Any additional work or discrepancies must have prior approval from the Contracting Officer. The Contractor shall provide a list of discrepancies/tear down inspection report to AOC. The report shall include the extent of the inspection, condition found on all major components, outstanding service bulletins and airworthiness directives that must be complied with, and any recommendations for maintenance that would prevent future failures if applicable. The Contractor may sub-contract out inspection, maintenance, overhaul, and repair work. The Government reserves the right to approve or disapprove, any sub contractor. The Contractor will be responsible for all FAA and AOC required documentation to include but not limited to approval for return to service. A.1 Delivery Requirements: A government flight crew shall fly the aircraft to the Contractor's facility. AOC and/or the flight crew shall notify the Contractor as soon as the need for service, inspection, and repair has been identified. If requested, all scheduled events and required services will be brought to the contractor's attention before award of the contract. Government owned parts, equipment, and property shall be returned to the Government. The cost of shipping the returnables shall be the responsibility of the Government. A.2 Quality Assurance: NOAA/AOC may desire to have a representative witness any part of this contract.

Any repairs outside of this contract must be approved by the Contracting Officer before repairs are started. NOAA shall have access to the aircraft throughout the terms of this contract. NOAA will provide representative for final acceptance and test flight. A.3 Insurance Against Loss or Damage to Government Property: The Contractor shall, at its own expense, provide and maintain hull liability insurance of not less than $2,500,000.00 to cover the aircraft on which this work will be performed. The policies evidencing the required insurance shall contain an endorsement to the effect that any cancellation or any material change adversely affecting the Governments interest shall not be effective: - For such a period as the laws of the State in which this work is to be performed prescribe; or Until 30 days after the insurer or the Contractor gives written notice to the Contracting Officer, whichever period is longer.

Parts and components in an "as removed" status will not be installed on the aircraft. Any part or component that has not reached its recommended service life but fails inspection and needs to be replaced will be treated as an over and above. Since the government cannot determine which parts or components if any meet this criteria, maintenance contractors shall provide what labor rate they will charge the government, per hour for "over and above" discrepancies. Secondly, contractors are asked to provide what percent discount off list price or the cost plus percentage for replacement parts. Parts Manufacturer Approval (PMA) parts are acceptable.

B.3 Over and above discrepancies from initial corrosion inspection as well as any other scheduled or unscheduled maintenance, repairs, upgrades, and inspections. The Contractor is responsible for documenting and reporting, at intervals acceptable to the COTR, all discrepancies found during the inspection. Discrepancies that are not a part of the inspection will be known as "over and above." Corrective actions as a result of the inspection are considered "over and above" items. Any part or component that has not reached its recommended service life, but fails inspection and needs to be replaced, is considered an "over and above" item. "Over and Above" discrepancy report must include (as a minimum): • Description of each discrepancy found; • Number of person-hours per discipline required to complete each discrepancy; • Hourly rate for personnel performing the work; • Parts cost less the percentage discount, if any; • Total dollar amount for the complete list of discrepancies. The COTR will be responsible for reviewing the list of "over and above" discrepancies and making a recommendation to the Contracting Officer, to either accept or decline the contractor's proposal. The contractor shall not proceed with correcting any "over and above" discrepancies without prior approval from the Contracting Officer. The contractor shall bill all charges for "over and above" items on a separate invoice at the conclusion of repairs. Funds for the "over and above" items will be specified at the time of award and included in the Contract Line Item Number (CLIN) 0003. The dollar amount stated in the contract represents an estimated total, not to exceed amount to cover charges for the "over and above". The Government will pay invoices for "over and above "services out of the funds allocated and authorized on CLIN 0003. This paragraph applies only to CLIN0003. It is not possible prior to contract award to accurately estimate the extent and duration of work or to anticipate costs for CLIN0003 with any reasonable degree of confidence. Time and materials provide for acquiring these services will be on the basis of direct labor hours and cost of materials. Direct labor hours are at specified fixed hourly rates that include wages, overhead, general and administrative expenses, and profit. Cost of materials includes appropriate material handling cost as part of material costs. The price to be paid for material shall be based on an established catalog or list price in effect when material or other product is furnished, less all applicable discounts to the Government. In no event shall the price exceed the Contractor's sales price to its most favored customer for the same item in like quantity, or the current market price, whichever is lower. C.1 Evaluation Criteria: All contractors that have responded to the solicitation shall be evaluated under the following criteria: FACTOR 1 - TECHNICAL • Ability to accomplish the corrosion inspection plus scheduled maintenance items listed in Section B for Twin Otter aircraft IAW manufacturer's manual. • Ability to complete all items in required performance period (See D.1 for requirements). • Submitted proof of having maintained or repaired the same model aircraft within the past six months. • Submitted copy of FAA Repair Station Certificate, or Canadian AMO Center documentation. • Submitted proof of insurance documentation (see A.3 for requirements). • Submitted proof of factory trained technicians on staff. • Location of FBO and maintenance facility. • Number of work shifts in a 24 hour day (non-overtime), total service hours per day, and days of operation per week. • Name and location of Contractor's preferred paint shop and price of painting. (See B.2 #1.) FACTOR 2 - PAST PERFORMANCE: Must submit up to three references for recent and relevant contracts for the same or similar items and other references including contract numbers, points of contact with telephone numbers, and other relevant information. Technical and past performance, when combined, is slightly more important than price. As the technical ratings become more equal, price becomes more important. Conversely, as price proposals become more equal to one another, technical proposals will become a more important determining factor. NOAA will evaluate the offeror's proposed prices for fairness and reasonableness in relation to the solicitation's requirements. A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offer's specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award. C.2 Basis for Award: The Government will evaluate the offer for award purposes on the basis of best value. D.1 Schedule: It is desired that this contract be started on or about October 1st 2010 and that the corrosion inspection along with the discrepancies as well as all scheduled maintenance, repairs, inspections, and upgrades listed in section B will be completed within two months. Actual schedule start and completion dates are to be negotiated between NOAA/AOC, Contracting Officer, and the Contractor.
