Coast-watch contract renewal
Hi chaps, anyone know when the current contract expires with Cobham?
SN |
2020 from memory
|
OK they wont be talking about renewing then for at least another 2-3 years.

Looks like they will get the amsa as we'll. they converted all the planes for it that they need. That's awarded next month.
Cheers |
Any news of who won yet?

I hear that Jetgo are on the shortlist with 4 modified Legacy Jets
|
Was told by head amsa man that will be awarded this month hold up with missing Malaysia flight. Suspect this week. Not looking good for pearl. Cobham leading as I was told
|
Makes sense to amalgamate both contracts and change the name [with Customs boats etc] and call it the Australian Coast Guard....:hmm:
|
Whoever gets it's the AMSA contract will hopefully base sufficient number of aircraft on the east coast where the majority of AMSA's searches take place. Having 1 aircraft in CS and ML with the occasional aicraft in Brisbane just doesn't cut it. A min of 6 (ideally 7) aircraft are really required to do the job.
|
The the $350K standing charge per base per month?
|
It's up to amsa for the bases not the contractor. Pearl winter to base an aircraft in Brisbane and other places amsa refused
|
yr right, Your comment regarding Brisbane is interesting after having read this...
"AMSA does not intend to specify the number and location of bases. Each tenderer will need to determine the number and location of the bases it proposes, having regard to the historical search data provided, with the aim being to provide a service to reach the maximum number of potential incident locations in the minimum time. As such, at least half of the bases are likely to be on the east coast (east coast is defined as locations within the ACT, NSW, QLD, TAS and VIC); as the plot of historical searches shows, this is where the majority of incidents are likely to occur" https://www.amsa.gov.au/about-amsa/t...nuary_2013.pdf |
That's the new contract not the old. Amsa set the original contract locations.
|
Which leaves you wondering how many aircraft cobham have put up with ample dashes available and the lack of the 328 that pearl have. Contract I was to be done this month.
|
yr right,
This week is now 2 weeks ago, seems your source is exactly what this forum is a rumour. |
It's a contract. The fella that told me is quite high up in the scheme of things. Woop woop see what happens who knows. Maybe it has already been done and not released. Was told it was held back due to the 777 going missing if you know your stuff you would have already known it was suppose to have been done by now.
|
Won't be long.
|
Still no announcements? Very slow process by the sounds of it.
|
Just waiting on Mr Amann to get his tender in.
|
Now now Stationair that':}:}s just naughty! :D
At least the tender required respondents to have an AOC with the selected aircraft on it this time:E |
