In evaluation of the work scope and preparation of the price proposal sub-
mitted as Enclosure (3), this Contractor has given due consideration to the
program schedule and the following proposed ground rules are submitted:
This will be a cooperative program, with both LTV Electrosystems
and the U. S. Navy participating. LTV Electrosystems will provide
the Flight Test Director and navigator/operator for all mission
flights. The U. S. Navy shall furnish the pilot, co-pilot and
remaining crew members. Further, the Navy ground crew will have
maintenance responsibility for the basic aircraft and engines.
LTV Electrosystems will have responsibility for installation and
checkout of mission equipments during flight tests staged from
its Greenville facility. Vendor technical representatives will
be provided by LTV Electrosystems to service the navigation and
Loran systems as required. It is assumed that the Sponsor will
provide such technical services for Government Furnished Equipment
items. Maintenance support of the Navy ground crew, Government
Furnished Equipments and LTV Electrosystems' fabricated boxes is
excluded from this proposal. Such services shall be the subject
of separate negotiations on an "as required" basis.
For purposes of the quotation, it is estimated that 60 test flights
will be required, with approximately 40 flights staged from LTV
Electrosystems, Greenville, Texas, and 20 flights staged from off-
site bases. It is understood that all I.R. film required for the
test program will be supplied as Government Furnished Equipment,
and that aircraft security coverage will be provided by the Navy
during all off-site operations. LTV Electrosystems will provide
the services necessary for the processing and reduction of all
flight data. Maintenance support, exclusive of vendor technical
representatives, of the basic aircraft and its systems during
off-site operations is excluded from this proposal. Such services
shall be the subject of separate negotiations pending definition
of requirements and base of operations.
It is assumed that "Rent Free Usage" of Government-owned facilities
and equipment will be authorized under the provisions of Facilities
Management Contract AF 33(657)-15604.
Period of performance for the Phase III effort is estimated as
3 October 1966 through 30 December 1966. It is requested that an
anticipator:), cost clause be included in the resultant contract
modification to permit cost allowability from the 3 October 1966
start date.

Due to critical contract completion date and requirement for night,
as well as low light level flights, it is deemed mandatory that maxi-
mum use of overtime be expended. Engineering will be programmed for
a 50-hour work week and production for a 70-hour work week.
_ _�
Labor rates used in this proposal are forecasts for the period represented
by the production schedule and are based on plant-wide average rates for the
various functional areas. The overhead and General and Administrative factors
are forecasts for the schedule period and are based on experience through
July, 1966.
You may be assured that this Contractor will continue to utilize its experience
and skills in the field of systems integration to the maximum extent to ac-
complish this unique program with the optimum in schedule and cost economics.
We trust the technical and price data submitted hereby are sufficient for your
early evaluation, and will permit an amendment to Reference (a) contract at an
early date. This Contractor will be pleased to discuss this proposal at your
convenience.
