I negotiated and managed contracts and international agreements to support Coast Guard aircraft. International negotiations were with French government officials, involving international travel. I also negotiated complex performance-based contractual arrangements. One notable contract was a performance-based arrangement called "Power by the Hour" which involved contracting with the engine manufacturer for an expected number of hours before overhaul. This was a solution to HH65 aircraft engines under-performing in mean time between overhaul, forcing the contractor to agree to an industry-wide standard in expected mean time between overhaul for a reasonable price for their engines. The contractor was incentivised to improve engine components (at their own cost) to increase engine life. This arrangement was a breakthrough in establishing cost reductions for helicopter operations.
