1.3 OTHER PRICING

Other Pricing shall apply to Sections 1.3.1 through 1.3.4 and shall be incorporated into the contract as Attachment 4, Other Pricing.

1.3.1 ADDITIONAL SAMPLING

Upon request by the Government, the Contractor shall sample their LNG product in accordance with Attachment 2, NASA Modified Grade A Specifications-LNG. The sample shall be analyzed for all constituents listed. This applies to MSFC CLIN 1 only.

1.3.2 DEMURRAGE

The Government will pay the Contractor demurrage for all delays in unloading propellant delivery tankers in excess of 4 hours after arrival and check-in at place of delivery if such delay is without the fault or negligence of the Contractor and is not caused by the failure of the Contractor's equipment. If more than one tanker is scheduled for the same arrival time, demurrage charges shall begin 4 hours after the arrival time of the last tanker in the group, and end at the release of the last tanker in the group. The demurrage charge shall be paid to the Contractor per quarter-hour or fraction thereof. No demurrage charges shall be billed or paid for the loading of any propellant delivery tankers. If the free time has been exceeded, the driver, upon leaving the site, shall leave the consignee written documentation showing the date, time of arrival, time of departure, cause of delay, if known, and information identifying the shipment.

The driver shall sign such documentation and shall request the consignee to do likewise. A copy thereof, as proof of delay, shall accompany all invoices for demurrage. The Contractor shall ensure that all deliveries from a multi-source operation shall be provided at the lowest overall cost to the Government.

(End of clause)

1.3.3 EMERGENCY DELIVERY

The Government will provide notice prior to requiring delivery of ordered product as set forth in Attachment 1, Statement of Work. For deliveries with less than 48 hours’ notice, an emergency delivery charge per tanker shall apply. The Contractor may, but is not obligated to, deliver when provided with less than 24 hours’ notice from the Government.

(End of clause)

1.3.4 INABILITY TO ACCEPT DELIVERY

When the Contractor makes a delivery to a destination and the delivery conveyance cannot be accepted due to storage tank problems or for other reasons out of control of the receiving organization, and through no fault of the Contractor, product charges will not be incurred;

however, transportation charges will be based on the round-trip miles at the transportation price per mile specified in this Section. The round trip mileage shall originate at the primary production facility identified in Attachment 3, Capability Form. If a delivery is cancelled by the Government en route to the delivery location, the roundtrip mileage will be calculated based on the mileage incurred until the en route cancellation takes place. If the quantity of LNG to be delivered is a partial load, which is equal to or less than 8,000 gallons, the Government will pay the standard unit price for the quantity of LNG accepted, plus a transportation cost per mile for the round-trip. Mileage will be based on a current internet mapping tool.

(End of clause)

1.4 PERFORMANCE SPECIFICATION

SECTION 2 CONTRACT CLAUSES

2.1 ADDENDUM TO FAR 52.212-4 CONTRACT TERMS AND CONDITIONS–

COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS AND COMMERCIAL SERVICES: TAILORED

PARAGRAPHS

Paragraph (f) is tailored to add the following paragraph:

(2) When the Contractor has an approved “excusable delay” by the Contracting Officer, the Contractor shall not be liable to cover any difference in price between the CLIN Price identified in Section 1.2 Liquefied Natural Gas Product Unit Price and any replacement product price awarded to any another Contractor for the CLIN for that location.

Paragraph (g) is tailored as follows:

(3) The Contractor shall submit all vouchers and invoices using the steps described at NSSC’s Vendor Payment information web site at:

https://www.nssc.nasa.gov/vendorpayment. Please contact the NSSC Customer Contact Center at 1-877-NSSC123 (1-877-677-2123) with any additional questions or comments.

(4) Improper invoices. The NSSC Payment Office will notify the Contractor of any apparent error, defect, or impropriety in vouchers/invoices within seven calendar days of receipt by the NSSC Payment Office. Inquiries regarding requests for payment should be directed to the NSSC as specified in paragraph (a) of this Section.

(5) If amounts are withheld from payment in accordance with provisions of this award, a separate payment request for the amount withheld will be required before payment for that amount may be made.

Paragraph (m) is tailored to add the following paragraphs:

(1) In the event the Contractor is unable to meet its delivery obligations from the specified sources, the Contractor may supply the deficient quantities from other sources at the price agreed to in Section 1.2 of this contract.

(2) If such deficient quantities are not so supplied, and the Contractor does not have a Contracting Officer approved excusable delay, the Government may acquire liquefied natural gas from other sources to the level of the quantities deficient, and the Contractor shall pay the Government the difference between the delivered price from such other source and the applicable delivered price under Section 1.2 of this contract.

