INTRODUCTION 1. Ihe WorId Health Organization, hereinafter referred to as "the Organizationrr, is inviting bids for the provision of aircraft, together with the necessary ground supPort, for the continuation of the aerial spraying activities of the Onchocerciasis Control prografime, hereinafter referred to as ttthe Progranrnert. The aerial operations, hereln- after referred to as'rthe Operationsrt, will be conducted on behalf of the OrganLzatLon on a contractual basis by the successful bidder, hereinafter referred to asrrthe Contractorrr. 2. The Organization gs Executing Agency, acting in cooperation with other International Agencies'and the Governments of seven West African countries - namely, Benin, Ghana, Ivory Coast, Mali, Niger, Togo and Upper Volta, hereinafter referred to asftthe Participating Countriesr'- launched Ln L974 this large-scaIe Progranrme to control the disease, onchocerciasis, in the Volta River Basin area. The Operations will be carried out in the entire Programme area as delineated on the map (Annex I) or its vicinity. fhe Headquarters of the Prograrmne are i.n Ouagadougou, UPPer Vo1ta. 3. It is esEimated that over one million people in the Participating Countries suffer from onchocerciasis and that 70 OOO people are economically blind as a result of their illness. In addition, over one millton hectares of potentially productive agricultural Iand have been deserted by entire conmnunities because of the risk of contracting the disease. 4, The par asite Onchocerca volvulus which causes onchocerciasis is carried by the b lackf ly Simulium da44qlgm, rfiich transmits the disease when biting. O.volvulus may live as long as 15 years in the human host and thus, in the absence of suitable chemotherapy, it will be necessary to continue the control campaign for at least 20 years to ensure that, when blackfly control operations cease, human reservoirs of the disease witl no longer exist. S.damnosum breeds in water courses and Ehe f1y lays its eggs on vegetation and rocks at water level in rapids, waterfalls and other natural or man-made, fast flowing or turbulent sEretches of water. Such sites are nornrally identifiable from the air. I,ihen the eggs hatch, the emerging larvae remain in these breeding sites atEached to any suitable substrate. The duration of the larval stage is about seven days. 5. At present the only feasible method of prevenEing further onchocerciasis transmissi.on is to attack the Simulium vector in it.s larval stage. Because of the large distances involved and the general inaccessibility of the Sing_llgm breeding sites from the ground, aircraft with specialized equipment are used to make applications of a biodegradable insecEicide to the rivers in such a manner that the larvae are exposed to the insecElcide as it is carried downsEream. the effective lethal dose to S.damnosum larvae of the insecticide currently in use is O.O5 ppm for a period of 10 mi.nutes, the quantities applied being calculaEed on the basis of waEer discharge rates. 6. During, or shorEly after the wet season (May to October) when the ri.vers are full of water, it has been found that treatment is effective if made by spot application of the larviclde as a mass rather than employing distribution methods. At this time, the fl-ow of water is sufficlent to mlx and distribuEe the insecticide and Eo carry it an effective distance downstream and consequently application points are fewer, one application often being sufficient on certain rivers for stretches up to 50 kms. The quantities applied Ehroughout this period vary between one and 25 litres for helicopter and may exceed lOO litres for fixed-wing for particular release points. I -The United Nations Development Progranrne (UNDP), the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the International Bank for ReconstrucEion and Development (IBRD). 27 . In the dry season (November to April), when the river levels are low, the flow of water is generally not strong enough to mix and distribute the insecticide. Different application equipment and methods have then to be used to achieve a satisfactory distribuEion of the insecticide. A band of insecticide, stretching from bank to bank, has been found to be effecEive and ensures that all parts of the breeding site dovmstream receive treatment. At some particularly difficult breeding sites, two or three such bands of insecticide may be required. In the dry season, therefore, treatment involves careful, precision placement and distribution of insecticide. The release of insecticide is at more frequent. intervals and at particularly 1ow water, can be up to 20 over a stretch of one kilometre, with breeding sites having to be treated individually. The quantity applied at this time of year for each release point is often as low as 0.1 litre especially !*ren treatment is done by helicopter. 8. Initially, the Simulium control programne is devoted to intensive weekly treatment of the knovm breeding sites as determined by entomological surveys. Following the period of intensive control measures, emphasis is placed on surveillance of treated areas and insecticide application may then be restricted to areas utrich become reinfested. 9. Following a phased build-up of operations from 1975 onwards, Ehe complete Progranrne area shown on the map (Annex I) has been under control since the beginning of 1979. The total length of river systems now maintained under regular surveillance and treatment is in the order of 18 OOO krns. 10. Helicopters are used for making the low-Ieve1 insecticide applications to narrow, sinuous, small rivers and streams, r,*rich may be partly concealed by vegetation, as well as larger rivers in the dry season. Fixed-wing aircraft are used to make low-leve1 applications (l to 25 metres) to the main rivers of varying widths and generally having trees andfor scrub on either side. The fixed-wing aircraft should be capable of flight at low speeds along water courses, where space may be restricted, and be sufficiently stable to alIow the release of insecticide at precisely selected point.s. Both types of aircraft will be used on occasion for the transporfation of staff and equipment and for surveys and reconnaissance. 11. 411 aircraft currently operate from two main bases at Bobo-Dioulasso, Upper Volta, and Tamale, Ghana, although these may change according to Progranune requirements. In the course of operations, helicopters frequent.ly land in remote areas where there has been little or no ground preparation. In the dry season, even on prepared ground, there are often extreme dust conditions. Fixed-wing aircraft also use airstrips which lack ground support facilities. B. AIRCRAFT SPECIFICATIONS General t (a) L2.

