Local Laws and/or Mandates

The State makes no guarantee that the filed requirements submitted by Authorized Users are in compliance with any applicable local laws or mandates regarding fuel types, such as the New York City Biodiesel Mandate.

During the term of this Contract, Authorized Users and Contractor will share responsibility for ensuring and maintaining compliance with any applicable local laws or mandates regarding fuel types.

Fill and Vent Requirements

Authorized Users must ensure that fill and vent equipment adequately meet NYS Standards. Contractor has the responsibility of reporting faulty equipment to the end users and the appropriate NYS regulatory agencies.

GROUP 05500 AWARD 23417 Fuel Oil, Heating (#2, Kerosene and Bioheating Fuel) PAGE 10

Contractor’s delivery trucks MUST BE EQUIPPED WITH METERS, except for motor transports, to accurately measure quantities delivered. Metered deliveries must be accompanied by a delivery ticket showing brand or grade and number of gallons delivered.

Supplementing Clauses 31 and 32 of Appendix B, General Specifications for Procurement Contracts, orders will call for Delivery within a specified number of hours after date of order. As much time as possible will be allowed the Contractor for making deliveries; however, the Contractor shall be able to make bulk deliveries within forty-eight (48) hours after receipt of order.

Contractor must be prepared, at all times, to make Prompt Delivery as ordered. In State declared emergencies, fuel must be delivered within eight (8) to twelve (12) hours of notification. Contractors must be prepared to deliver in a timely manner, on a one-time basis per Authorized User tank, that amount of fuel oil necessary to fill subject tanks for the purpose of tank testing conducted by the Authorized User at various locations providing minimum order requirements are met. (See “MINIMUM ORDER SIZE” clause).

Normal Deliveries are considered to be Monday thru Friday. Saturday/Sunday Deliveries are to be made on an emergency basis (and not a regular basis) ONLY, unless agreed upon by both Authorized User and Contractor.

Authorized Users are responsible for making certain that the Delivery site is made ready for proper Delivery by the Contractor. Failure of the Authorized User to make appropriate arrangements preventing Delivery of Product upon Contractor’s arrival at Delivery site may result in a charge to the Authorized User for the Contractor’s transportation costs for that particular trip. Authorized Users should also make certain that receiving personnel are available at time of Delivery.

Authorized Users should also refer to CL-804 dated July 7, 2014 as they are responsible for the implementation of monitoring programs to ensure compliance by supplier with these specification requirements. Circular Letters (CL) are found on the OGS website under Announcements.

Topping Off Tanks

Authorized User requests to top-off tanks for testing purposes must be honored as described elsewhere herein. The requesting Authorized User may be required to sign a waiver of liability and responsibility on behalf of the Contractor.

Contractor must maintain service facilities and have trained personnel qualified to service the Product furnished at the using Authorized User within 48 hours.

Winter Blend Requirements

Contractors of bioblends, at their option, may provide a winter blend upon Authorized User request.

Invoice for winter blend will show separate pricing for Bioblends and Kerosene as necessary. The price for Bioblends, shall be the Contract price and the price for Kerosene but the Kerosene shall be no greater than the Contractor’s prevailing price for Kerosene (or, if applicable, Contractor’s awarded price for Kerosene). Authorized User(s) shall obtain price quote for Kerosene prior to ordering and the State reserves the right to determine if price is reasonable. If agreement on price cannot be obtained, Authorized Users(s) shall follow purchasing guidelines to purchase winter blend in the open market. If additives rather than Kerosene are used to provide winter protection, the Contractor is allowed to charge market price for additives, and as with Kerosene, list price as a separate line item on invoice, with agreement between the Authorized User and the Contractor.

