The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) owns/operates the AC-695A Jet Prop Commander Aircraft in various locations throughout the United States and Canada. It has been determined that the AC-695A Jet Prop Commander will be based out of Flying Cloud Airport (KFCM) to be operated in support of critical snow survey related research and soil moisture data collection throughout the entirety of the year. Due to winter weather conditions in the Minneapolis area and the requirements for the aircraft, it is necessary that the aircraft be kept in a heated hangar during the period March 31, 2013 through March 30, 2014. In addition to heated hangar requirements during winter months, the aircraft further requires hangar during the remainder of the year to prolong the life of the aircraft and sensitive scientific mission equipment for soil moisture data collection. b) SCOPE. NOAA's AC-695A Jet Prop Commander aircraft will be operating out of Flying Cloud Airport in Eden Prairie (KFCM) in support of snow survey and soil moisture research nationwide. The AC-695A Jet Prop Commander is used by the National Operational Hydrologic Remote Sensing Center (NOHRSC) to conduct aerial soil moisture and snow surveys in the United States and Canada. Snow water equivalent (SWE) measurements are gathered during the winter months over a number of flight lines at 500 feet above the ground at ground speeds ranging between 100 and 120 knots. Gamma radiation emitted from trace elements of potassium, uranium and thorium radioisotopes in the upper 20 cm of soil is attenuated by soil moisture and water mass in the snow cover. Information collected during snow survey missions, along with photographic data, is used by the National Weather Service River Forecasting Centers and other government agencies to forecast river levels, water flow, and potential flooding events due to spring snowmelt water runoff. The contractor shall provide heated hangar space for one (1) AC-695A Jet Prop Commander aircraft having a wingspan of 52 feet, length 43 feet and 14 feet 11.5 inches high at the tail. Heated hangar means that the hangar is maintained at a temperature above 40 degrees Fahrenheit. Flight crews shall have access to the aircraft 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The contractor can determine if access will be available using on-site personnel that are available at any time, or if not available, issue keys to the flight crews for the hangar where the aircraft is stored. Security clause 1352.239-72 does not apply to the SOW and a Security Accreditation Package is not required. The following services are requested as part of the hangar lease price. If there are extra charges or fees for any of these services in addition to the fixed base hangar rental price, provide separate pricing information for each item: 1) Ground support equipment use including: a) DC external power unit, b) Ground service equipment on an as needed basis, c) Tow vehicle and driver for aircraft movement in and out of hangar. 2) Hangar amenities including: tools, equipment, consumables, phones, heat and DC power, 3) 24-hour access for maintenance and flight crew, 4) Storage space in hangar for extra gear and equipment 5 ft x 5 ft, 5) Acceptance of Multiservice Air Card for payment of incidentals. c) PERFORMANCE PERIOD. The hangar lease is required from March 31, 2013 through March 20, 2014, which is the base period, with one six-month option period. However, the Government reserves the right to depart early from the survey site and from use of the hangar without incurring any additional fees or penalties associated with departing early. At the conclusion of the lease, Government owned parts, equipment, and property shall be returned to the Government. d) INSURANCE. The contractor shall at its own expense, provide and maintain hull liability insurance of not less than $2,000,000.00 to cover the aircraft in the event of fire or any catastrophic damage to the hangar resulting in loss or damage to the aircraft. Contractor shall provide the Contracting Officer written documentation that the required insurance has been obtained along with a copy of the insurance certificate. e) SUBMITTAL OF INVOICES.
