PPI 3 Question (ITA): ARTICLE 9 Addition and Termination of Services. Si chiede di specificare che i siti eventualmente aggiunti possono essere solo con destinazione “altri usi” (quindi non possono essere per uso domestico) PPI 3 Answer (ITA): I siti eventualmente aggiunti sotto questo contratto avranno esclusivamente destinazione <<altri usi>>.

PPI 4 Question (ENG): With reference to access to the measurement data, and for the values relating to the supply period prior to the current month, is it possible to consider the 15th of the month as the date from which the data are to be considered available as non-binding? In addition, is it possible to use the web portal independently for their extraction?

PPI 4 Answer (ENG): As provided in Art. 2, interval data availability is “subject to the metering data submission from the Distributor”. Therefore, the monthly day 15 deadline shall not be binding to the Vendor who will promptly make the data available once submitted by the Distributor. Prompt data publication on the vendor’s web portal fulfills this requirement.

PPI 4 Question (ITA): In riferimento all’accesso ai dati di misura, e per i valori relativi al periodo di fornitura precedente al mese in corso, è possibile considerare non vincolante il 15 del mese come data a partire dalla quale i dati dovranno essere considerati disponibili? Inoltre, è possibile utilizzare in autonomia il portale web per la loro estrazione?

PPI 4 Answer (ITA): Come specificato all’Art. 2, la disponibilita’ dei dati di misura è “soggetta alla pubblicazione dei dati da parte del Distributore”. Pertanto la scadenza del 15 del mese non puo’ considerarsi vincolante per il Fornitore, il quale rendera’ i dati prontamente disponibili una volta pubblicati dal Distributore. La tempestiva pubblicazione di tali dati sul portale web del venditore soddisfa questo requisito.

PPI 5 Answer (ITA): Qualsiasi modifica alle tariffe regolate e passanti (oneri di sistema, servizi di distribuzione trasmissione e misura, dispacciamento) puo’ essere recepita all’interno del primo ciclo utile di fatturazione.

PPI 6 Question (ENG): The full billing cycle could end at the end of the month, so can it be considered non-binding that the invoici Il ciclo completo di fatturazione potrebbe concludersi al termine del mese, è possibile pertanto considerare non vincolante che la fatturazione si concluda entro e non oltre il 20° giorno del mese successivo al periodo di fornitura?

PPI 6 Answer (ENG): Article 12 “Invoice and Payment” states that “The Supplier shall issue invoices on a monthly basis, normally no later than the 20th day of the month”. “Normally” means that under unusual and justified circumstances bills may be issued later than the 20th of the month.

PPI 6 Question (ITA): Il ciclo completo di fatturazione potrebbe concludersi al termine del mese, è possibile pertanto considerare non vincolante che la fatturazione si concluda entro e non oltre il 20° giorno del mese successivo al periodo di fornitura?

PPI 6 Answer (ITA): All’ Articolo 12 “Invoice and Payment” si afferma che “Il Fornitore emettera’ le fatture a cadenza mensile, normalmente non oltre il 20mo giorno del mese”. Con “normalmente” si intende che in circostanze insolite e giustificate le fatture possono essere emesse oltre il 20 del mese.

PPI 7 Answer (ENG): The “Summary Invoice Sheet” issued by the vendor is required by Article 12 “Invoice and Payment”.

Following the award of the contract, the possibility of accessing the supplier's portal, the extraction of each “Summary Invoice Sheet” and its completeness will be assessed for compliance with Article 12 provisions.

PPI 7 Question (ITA): E’ possibile non concordare l’invio manuale da parte del fornitore dell’elenco riepilogativo di tutti i fatturati di zona, considerando la possibilità di estrazione in autonomia dei dati dal portale web?

PPI 7 Answer (ITA): Il “Summary Invoice Sheet” prodotto dal fornitore e’ richiesto come da Articolo 12 “Invoice and Payment”, ove si afferma che “L’elenco-fattura riepilogativo costituira’ un documento ufficiale ai fini del pagamento degli importi fatturati”. Successivamente all’aggiudicazione della gara sara’ valutata la possibilita’ dell’accesso al portale del fornitore, dell’estrazione dei dati e valutata la loro completezza secondo quanto richiesto all’articolo 12.