Environment Reporting Requirements

Certain customers using the State fuel oil contract must provide reports regarding the emissions from their fuel oil heating plants. At the customers’ request, the Contractor will be required to provide written documentation for each Delivery to prove that the fuel delivered is in compliance with EPA standards in effect for the type of fuel delivered to the customer under the State fuel oil contract. OGS Procurement

GROUP 05500 AWARD 23417 Fuel Oil, Heating (#2, Kerosene and Bioheating Fuel) PAGE 11

Services has provided a fuel Supplier Certificate (see Section 3.2), which can be used for this purpose.

Contractors can use another form of reporting (such as Bill of Lading/Delivery Ticket) providing the following information is included:

FOR DISTILLATE OIL:

1) Supplier's name and address

2) The date/deliveries covered by the certificate

3) The type of fuel delivered

4) Sulfur content of the fuel

5) Heating value (BTU)

6) A signed statement that the fuel complies with ASTM D396-Standard Specifications for fuel oil or latest revision thereof

7) Location of the oil when tested

8) Test method used to determine the sulfur content of the oil

Biodiesel Usage Considerations

There are many positive benefits attributed to the use of Biodiesel as compared to normal solely petroleum-based fuel. The most mentioned are decreased emissions of various pollutants, reduced reliance on uncertain petro fuel sources, renewable fuel source and safety in handling. However, there are also a number of properties of Biodiesel that potentially impact equipment, storage and OEM warranty coverage. These considerations are detailed below.

Fuel Filters: Fuel filters on the system should be checked frequently upon initial Biodiesel blend use and changed as necessary. Biodiesel blends have excellent solvent properties and may affect cellulosic filters due to solubility of resin and binders used in those filters. Glass fiber-based filters manufactured without the use of binders are probably not affected.

Sediment: Use of No. 2 fuel can leave a deposit in the bottom of fueling lines, tanks, and delivery systems over time. The use of Biodiesel blends can dissolve this sediment and result in the need to change filters more frequently when first using Biodiesel blends until the whole system has been cleaned of the deposits left by the petroleum based No. 2 fuel.

Solvent Properties: Biodiesel blends are an excellent solvent. They can, if left on a painted surface long enough, dissolve certain types of paints. Therefore, it is recommended to wipe any Biodiesel blend spills from painted surfaces immediately. In addition, Biodiesel blends can soften and degrade certain types of elastomers and natural rubbers over time. These materials may be used in fuel systems. OEM's of systems should be contacted for specific information and concerns in this area.

Spontaneous Combustion: Biodiesel is made from vegetable oils and/or animal fats which can oxidize and degrade over time. The oxidizing process can produce heat. In certain environments a pile of oil-soaked rags can become hot enough to result in a spontaneous fire. Biodiesel-soaked rags should be stored in a safety can or dried individually to avoid the potential for spontaneous combustion.

Storage: All fuels have a shelf life. This is also true with Biodiesel and Biodiesel blends. Available data indicate that Biodiesel blends should be used within six months of manufacture. Fuels determined to have a Total Acid Number (by ASTM D664 or latest revision thereof) of greater than 0.80 KOH/g are not recommended for use.

OEM Considerations: BEFORE deciding to use Biodiesel, prospective users should make sure they have checked with the manufacturers of their equipment for considerations and concerns related to that usage.

FURTHER INFORMATION: Additional information regarding Biodiesel can also be obtained from Clean Fuels Alliance America at (800) 841-5849 or at their website at: https://cleanfuels.org/faq/

Price

Prices quoted shall be billed gross gallons, F.O.B. Authorized User storage tanks. Prices quoted shall include all applicable customs, taxes (e.g., Superfund), license and research fees (e.g. NORA), and surcharges. Contract prices must be expressed in U.S. currency and shall be submitted to four (4) decimal places (priced in dollars per gallon).

Pricing for Contract purchases shall be based on the pricing in effect at the time the Authorized User places the order (Prompt Will-Call). Authorized Users that are on automatic Delivery shall be priced on the day of Delivery, unless the Authorized User requests a Delivery. The price shall then reflect the day of the order.

