- Description
- Request for information Chase Plane Solicitation 1. Your March 22 Mod does not stipulate that this effort is or is not currently funded, or whether funds are appropriated. ANSWER: THIS REQUIREMENT IS FUNDED 2. Is there an Incumbent Contractor? If so, can we get the contract number or a redacted version of the contract? ANSWER: YES. CHALK 2 IS THE INCUMBENT A REDACTED VERSION WILL BE POSTED. 3. Is there any historical utilization information you can provide? ANSWER: SOLICITATION WAS BUILD OFF HISTORICAL UTILIZATION. 4. The CLIN 0001 is not defined. Will we be inputting any dollar value there? ANSWER: NO 5. These aircraft will be relatively high performance aircraft, and not easily utilized elsewhere in the local area. Therefore, in order to reduce the Risk to the contractors, which, of course, risk, increases the price to the Government, would it be possible to have a monthly (times 12) Firm Fixed Monthly CLIN that is not tied to Available Days or flight hours? ANSWER: NO. DUE TO DOMESTIC OPERATIONS AND TRAINING SCHEDULES AN IDIQ IS THE BEST CONTRACT VEHICLE FOR THIS REQUIREMENT. 6. Or, please eliminate the Minimum of 300 available days per year and just go with the 612 days per year, with a definition that this requires all 3 aircraft to be available for a total of 204 days. ANSWER: NO 7. Will all 3 aircraft be utilized for all missions? ANSWER: THE IDEA BEHIND THE AVAILABILITY OF AIRCRAFT IS TO ENSURE THERE IS A SPARE TO AVOID CHASE/CONTRACTOR CANCELLATION. WE COULD FEASIBLY BE FLYING 4-5 MQ-9'S AT DIFFERENT TIMES FROM MARCH ARB THUS THE NEED FOR MULTIPLE CHASE ASSETS. 8. Are there any periods within the year when services will not be required? This is based on the assumption that, with 5 weekdays per week times 52 weeks per year, there are a total of 260 potential daytime work days per aircraft (times 3 aircraft plus 6 crew members). ANSWER: WE DO NOT PLAN TO HAVE ANY SCHEDULED PERIODS OF TIME WHERE WE WILL NOT USE CHASE. WE DO HOWEVER, WORK A 9/80 STYLE WORKWEEK SO THERE WILL BE SOME WEEKDAYS OFF. ALSO, WE COULD BE ACTIVATED TO FLY DOMESTIC OPERATIONS AND THAT COULD END UP BEING A 24/7 OPERATION, CHASE WILL BE REQUIRED. 9. Because we are talking about a minimum of 3 aircraft and 6 pilots, there are significant assets that must have their costs covered. Therefore, more parameters of availability would be appreciated, and will reduce your prices, if the assets are not required to be available full time. ANSWER: PLEASE RESUBMIT QUESTION WITH ADDITIONAL INFO. UNABLE TO ANSWER. 10. What are the minimum crew requirements for Pilot and Observer? ANSWER: WILL POST ANSWER TO THIS BY 4/17 11. What will cause a crewmember to be rejected by the Government? ANSWER: WILL POST ANSWER TO THIS BY 4/17 12. If a crew member is rejected during the proposal process, will the contractor have an opportunity to replace that member? If so, what will be the parameters; i.e., timeline, etc.? ANSWER: NO. 13. Will the due date for proposals remain 20 April; 21 days from today - March 30? ANSWER: YES. 14. Is there any possibility that the contractor operating the three aircraft operate from March? ANSWER: THE ONLY WAY THAT WOULD BE POSSIBLE IS TO WORK OUT A CONTRACT ON THE CIVILIAN SIDE WITH MILLIONAIR. WE DO NOT HAVE THE RAMP AVAILABILITY TO HOUSE A CIVILIAN CONTRACTOR.
