The basic cockpit upgrade shall be a FAA and/or an EASA approved STC at the time of INDO1 and an EASA approved STC at the time of delivery of first updated CL-604. If the basic cockpit upgrade is a FAA approved STC, an EASA STC approval process shall be initiated at the time of INDO1.

For the 3 missionized aircraft the customised cockpit upgrade shall include: — replacement of an existing Direction Finder (DF) with a new DF supplied by DALO, — installation of 2 Control Display Units(CDU-7000) supplied by DALO, — Removal of an existing VHF/UHF Homing system, — installation of a 406 MHZ capable ELT with navigation system interface.

The tenderer shall provide and install 4 Iridium SATCOM systems, 1 for each aircraft. Initial training of both pilots and maintenance personal covering the basic and customised cockpit upgrades. 3 aircraft have been modified with missionized equipment in several stages at multiple locations: at Bombardier (the Original Equipment Manufacturer), at Field Aviation and at RDAF. The fourth aircraft is a normal customised aircraft. A list of all Service Bulletins pertaining to the RDAF CL-604 aircraft is available during the tender stage. In order for the tenderer to fulfill the contract, it will be necessary for the tenderer to obtain more data than mentioned in the list of all Service Bulletins. DALO expects that it will be necessary for the tenderer to — at least — obtain the data specified in instructions to tenderers, Section 2.1. It is a mandatory requirement, cf. Annex A, Id. No 1, that the tenderer shall be able to obtain all the data that is necessary in order to fulfill the contract. It is solely the tenderer’s responsibility to ensure that the tenderer is capable of obtaining all data needed in order to fulfill the contract. It is a mandatory requirement, cf. Annex A, Id. No 2, that the tenderer shall describe how the tenderer will ensure that the tenderer has all necessary data in order to fulfill the contract. For the contents of this description please see Section VI.3). If this is not described in a way that DALO finds sufficient, the mandatory requirement is not fulfilled (which means that the offer made by the tenderer is non-compliant). In order to demonstrate that the tenderer fulfills Annex A, Id. No 1, the tenderer shall present declarations signed by Bombardier and Field Aviation respectively (as further described in the instructions to tenderers, Section 2.1 and Annex, Id. No 3 and 4). The above-mentioned mandatory requirements imply that the tenderer – before submitting INDO1 – must contact Bombardier and Field Aviation in order to obtain the declarations. The tenderers are encouraged to contact Bombardier and Field Aviation as soon as possible (after this contract notice has been published), as the drafting of the declaration and discussions between the tenderer and Bombardier/Field Aviation regarding the declarations may take some time. Reference is made to Section 2.1 in the instructions to tenderers for further details and as for the agreements that DALO expects that the tenderer — if awarded the contract — shall enter into with Bombardier, Field Aviation and DALO.
