This capability is needed to eliminate a capacity shortfall for aircraft paint and paint removal at OC-ALC, while ensuring aircraft structural integrity, environmental compliance and potentially reducing cost. An opportunity exists for the contractor to perform commerical aircraft work facilitated by airfield landing rights at Tinker AFB, OK. The Request For Proposal will contain alternate approaches identified as Plan A and Plan B. Under Plan A the contractor will enter into a lease agreement with the Oklahoma City Airport Trust. The lease rental payments will be structured to repay the debt service on bonds, operation and maintenance of the facilities, easements, insurance, indemnificatin, and other standard terms and conditions. Under Plan B, OC- ALC will lease the facility from the Trust and the contractor will operate it, under contract with OC-ALC, performing paint and depaint operations. The Government will provide the lease and aircraft workload while the contractor will provide corrosion control services only. Under both Plans A & B, the Trust will provide the land and will be the landlord. OC-ALC will provide access to the facility, via an aircraft tow way. The contract is anticipated to be Firm Fixed Price with Economic Price Adjustment (FFPw/EPA) provisions. The period of performance is expected to be for 10 years, (one basic year and 9 one year options) Apr 99 through Apr 09. Facility must be operational to perform paint/paint removal requirements no later than Apr 99. The final RFP is scheduled to be released 02 Dec 96 with a closing date of 17 Jan 97.
