5. Advise if any special fittings will be required for all locations.

a. Answer: Only fitting required will be those that are needed for your equipment to deliver to a tank truck.

6. Will all fuel be going into only tanker trucks at each site? On the solicitation it states that Tioga, Hodgdon, and Crane fuel will be going int tanker trucks. But Chinquapin and Wawona do not state fuel will be going into tanker trucks. Please advise if all fuel will be only going into tanker trucks.?

a. Answer: All fuel will be going into tanker trucks.

7. On page one of three “Quote/Pricing Schedule,” can you confirm the yearly gallons for Chinquapin is 5,000 gallons, Wawona 3,000 gallons, Tioga Road 3,000 gallons, Crane Flat is 5,000 gallons. Are these the estimate yearly gallons per year. Please advise.

a. Answer: These quantities are approximate and may fluctuate dependent upon need.

8. What is the average delivery of gallons to the locations Chinquapin, Wawona, Tioga Road, Crane Flat and Hodgdon. On average per delivery of gallons to each of these locations. 0- 9500 is extremely hard to get an idea of the number of gallons for each site.

a. Answer: The tank truck is 2,400 gallons and therefore each delivery cannot exceed that number per delivery. The annual delivery anticipated is shown as an approximate amount for each location on the Quote/Price Schedule and is based on historic usage.

9. Effective any day now, all refineries will stop producing “red dyed Carb and the replacement will be “red dyed Renewable.” Can you please advise if you can take Red dyed Renewable instead of Red dyed Carb. There will be no choice because this will be the mandated fuel for the state of California. Price will remain the same unbranded Rack average red dyed diesel. But due to the fact there are not too many posting to the OPIS diesel will remain the reference index until more are posting to the OPIS report. But Red dyed diesel will be phased out and only Red dyed Renewable, will replace red dyed Carb.

Please advise.

a. Answer: The fuel to be delivered will have to be California compliant and therefore if those regulations change the fuel to be delivered shall follow current compliance regulations.
