Page # 1 attached Brookhaven General Specifications Product required is a DSS Which is a red dyed diesel # 2.
Page # 2 attached Brookhaven General Specifications Product code DSS No. 2 oil Page 1 pricing Product is Dyed diesel using # 2 oil pricing?
Page # 3 attached Federal website product DSS is a grade # 2 ULSD product.
Page # 4 attached Federal website product FL2 #2 heating oil product Page # 5 attached Federal website product FS2 # 2 heating oil product Page # 6 attached OPIS JOC – Long Island, NY Has a no 2 oil posting 268.61 – 273.15 Page # 6 attached OPIS JOC – Long Island, NY Has ULS Diesel Dyed 290.70 – 310.70
As you can see the Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel Dyed product (which is product code DSS) is a more expensive product than # 2 heating oil.
Your bid requires a DSS (ULS Diesel dyed ) product using a No. 2 oil price. If you want DSS product then you should be using OPIS JOC ULS Diesel Dyed posting and not no. 2 oil.
