The contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, and supervision required to transport cargo (payloads of 2,100 and 3,000, or 6,000 pounds) and personnel to remote NWS sites. Due to the geographic isolation of these assets, the contractor must maintain the specialized capability to operate within the extreme environment of the Canadian Arctic and execute take-off and landing maneuvers on the unimproved surfaces found at various radar sites identified in the Performance Work Statement (PWS).
