· Can the solicitation be sent via email to Stephanie Faulkner and Chuck Segal? If not, what is the preferred method of delivery and to what address?

Question 2

· Pages 12 & 13 are asking for the Propane Cost per Gallon and the Fixed Fee per Gallon for base year and four option years. On Page 55, under 3 b, it states that every adjustment during an Option Year shall be based on the original contract price for that option year. I can fill in the Propane Cost for the base period and the Fixed Fee for each year, but I do not know the price per gallon for the future option years. The only base cost I have is the one from the 11/19/12 Conoco Philips Bayway posting for the base period. How should this be handled? Can I insert a best assumption price for each of the (4) option years that would not be based on the BPN posting?