In this situation, the Government will pay the full price for the spot delivery and may short pay the Contractor, on the next applicable invoice, an amount equal to the difference between the Contractor’s normal price to the Government, and the price the Government paid for the spot delivery.

If the Spot Delivery Contractor is in default and does not have a Contracting Officer approved excusable delay, the Spot Delivery Contractor is responsible for the difference between their awarded price and the subsequent delivered price by another Contractor. If the Spot Delivery Contractor defaults prior to the first delivery, the Government’s rights after termination for cause shall include all the remedies available to any buyer in the marketplace (see FAR 12.403(2)).

(3) In the event the Contractor continues to fail to deliver, correct deficiencies, or comply with contract terms and conditions, the Government may invoke its right to terminate for cause.

(4) In the event the Contractor or Spot Delivery Contractor does not have a Contracting Officer approved excusable delay and is determined to be in default, the Contracting Officer shall pursue a temporary solution to maintain continuity of supplies until the CLIN for that location is awarded to a new Contractor.

Paragraph (o) is replaced as follows:

(o) Warranty.

The items delivered hereunder shall meet the specifications defined in Section 1.4, Performance Specification. The Government may reject any item which does not meet the specifications and no charge will be made for the item rejected. No claim of any kind with respect to the conformance of items to the foregoing specifications, whether based on negligence, warranty, strict liability, or any other theory of law, will be greater than the price of the quantity of nonconforming item(s) in respect to which such claim is made. The foregoing constitutes the Government’s exclusive remedy and the Contractor’s sole obligation with respect to any such claim for not meeting the specifications. “There are no express warranties by Contractor other than those specified in this Section 52.212-4 (o). No warranties by Contractor (other than warranty of title as provided in the uniform commercial code) will be implied or otherwise created under the uniform commercial code including warranty of merchantability and warranty of fitness for a particular purpose.” This limited remedies Section for failure to meet the expressed warranty stated herein shall have no application to or impact on the Government’s remedies under paragraph (m) Termination for cause of this Section.

Schedule for Allotment of Funds

Date Amount

(b) The Contractor agrees to perform or have performed work on the items specified in paragraph (a) of this clause up to the point at which, if this contract is terminated pursuant to the Termination for Convenience of the Government clause of this contract, the total amount payable by the Government (including amounts payable for subcontracts and settlement costs) pursuant to paragraphs (f) and (g) of that clause would, in the exercise of reasonable judgment by the Contractor, approximate the total amount at the time allotted to the contract. The Contractor is not obligated to continue performance of the work beyond that point. The Government is not obligated in any event to pay or reimburse the Contractor more than the amount from time to time allotted to the contract, anything to the contrary in the Termination for Convenience of the Government clause notwithstanding.

(c)

(1) It is contemplated that funds presently allotted to this contract will cover the work to be performed until [TBD see funding table in delivery order].

(2) If funds allotted are considered by the Contractor to be inadequate to cover the work to be performed until that date, or an agreed date substituted for it, the Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer in writing when within the next 60 days the work will reach a point at which, if the contract is terminated pursuant to the Termination for Convenience of the Government clause of this contract, the total amount payable by the Government (including amounts payable for subcontracts and settlement costs) pursuant to paragraphs (f) and (g) of that clause will approximate 75 percent of the total amount then allotted to the contract.

(3)

(4) If, after the notification referred to in paragraph (c)(3)(ii) of this clause, additional funds are not allotted by the date specified in paragraph (c)(1) of this clause, or an agreed date substituted for it, the Contracting Officer shall, upon the Contractor's written request, terminate this contract on that date or on the date set forth in the request, whichever is later, pursuant to the Termination for Convenience of the Government clause.

(d) When additional funds are allotted from time to time for continued performance of the work under this contract, the parties shall agree on the applicable period of contract performance to be covered by these funds. The provisions of paragraphs (b) and (c) of this clause shall apply to these additional allotted funds and the substituted date pertaining to them, and the contract shall be modified accordingly.

(e) If, solely by reason of the Government's failure to allot additional funds in amounts sufficient for the timely performance of this contract, the Contractor incurs additional costs or is delayed in the performance of the work under this contract, and if additional funds are allotted, an equitable adjustment shall be made in the price or prices (including appropriate target, billing, and ceiling prices where applicable) of the items to be delivered, or in the time of delivery, or both.

(f) The Government may at any time before termination, and, with the consent of the Contractor, after notice of termination, allot additional funds for this contract.
