Panel Arrangement for the Hire of Helicopters for DEC South Coast Region

The Department of Environment and Conservation (DEC) requires a Panel Arrangement for the hire of helicopters / rotary winged aircraft (hereafter referred to as “aircraft”) including the provision of a suitably qualified and experienced pilot, for remote air work within the South Coast Region in Western Australia. DEC has a variety of jobs where aircraft availability would be beneficial to service access to remote areas and conduct surveys.
The Panel Arrangement intends to identify available aircraft for work on the south coast: to:
• ensure DEC’s aircraft safety procedures are consistently applied to all aircraft use;
• coordinate aircraft use to benefit operators and DEC where possible; and
• provide available aircraft under one set of conditions and tender process.
Aircraft work may be used in;
• Logistical support and transporting of DEC personnel;
• Transporting of equipment;
• Sling work; and
• Other land management activities as required from time to time by the Customer.
