2. Below are the State’s responses to questions received for the above solicitation.

Question 1: Is the Fixed Price Program a true fixed price, or will it be an OPIS +/- differential?

Answer 1: The Fixed Price Program is a true fixed price. In the event of an award, prices awarded and listed in Exhibit D are maximum. These maximum prices shall remain firm for the initial term of the Contract.

Answer 2: Yes, the Spot Price Program will be available to customers on an as-needed basis. The Contractor will be responsible for supplying and delivering the desired fuel products as ordered by the customer. There will be no quantity commitments under the Spot Price Program.

Pricing under the Spot Price Program is calculated as follows: Total Delivered Cost = (Total Bid Constant + Daily Contract Average Price Minneapolis Terminal) * Total Gallons.

The Total Bid Constant will be solicited by the State in Phase 3.

Question 3: How long will Responders have to submit pricing in Phase 3?

Answer 3: Responders who are selected for Phase 3 will be notified and given a response due date and time when Phase 3 documents are distributed.

Question 4: Will there be another question period after Phase 3?

Answer 4: At this time, the State does not intend to include a question period during or following Phase 3. Responder questions may or may not be considered by the State.

Persons with a hearing or speech disability may contact us by dialing 711 or 1.800.627.3529.

Question 5: Can language regarding the condition, responsibility, and compliance of fuel storage tanks, including notification of issues and leakage, be added to the Contract, specifying that the contractor is not liable for any issues except those cause by its own negligence during delivery?

Answer 5: Responders can submit additional language to be considered by the State via Attachment B. The State reserves the right to reject, negotiate, or accept any exception(s) submitted via Attachment B. 100 points will be available in Phase 1 to the Acceptance of State’s Terms and Conditions.
