Category 3, Fixed Pricing for Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel The delivery of Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) is purchased as a fixed adder over the weighted average price of the NYMEX for ULSD. The weighted average will be determined at time of purchase by averaging the number of months and/or gallons needed. It is strongly encouraged that eligible entities solicit quotes in zones with multiple awarded vendors. Vendors will work with the individual purchasing entities to determine specific time to lock into the NYMEX, when it is deemed to be most advantageous. The specific volume will be verified when NYMEX is locked in by the purchasing entities. Purchasing Entities reserve the right to roll over purchases to additional months if needed. It is the responsibility of the Contractor and Purchasing Entity to come to a decision of how unused gallons will be handled prior to entering into an agreement and to ensure that this agreement is in writing.

Please note this fixed adder is ceiling, not to exceed pricing. Eligibility entities reserve the right to negotiate a lower fixed adder based on total gallons with the vendor. A minimum of 42,000 gallons must be purchased by the Eligible Entity. It is at the discretion of the Contractor to enter into any agreements less than 42,000 gallons.

• Prompt Pay Discounts: A discount given to the buyer if paid within a certain time period. These discounts may be found in the Vendor List and Information section below. All discounts offered will be taken in cases where the payment issue date is within the specified number of days listed by vendor and in accordance with the Commonwealth’s Bill Paying Policy. Payment days will be measured from the date goods are received and accepted / performance was completed OR the date an invoice is received by the Commonwealth, whichever is later to the date the payment is issued as an EFT (preferred method) or mailed by the State Treasurer. The date of payment “issue” is the date a payment is considered “paid” not the date a payment is “received” by a Contractor.

Instructions for MMARS Users MMARS users must reference the MA number in the proper field in MMARS when placing orders with any contractor.

Environmentally Preferable Products (EPP) The Environmentally Preferable Products on this contract are the various grades of Biodiesel (B5, B10, B15, B20) found in categories 2 (Differential Pricing for Biodiesel) & 4 (Fixed Pricing for Biodiesel). Biodiesel is a renewable fuel made from agricultural resources, vegetable oils, and/or animal fats, that all provide the same amount of energy. Biodiesel reduces particulate matter and tailpipe emissions that impact climate change, such as carbon dioxide (CO2) [although some increase in nitrogen dioxide (NOx) may occur depending on the duty cycle of the engine]. Biodiesel is available in blends of B5, B10, B15, and B20 (20% biodiesel, 80% ULSD when available) for spring and summer months. Biodiesel is non-toxic, biodegradable, and suitable for sensitive environments, making biodiesel spills far less harmful to the environment and much less expensive to clean up than a diesel spill.

Appendix B: Truck Safety Standards Issued by RMV

Truck Safety Standards The RMV enacted new regulations (540 CMR 4.10 to 4.13) that apply to certain registered motor vehicles, trailers, semi-trailers and semi-trailer units classified as class 3 or above by the Federal Highway Administration, with a gross vehicle weight (GVW) rating of 10,001 pounds or more (“Heavy Vehicles”). Heavy Vehicles that are (1) leased or purchased by the Commonwealth on or after January 1, 2023, or (2) operated under contracts with the Commonwealth executed on or after January 1, 2025, that require the use of Heavy Vehicles in writing or by necessary implication, must be equipped with the following truck safety devices:

• Lateral protective devices (LPD), commonly called “Side Guards,”

• Convex mirrors,

• Crossover mirrors, and

• Back-up cameras.

For snow and ice management and removal services and towing services, these regulations apply to Heavy Vehicles operated under contracts with the Commonwealth that were executed on or after July 1, 2025. Heavy Vehicles affected by the RMV regulations must be certified as compliant with these requirements beginning 12/31/2025 using the RMV portal. Please refer to MassDOT’s guidance here for information about updates on truck safety devices, the certification and waiver process, and guidance for contractors. Further guidance will soon be available on the OSD website.