Pricing shall reflect the day of Delivery for orders placed by the Authorized User that go beyond the guaranteed Delivery timeframe of 48 (forty-eight) hours. For example, the Authorized User orders 500 gallons of fuel oil on Wednesday, and requests that the Delivery be made on the following Tuesday.

For situations where an Authorized User wants to place an order for an unusually large volume of fuel (e.g., 40,000 gallons or more than a truck load, or Delivering over a period of time), the Contractor and Authorized User should contact OGS Procurement Services. OGS’s intent is for all parties to have the same expectations for Delivery and price.

Truck Delivery ticket volumes and Authorized User's gauged volumes must agree within a tolerance of 0.5% of the total Delivered volume for Delivery volumes greater than 500 gallons and up to 1% for Delivery volumes less than or equal to 500 gallons. If the volume difference exceeds the tolerance level, the Authorized User's measured volume, if available, will be used for invoice payment. Authorized Users reserve the right to reject “rogue” trucks which have been identified as having repeated meter inaccuracies. Trucks without sealed and calibrated meters will not be permissible for deliveries.

It shall be the Contractor's responsibility to satisfy Authorized User requirements by furnishing blended product when called for during the time period indicated in the Contract.

Any special allowances were not included in the Bid price, as they could be considered in evaluating Bids. However, if the Contractor extends such allowances during the term of the Contract to Federal, State, Local Governments or to commercial users in the normal course of doing business, New York State requires that such allowances will also be available to the State in the maximum amount extended to others who Contract to purchase fuel oil under similar contractual terms and conditions.

Contract prices shall be firm except that price revisions will be permitted in accordance with Section 3.8, Price Adjustment/Revisions set forth in this Contract and with respect to certain taxes and duties as follows:

1. “After-imposed tax” means any new or increased Federal, State and local excise tax or duty, except social security or other employment taxes, on fuel oil purchased under any Contract to be awarded hereunder which the Contractor is required to pay or bear the burden of as the result of legislative, judicial, or administrative action taking effect after the date of Contract award.

2. “After-relieved tax” means any amount of Federal, State and local excise tax or duty, except social security or other employment taxes, that would otherwise have been payable on fuel purchased under any Contract to be awarded hereunder which the Contractor is not required to pay or bear the burden of, or for which the Contractor obtains a refund or drawback, as the result of legislative, judicial or administrative action taking effect after the date of Contract award.

3. The Contract price shall include all applicable Federal, State, Local taxes and duties as stated in Appendix B Section 8 “Taxes” included with this Contract.

4. The State of New York and its political subdivisions are exempt from New York State and local sales taxes and federal excise taxes.

GROUP 05500 AWARD 23417 Fuel Oil, Heating (#2, Kerosene and Bioheating Fuel) PAGE 13

5. The price for fuel oil under this Contract to be awarded hereunder shall be increased by the amount of any after-imposed tax, unless the legislative, judicial or administrative act says otherwise, if the Contractor states in writing that such Contract price does not include any contingency for such after-imposed tax. Such increase shall be prospective only and becomes effective upon such written notice and on the effective date of the next schedule price revision.

6. The price for fuel oil under this Contract to be awarded hereunder shall be decreased by the amount of any after-relieved tax. Such decrease shall be effective when realized or by no later than the next scheduled price revision.

7. The Contractor shall promptly notify the Procurement Services Contract Management Specialist of all matters relating to any excise tax or duty that reasonably may be expected to result in either an increase or decrease in the Contract price for fuel thirty days (30) prior to adding to invoices.

Contractor’s pricing will be based on the established OPIS Posting Location designated in Attachment 1 – Pricing.

Should postings differ from current description and/or format, a posting determined by the Commissioner in his/her sole discretion to be most reflective of market conditions will be used.

To follow are three historic examples that have occurred.

