are based on an analysis of the needs presented by the users of these aircraft. The focus is on current and planned future applications and includes requirements for payload, range, speed, endurance, availability, reliability, target utilization, avionics, special equipment, turn-around time, response time, etc. This document takes the needs of the DOE users of these aircraft and translates them into detailed, specific requirements for each mission and type of aircraft that specify the minimum requirements that will meet the stated needs. An integral part of this analysis is the determination of the minimum number of aircraft needed to perform each mission. The next step in the process is to focus on current and projected shortfalls of the current aircraft and their equipment to determine what alternatives are available to mitigate the shortfall(s). This includes an analysis of the projected useful life of the existing aircraft to determine if potential replacement aircraft need to be analyzed and included in the analysis. This forms the foundation for a long-term (20 years) fleet plan. Next the baseline costs to operate the existing fleet of aircraft are established. This is a primary output for the Exhibit 300 and is also the baseline against which aircraft replacement or upgrade alternatives are measured. In addition, a cost effectiveness analysis must be accomplished that shows that the use of aircraft is the most cost effective means of accomplishing the mission(s) assigned to these aircraft. There are no current plans to replace these aircraft. However, the fixed wing aircraft are over 25 years old and the helicopters are about 17 years old. Therefore, an analysis should be done to determine what the aging issues are that are associated with these aircraft, what modifications, SLEPs (if any) and avionics or other upgrades need to be included in the long term planning for these aircraft and to establish a long term replacement plan. Once the preceding parts of the analysis are completed, a financial analysis will be accomplished to determine the projected operating budget as well as the acquisition budget for upgrades and/or new aircraft. This will include an analysis of the best method of acquisition and operation of the aircraft.  Exhibit 300 (E 300) When the preceding documents have been prepared and approved, the Exhibit 300 for these aircraft will be completed in accordance with the applicable OMB Circular A-11 guidelines. We plan to provide two separate Ex 300 documents. One will be for the King Air 200 aircraft and one for the Bell 412 helicopters. Deliverables The deliverables for this project consist of the following: 1) Business Case Analysis 2) Exhibit 300 - Fixed wing missions 3) Exhibit 300 - Helicopter missions
