An ACAN is a public notice indicating to the supplier community that a department or agency intends to award a contract for goods, services or construction to a pre-identified supplier, thereby allowing other suppliers to signal their interest in bidding, by submitting a statement of capabilities. If no supplier submits a statement of capabilities that meets the requirements set out in the ACAN, on or before the closing date stated in the ACAN, the contracting officer may then proceed with the award to the pre-identified supplier.
Public Works and Government Services Canada on behalf of Department of National Defence (DND) intends to solicit a bid and negotiate with CAE Aircrew Training Services for the provision of annual CH149 FMFS training to CAF/Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) CH149 Pilots and Flight Engineers as a requirement for the maintenance of flying qualifications and currencies, including basic and advanced emergency training through the use of a Full Motion Flight Simulator (FMFS).
Criteria for assessment of the Statement of Capabilities (Minimum Essential Requirements):
Any interested supplier must demonstrate by way of a statement of capabilities that it meets the following requirements:
1.1.1 The Contractor must provide the RCAF with access to and use of a Full-Motion Flight Simulator (FMFS) which will allow for Initial, Basic, or Conversion Training (hereafter referred to as Ab- Initio) in an environment that approximates flying an EH101/CH149 helicopter. The FMFS must be capable of providing simulation that allows students to attain a basic level of skill and knowledge on various emergency procedures in order to be employed as, and hold, a basic flight qualification.
1.1.2 The Contractor must provide the RCAF with access to and use of an FMFS which will allow for Re-current or Continuation Training (hereafter referred to as Continuation) in an environment that approximates flying an EH101/CH149 helicopter. The FMFS must be capable of providing simulation that allows CH149 pilots and FEs already current on the CH149 to retain that currency.
1.1.3 The Contractor must provide the RCAF with access to and use of an EH101/CH149 FMFS capable of providing simulation that allows for qualification at or above FAA Level-D standards for personnel posted to the CH149 Operational Community in the capacity of but not limited to pilots and FEs for the following simulation manoeuvers:
a. 12 Hours SIM; b. Over Water Transition Down (OWTD) Flown; c. OWTD Monitored; d. OEI Procedure and Landing; e. Tail Rotor Malfunction; and f. Autorotations.
1.1.4 The Contractor must provide a minimum of 24 and a maximum of 30 continuation training simulator sessions per year of 12 hours per session (288 - 360 simulator hours per year):
1.1.5 The Contract must also provide, in addition to continuation training, a minimum of 80 simulator hours per year for ab-initio training.
1.1.6 Courses must take place at the Contractor`s location.
1.1.7 Training courses must be presented in English.
1.1.8 Training courses must be provided by presentation, lecture, simulation, audio/video presentation, group discussion and visit to support facilities, or a combination thereof.
1.1.9 All capabilities and functions of the simulator must be fully operational, serviceable, and configured to enable Canadian training objectives to be met.
1.1.10 Canadian-style PALs must be installed, Flight Control trim functions must emulate the CH149 Cormorant, and the CCU display Hover page must emulate the CCU of the CH149 Cormorant.
1.1.11 The Contractor must provide a designated classroom in close proximity to the flight simulator for the purpose of conducting pre-flight and post-flight debriefings. These briefings (up to 90 minutes) will be conducted prior-to and following each training session.
1.1.12 Parking must be available in close proximity (less than 100 m) to the simulator facility entrance.