Example 1 from April 2016 Please be advised that as of April 22, 2016, the weekly fuel price adjustments for Buffalo Kerosene will be based solely on the low posting published in OPIS’s Oil Price Daily, as was the basis of the original bid (June 19, 2014) and award (November 20, 2014), due to inconsistent reporting of both a high and a low Posted Price.

Example 2 from February 2016 Please be advised that as of January 29, 2016, the weekly fuel price adjustments for Utica Kerosene will be based solely on the low posting published in OPIS’s Oil Price Daily, as was the basis of the original Bid (June 19, 2014) and award (November 20, 2014), due to inconsistent reporting of both a high and a low Posted Price.

Example 3 from March 2022 As per the terms and conditions of the Contract (Section 3.7.2 Calculation Change or Substitution), please be advised that as of March 11, 2022, the weekly fuel price adjustments for Soybean Oil will be based on the simple average of the high and low asking price of soybean oil (region Illinois) found in the immediately preceding published Friday USDA AMS 3511 report.

Price Adjustments/Revisions

Contract prices for fuel grades shall be firm except that price revisions will be permitted in accordance with the following procedures:

Price revisions (increases or decreases) to the original Contract price shall be based on prices posted in the OPIS Oil Price Daily every Thursday. The Contractor shall use the reference as designated in Attachment 1 - Pricing on a per Item basis. The Contractor is restricted to the postings as indicated in Attachment 1 ONLY. Selection of alternate listings will NOT be permitted.

GROUP 05500 AWARD 23417 Fuel Oil, Heating (#2, Kerosene and Bioheating Fuel) PAGE 15

The low price shown in the OPIS Oil Price Daily postings will be used to compute price revisions during the Contract period. Procurement Services will compute any price revisions by determining the difference between the Posted Price on February 27, 2025, and the Posted Price on every Thursday during the contract period beginning with the OPIS Oil Price Daily the Thursday immediately preceding the Contract start date. If the OPIS Oil Price Daily is not posted on Thursday, the previous Business Day’s posting in which the specified prices are available will be utilized. Base prices are listed in this Contract, for each reference. The term “Posting Day” or “Posted Price” as used throughout the Contract and any resulting Contract refers to the actual day the prices are posted.

Should postings become unavailable or differ from current descriptions and/or format, a posting determined, by the Commissioner, in his or her sole discretions, to be most reflective of market conditions will be used. Corrections to prices in the OPIS Oil Price Daily will be considered only when caused by a typographical or clerical error on the part of said service provider.

Should the weekly price revision cycle not provide adequate price adjustments, because of rapid changes in worldwide petroleum prices, the State reserves the right to increase the frequency of the price revisions to a basis that best reflects market conditions. For example, a possible basis could utilize Monday’s Daily OPIS publication for Tuesday through Thursday prices and weekend prices would continue with Thursday’s OPIS Daily publication for Friday through Monday.

The following clauses shall apply to all price adjustments under this Contract:

(1) Price increases are limited to changes in the OPIS Posting Location as listed in Section 3.7 – OPIS Posting Locations. Increases in Contract costs or prices to compensate for other increases in the cost of doing business, regardless of the cause or nature of such costs of the Contractor, will not be allowed during the Contract period.

(2) Price adjustments will continue using the same method if the Contract is extended or renewed.

(3) The Contract price and any adjustments will only be carried out to four (4) decimal places (priced in dollars per gallon).

A. Living Wage. An Authorized User subject to a local law establishing a “living wage,” such as Section 6-109 of the New York City Administrative Code, is required to ensure the Contractor sought to be hired complies with such local law. If the pay rate(s) for a job title(s) is less than the local law “living wage,” then the Authorized User subject to such local law cannot use this Contract for such job title(s). Local laws, however, are not a term and condition of the OGS contract.

Ordering

Purchase Orders shall be made in accordance with the terms set forth in Appendix B Purchase Orders.

