As Needed Helicopter Services Kodiak AK

The Coast Guard is seeking qualified businesses interested in providing "call when needed" helicopter charter services in Kodiak Alaska. The total requirement is estimated to be 20 hours between May 1 and December 31, 2010. The Coast Guard anticipates a requirement for a Bell 206L (or similarly capable) helicopter to accommodate projected personnel loads, equipment, supplies and distances. It is a requirement that the helicopter and pilot be based in Kodiak as time may not allow and no payment will be made for transit time to/from Kodiak before and after chartered flights. Both the helicopter(s) and pilot(s) must be carded by the Office of Aviation Safety (OAS) and the U.S. Forest Service. Exact location of flights have not been determined at this time, however multiple areas on Kodiak Island, Katmai National Park, Ugak Island, and East Chugach Island are planned. Interested vendors who feel that they meet the above listed requirements for Kodiak based, OAS/USFS carded helicopter charter services should contact the Contracting Officer, via e-mail at [email protected]. All qualified parties will be given consideration.
