Q & A RFQ 446912

1. We subscribe to various OPIS publications; however, we are unable to locate the OPIS service as listed in the bid. Would you be able to provide a one sample (product/pricing and location) so that we can try to location same?

Unable to provide.

2. Can you provide the average size delivery for Ethanol?

E-85 (mixture of 85% ethanol and balance gasoline) is typically delivered by 8000-gallon tanker truck in 5,000-gallon volumes.

3. Can you provide bid tabulation (bidders/pricing submitted/award) from the current Ethanol contract? Unable to disclose.

4. Can you provide annual volume for Ethanol?

· In the calendar year 2023, the Lab used 41,345 gallons of E-85.

· In fiscal year 2023 (10/2022 – 09/2023) total E85 gallons was 46,581.

5. Bid states BNL is not subject to tax – what exemptions does BNL have?

Regarding taxation of fuels, the Lab, as a federal entity, is subject to pay all federal taxes/fees. This includes, but is not limited to:

a.Federal Excise taxes
b.Federal Oil Spill Recovery Fee
c.Superfund Fee Recovery
d.LUST [Leaking Underground Storage Tank] tax
e.NORA [National Oil heat Research Alliance] fee

The Lab is exempt from state and local taxes. However, it is responsible for the NYS Oil Spill FEE because this is recognized as a fee and not a tax.