The Contractor shall be present to witness and approve all such refilling operatlons. 66. In mission flying, all aircraft are normally refuelled from drums and in thts respect a1l aircraft must be provided with non-manual fuel pumps fitted with high quality filters. The filters must be of an approved type such as the PUROLATOR and C,O-NO-GO. 67. The OrganizatLon sha1l also provide fuel for locaI tesE and maintenance flights undertaken at the aircraft bases. Ttre Contractor sha1l reimburse the OrganizatLon for fuel used on all other non-revenue flights, a non-revenue flight being any flight undertaken outside the missions prepared i-n association with the Director. A flight report, giving details of the non-revenue flighE, will be made by the pilot and fuel used will be calculat,ed at a muEually accepted rate per hour and reimbursed to the Organization at an agreed average price. 68. The Contractor shall be responsible for the provision of all lubricants used. J RESEARCH AND EVALUATION 69. An important part of the Progranme acEivit.ies is concerned with research into new insecticide formulations for Simulium control and investigations into possible alternat- ive methods of insecticide application. In additlon, an extensl-ve evaluation is carried out to monitor the effects of insecticide applications on Simulium populations and on other, non-targeE, organisms. The Contractor shal1 be required to carry out the flying component of the research and evaluation progranrne, including the testing of new insecticide formulations and applicaEion equlpment, and Ehe transporE of personnel and equipment within Ehe terms of the Contract. 10 70.

Itre Contractor shall appolnt a manager of high calibre to assume responsibility for carrying out the aerial operations on his behalf. This Particutar Position on the part of the Contractor affords the main operational link between the Contractor and the Organization in the execution of the aerial contract and it is, therefore, hlghly important that a man of the right calibre is selecLed. The manager must be resident in the Prograrmne area and be delegated sufficient authority to enable him to take decisions and act without reference on operational matters to the Contractor's head- quarters. He must have proven leadership qualities with Ehe personality and auEhoritative disposition to cormand respect from Ehe staff he controls. He must have the ability to exercise diplomacy and tact. His qualifications should basically be in management, not necessarily aviation, and hls experience and curriculum vitae should show Proven ability to carry out large projecEs and control personnel engaged therein, preferably in developtng areas. His objective should be to secure the success of the Operations as well as maintaining the ContracEor's interesEs.

Any aircraft or item of equiprnent which may be out of operation for any reason must be repaired inrnediately or be replaced within a maximum of seven days by an acceptable substitute et no additional cost in order that there be no inEerruption in scheduled activities. The importance of this cannot be overstressed as any appreclable lapse in the treatment schedules could have serious consequences and jeopardize the success of the I'rhole operation. In the event of an aircraft continuing non-oPerational(e.g. breakdown, equipment not functioning or missing), the number of guaranteed flight hours will be reduced on a prorata basis for each day of delay after initial seven days. Beyond a subsequent seven day non-operational period, (i.e. 14 days from date of aircraft going out of service) a further penalty of US $2 OOO (two thousand United States Dollars) per aircraft per day shall also be imposed. However, the imposition of this latter penalty could be waived by the Organization if the Contractor's other atrcraft were able to perform the functions of the non-operational aircrafE to the satisfaction of the Director, it being understood that such a waiver shal1 not continue beyond a maximum period of one month from date aircraft went out of service. In the event of a helicopEet Eemporarily replacing a fixed-wing aircraft, the hourly rate payable for the period of replacement will be that applicable to fixed-wing aircraft. 19 138. If, as a result of negligence on the part of the Contractor's personnel, or as a result of malfunction of his equipment, treatment missions are not carried out to t,he satisfaction of the Director, the Contractor will be required to repeat these mlssions at his own expense, or the Organization may make such arrangements as it sees fit to ensure the satisfactory execution of the treatment missions, including, at the Organization's sole discretion, forfeiture and liquidation of the Performance Bond.
