b) All LPG delivered by the Contractor shall be measured by metering equipment of standard manufacturer, furnished, installed, maintained, calibrated, and read by the contractor at his/her own expense. In the event that any meter fails to register or registers incorrectly, the quantity of LPG delivered through it during that period shall be determined and an equitable adjustment based thereon shall be made in the Government’s Bills. Any meter which registers not more than two percent (2%) slow or fast shall be deemed correct. Failure to agree on any such adjustments shall be a dispute concerning a question of fact within the meaning of FAR 52.233-1 Disputes clause of this contract.
