Re: quote for transportation of personnel and equipment to Supai Scott,
Thank you for speaking with me.
I have prepared this estimate based on the use of an AS350B3e. This aircraft should support planned loads of approximately 1,100 pounds. For the heavier unit you described, we should schedule that lift first thing in the morning to take advantage of cooler temperatures. With earlymorning conditions and a light fuel load, we should be able to lift approximately 1,800 pounds. This project estimate is based on several planning assumptions. We can quote the flight time for round trips to Supai from Grand Canyon Airport. For 20 days of morning and evening personnel transport, I estimate approximately 32 flight hours. At $2,800 per hour(our on demand charer rate is $2,935.00 per hour) , the total is $89,600. I estimated 15-minute turns from Long Mesa to the school yard and back to Long Mesa, with 10 trips per day over 3 days to mobilize into the village and 1 day to demobilize out. We estimate 15 total hours for mobilization and demobilization, for a total of $42,000.00. An additional external load charge of $260 per hour applies to cover the cost of maintaining the required equipment during external load operations. We will provide all nets and slings. If specialty slings are required, they must either be provided or added at an additional cost. In addition, the new daily landing fee is $3,500 per day. Over an estimated 20 days, this adds $70,000.00 to the quote.
I do not have visibility into your previous project, but that information may provide a more accurate picture of actual flight time. There may also be some savings during mobilization and demobilization, as crew movement will be included in that time. When a fuel truck is needed, we can provide one at a rate of $3.30 per mile. I will quote for 4 round trips from our base to Long Mesa. If the truck can remain in a secure location instead of being driven back and forth each day, the on-site rate is $500.00 per day. If ground personnel are required, the charge is $205 per person per day.