The following have been modified:

INVOICING INSTRUCTIONS

Article 12. Invoice and Payment

The Supplier shall issue invoices on a monthly basis, normally no later than the 20th day of the month following the supply period. At the same time it issues the invoices, the Supplier shall also provide a copy of the transport bill issued by the Distributor if available or, alternatively, a copy of the spreadsheet reporting the detailed transport costs for all the accounts.

All invoices shall be based on metered quantities at the service point for each account. The Supplier may only invoice for charges allowed under the terms and conditions of this contract. In no event shall the Supplier separately invoice amounts that are already included in the offered price, as provided for under Article 4 “Price of Electrical power Supply.”

All invoices shall comply with ARERA’s transparency regulations, including ARG/com 202/09 and subsequent modifications as applied to electrical power users in the Free Market.

If the Distributor has not provided the Supplier a monthly meter reading on an account, the Supplier shall issue invoices with estimates based on historical consumption. The Supplier shall adjust all estimated invoices on the first billing cycle after the Distributor bill provides the mater reading for the account.

In case NAVFAC EURAFCENT detects errors or inaccuracies in the invoices and gives written notice to the Supplier, such invoices will be put on hold until the issue is settled and the amount of the undue charge will be credited on the following bill. In the event of errors in billing, NAVFAC EURAFCENT will not be liable for a late payment or additional charges.

In case it is determined any charge invoiced by the Supplier is incorrectly billed to NAVFAC EURAFCENT, the Supplier shall credit the excess amount on the relevant account.

Credits due to NAVFAC EURAFCENT will be indicated in the next invoice(s). Credits, debts, and invoice whole cancellation (fatture di storno) may likewise be compensated in the next summary invoice report, as long as the net total amount is a debit and after exchange of checks and communications between the supplier and the relevant US Government office.

If there is a credit after contract expiration, the Supplier shall reimburse NAVFAC EURAFCENT via electronic fund transfer (EFT) or bank transfers to a United States Government (USG) Euro bank account. NAVFAC EURAFCENT will provide an appropriate EFT routing information when required. The bank transfer shall include all information needed to identify reference invoices and credits.

The Government cannot accept stand-alone credit invoices. The Government can only accept credit invoices if in a debit amount. The Supplier shall notify NAVFAC EURAFCENT in advance if it intends to issue a credit invoice.

All invoicing shall be based on metered quantities at the service point for each account.

The Government will normally pay invoices within 45 calendar days receipt through e-mail of a complete and proper invoice to the office designated whose email addresses are provided below.

Within 15 working days after contract award, the Supplier shall provide NAVFAC EURAFCENT with the information required to pay invoices via bank transfer. The Supplier shall email this information directly to the emails below and the Contracting Officer.

The Contracting Officer may determine that another method of payment besides bank transfer is appropriate for one or more areas of supply. The Contracting Officer will notify the Supplier as appropriate.

The Supplier shall promptly notify the Contracting Officer of any change affecting the payment of invoices.

If the Government payment is delayed beyond 45 days after receipt of the invoice, the invoiced amount will be increased by applying the current Legal Interest rate (Tasso di Interesse Legale and/or Tasso di Interesse Moratorio) established by law. The interest rate will be as published in the Gazzetta Ufficiale.

NAVFAC EURAFCENT will perform payments only upon receipt of specific invoices, including but not limited to one-time amounts due to the distributor for connection charges. Cost estimates/proposals are not considered substitute to invoices. Official acceptance of a cost proposal and following contract modification, constitute an obligation to pay the accepted amount(s).

The alternative method of delivery must ensure mailing is made within the following workday of the invoice date. The date the package is received by the U.S. NAVFAC EURAFCENT will be considered the official receipt date. It is the Suppliers responsibility to send an email and receive confirmation that the invoice was received by NAVFAC EURAFCENT.