Authorized Users may submit orders over the phone, and, if available, may submit orders electronically via web-based ordering, e-mail, or facsimile at any time. Orders submitted shall be deemed received by Contractor on the date submitted.

All orders shall reference Contract number, requisition, and/or Purchase Order number (if applicable).

Upon Contractor’s receipt of an order, confirmation is to be provided to the Authorized User electronically or via facsimile. Order confirmation should be sufficiently detailed, and include, at a minimum, purchase price, date of order, delivery information (if applicable), Authorized User name, and sales representative (if applicable).

Purchasing Card Orders

If the Contractor accepts orders using the State’s Purchasing Card (see Appendix B, Purchasing Card), also referred to as the Procurement Card, the Contractor shall not charge or bill the Authorized User for any additional charges related to the use of the Purchasing Card, including but not limited to processing charges, surcharges or other fees.

Contractor shall indicate if they will accept the New York State Procurement Card. For all purchases executed using a New York State Procurement Card, Contractor shall provide an itemized receipt with each delivery.

Minimum Order

Minimum Delivery shall be 150 gallons to each Delivery location (site) as determined by the Delivery Schedule. Minimum order for Motor Transport deliveries shall be 5,500 gallons. Deliveries under 150 gallons are at the Contractor’s option, except for tank top-offs for testing.

All deliveries requested by an Authorized User of less than the minimum order size, including tank top-offs for tank testing, shall qualify for Contract pricing. The following tiered schedule may be utilized by the Contractor:

Determination for total gross tank capacity shall include all manifolded tanks. All locations granted a request from the Contractor for “automatic replenishment” per Section 3.17, shall be exempt from minimum order requirements, including other factors out of the control of Authorized Users (e.g., short filling, mechanical issues, inadequate fuel supply). In no case shall a surcharge be applied to a location while on “automatic replenishment.”

If delivering to same property, but to separate tanks, minimum delivery charge will only be applicable if total delivery to property is less than minimum order size.

Invoicing and Payment

Invoicing and payment shall be made in accordance with the terms set forth in Appendix B, Contract Invoicing.

The Contractor is required to provide the Authorized User with one invoice for each Purchase Order at the time of Delivery. The invoice must include detailed line item information to allow Authorized Users to verify that pricing at point of receipt matches the Contract price on the original date of order. At a minimum, the following fields must be included on each invoice:

• Contractor Name

• Contractor Billing Address

• Contractor Federal ID Number

• NYS Vendor ID Number

• Account Number

• NYS Contract Number

• Name of Authorized User indicated on the Purchase Order

• NYS Agency Unit ID (if applicable)

• Authorized User’s Purchase Order Number

• Order Date

• Invoice Date

• Invoice Number

• Invoice Amount

• Product Descriptions

• Unit Price

• Quantity

• Unit of Measure

• Dates of Service/Delivery (if applicable)

Cost centers or branch offices within an Authorized User may require separate invoicing as specified by each Authorized User. The Contractor's billing system shall be flexible enough to meet the needs of varying ordering systems in use by different Authorized Users. Visit the following link for further guidance for vendors on invoicing: https://bsc.ogs.ny.gov/nys-vendors

Product Delivery

Delivery of all Contract Products shall be made in accordance with Appendix B, Product Delivery and Shipping/Receipt of Product.

Delivery shall be made as specified and in accordance with instructions furnished with each order, unless otherwise directed in writing. Contractor must be prepared, at all times, to make Prompt Delivery, but the time shall never exceed forty-eight (48) hours. In State declared emergencies, fuel must be delivered within eight (8) to twelve (12) hours of notification. Should there be an after-hours or weekend emergency or should Authorized User run out of fuel oil at any time creating an emergency situation, the Contractor shall be required to provide product within four (4) hours of a telephone call from the Authorized User.

Delivery shall be made in accordance with instructions on the Purchase Order from each Authorized User. If there is a discrepancy between the Purchase Order and what is listed on the Contract, it is the Contractor’s obligation to seek clarification from the ordering Authorized User and, if applicable, from OGS, Procurement Services. On occasion, to prevent fuel run outs during storms or other emergency situations, the Contractor must allow Authorized Users the flexibility to manually schedule deliveries to top-off tank inventories. Normal Deliveries are considered to be Monday thru Friday (8:00 am - 5:00 pm).

Saturday/Sunday Deliveries are not standard and are to be made on an emergency basis (and not a regular basis) ONLY, unless mutually agreed upon between the Contractor and Authorized User, or if a

GROUP 05500 AWARD 23417 Fuel Oil, Heating (#2, Kerosene and Bioheating Fuel) PAGE 18 run out is imminent before the next normal Delivery day. Delivery of heating oil should give first priority to “Human Needs Customers”.

Failure to make prompt Delivery may result in an Authorized User’s submission of a Contract Performance Report to OGS. Per Appendix B, Section 48(a), (d) and (e), the Authorized User shall have the right to purchase sufficient heating fuel on the open market to fill such tank or tanks and to charge any increase in price paid over the current Contract price to the account of the Contractor.

Authorized Users shall be responsible for ensuring that tanks are accessible to the Contractor.

Authorized Users should also make certain that receiving personnel are available at time of delivery.

Failure of the Authorized User to make appropriate Delivery arrangements, which prevents the Delivery of product upon Contractor’s arrival at Delivery site, may result in a charge to the Authorized User for the Contractor’s transportation costs. The Contractor must notify the Authorized User of the attempted Delivery prior to charging for any future Delivery attempts for the same circumstance. The Contractor must state the amount that would be charged for the direct cost of this subsequent Delivery attempt and provide supporting documentation that substantiates the direct cost for the failed Delivery at the fault of the Authorized User. The Authorized User must agree in writing to any such costs for subsequent Delivery attempts, prior to the Contractor making the subsequent Delivery. At no time should a charge be applied to an Authorized User for an attempted Delivery that failed at no fault of their own.

Method of Delivery

TW: Delivery by tank wagon into storage tanks of less than 5,500 gallons at one time into one tank.

MT: Minimum delivery of 5,500 gallons to one or more tanks from one fixed location of the Delivery vehicle.

All such deliveries shall first be recorded directly into the transporting vehicle.

Fuel oil tank wagon deliveries shall be delivered by tank wagons used exclusively for transporting No. 2 biofuels.

Automatic Replenishment

Requests for automatic replenishment are preferred in WRITING from an Authorized User but may be required by the Contractor. A Contractor shall provide written notification back to any Authorized User's request for automatic replenishment on any tank with a total gross capacity equal to or greater than 375 gallons. Automatic replenishment for tank capacities less than 375 gallons will be at the Contractor’s option and may be subject to a minimum order charge (see Section 3.13, Minimum Order).

Determination for total gross tank capacity shall include all manifolded tanks. The Contractor shall maintain a record of the estimated consumption of Biodiesel and Kerosene, as the case may be using the “degree day” or equivalent method and shall replenish the Authorized User’s tank or tanks without further notice from the Authorized User, whenever necessary to ensure an adequate supply at all times.

A “degree day” compares the mean (the average of the high and low) outdoor temperatures recorded for a location to a standard temperature, usually 65° Fahrenheit (F) in the United States.

If the Contractor, after having accepted the request from the Authorized User, permits the level of the fuel to fall below the percentages of the total capacity of the Authorized User’s tank or tanks indicated in the following table, and does not meet the requirement to deliver on an emergency basis within four (4) hours, the Authorized User shall have the right to purchase sufficient fuel on the open market to fill such tank or tanks and to charge any increase in price paid over the current Contract price to the account of the Contractor. The Contractor shall permit another vendor to supply fuel oil into any Contractor-owned tank(s) if applicable and shall not hold the Authorized User or the other supplying source liable in any way for said Delivery.
