5. Specify maximum ballast receiving capability for each shipping point:

NOTES:

A. FOR EVALUATION PURPOSES ONLY: DESC will add 5 days to offered tanker lift intervals and 3 days to offered barge lift intervals to determine if the maximum total quantity offered for each offered item can be lifted under a resultant contract. Additionally, if multiple lift intervals are offered, DESC will evaluate the maximum quantity for award based on the most restrictive lift interval. These evaluation factors were derived from operational scheduling realities and will be used only for evaluation purposes. The Government reserves the right to schedule lifts in accordance with the lift intervals indicated in the Schedule of the resultant contract. If the evaluation of each item results in less total quantity than the total quantity offered for that item, then the Government may not award more than the evaluated total quantity. However, offerors should consider the Government's evaluation factors for tanker and barge lift intervals to assure lift intervals and parcel sizes provide for full evaluation of total offered quantity for all items by all modes of delivery.

B. Unless you define otherwise, lift interval is the time between when the vessel completes loading (released by the Government Inspector) until the

Scheduled Delivery Date of the next lifting for a specific product.

C. For companies offering FOB destination barge, the additional three (3) days that are added on the lift interval for evaluation purposes does not apply. In addition, offers FOB destination barge are not penalized for any operational constraints such as daylight berthing and quantities less than a full vessel.

6. Identify the Mean Low Water (MLW) depth at the shipping point and the channel approach leading to the dock.

(Identify the most restrictive point).

(FEET) (SHIPPING POINT)

Any water depth at MLW of less than 38 feet (36 feet from Clause F52 plus 2 feet for safety allowance) for TANKER will receive a penalty.

F109 IN-LINE BLENDING OF NONAVIATION PETROLEUM PRODUCTS (DESC DEC 1991)

(a) In response to this solicitation, offerors may offer nonaviation petroleum products that use In-Line Blending (ILB) procedures for delivery into tankers and barges (vessels). Offerors planning to use ILB procedures to blend finished product, as it is being delivered into vessels, must include with the offer a detailed description of the ILB procedures, including quantity determination. Automatic, on-line test procedures must be described in detail, including whether these tests are ASTM (or equivalent) approved. ILB procedures must be acceptable to the Government. The Contractor has the option of meeting the requirements of either (b) or (c) below.

(b) The Contractor is responsible for product quality on board the vessel.

(1) During an ILB operation, changes in the blend ratio may occur during vessel loadings. In order to assure the entire cargo is uniformly blended, sampling and testing on board the vessel are required. Although Section 4 of the Product Specification, Quality Assurance Provisions, defines a Bulk Lot as an indefinite quantity of a homogeneous mixture of material offered for acceptance in a single isolated container, sampling and full specification testing of each vessel tank system is acceptable.

(2) The following vessel sampling and testing must be performed by the Contractor and substitutes for the Sampling and Testing requirements contained in the CONTRACTOR INSPECTION RESPONSIBILITIES clause. All tests must be on-specification as evidence that the Contractor has met the contract product quality requirements.

(i) An appearance, gravity, and flash point (if product specification has a flash point requirement) on an all-level sample from each tank used in the loading. A half (0.5) liter sample from each tank will be retained for 45 days.

(ii) A full specification test series on a multiple tank composite sample representing each vessel tank system used in the loading. If more than four systems are used, only four multiple tank composite samples need to be tested. In this case, the Contractor will ensure that multiple tank composite samples are representative of all product loaded, and the Contractor will determine which vessel tanks will be included in each multiple tank composite sample. A 20-liter multiple tank composite sample for each vessel tank system will be retained for 45 days.

(iii) All time and costs associated with sampling and testing the finished product aboard the vessel will be borne by the Contractor.

(iv) If the product does not conform to specification aboard the vessel, the Government has the option to require the Contractor to pump the cargo back to the Contractor's facility. In this circumstance, title for the nonconforming product will revert to the Contractor, and the Contractor will have no right to payment for such product. All delays and costs associated with the nonconforming product, including demurrage and any vessel cleaning determined necessary by the Government, will be borne by the Contractor.

(c) The Contractor is responsible for product quality at the custody transfer point.

(1) Subdivisions (b)(2)(i) and (ii) above, sampling and testing, must still be performed.

(2) The Contractor must also obtain samples at the custody transfer point that are representative of the product in the various vessel tanks. Samples must be taken in accordance with ASTM D 4177. As a minimum, an 8-liter composite sample, representative of each quarter cargo, will be taken. One 4-liter sample from each of these composites will be retained for a period of 45 days.

(3) If all vessel tests required by subdivisions (b)(2)(i) and (ii) above conform to specification, it will be concluded the Contractor met the contract quality requirements and no additional testing of custody transfer samples will be required.

(4) If any vessel tests in subdivisions (b)(2)(i) and (ii) above are off-specification, the Contractor must perform a full specification test series on the applicable custody transfer composite sample(s) that represents the on board off-specification product. If the custody transfer point sample(s) conforms to specification, it will be concluded the Contractor met the contract quality requirements. If the custody transfer point sample(s) does not conform to specification, it will be concluded the Contractor did not meet the contract quality requirements and the Government has the option to require the Contractor to pump the cargo back to the Contractor's facility. In this circumstance, title for the nonconforming product will revert to the Contractor and the Contractor will have no right to payment for such product. All delays and costs associated with the nonconforming product, including demurrage and any vessel cleaning determined necessary by the Government, will be borne by the Contractor.

(d) The Contractor may inspect tankers and barges for suitability to load the intended cargo. If the Contractor chooses the paragraph (b) option to guarantee product quality on board the vessel and the Contractor and the U.S. Quality Representative (QR) disagree as to the suitability to load Government-furnished vessels, the determination of the Contractor will govern. If the Contractor chooses the paragraph (c) option to guarantee product quality at the custody transfer point and the Contractor and QR disagree as to the suitability to load Government-furnished vessels, the determination of the QR will govern.

(e) The Contractor must state in its offer whether it will meet either the paragraph (b) or (c) requirements.

(i) Accept payment by check or some other mutually agreeable method of payment; or

(ii) Request the Government to extend the payment due date until such time as the Government can make payment by EFT (but see paragraph (d) of this clause).

If the Contractor's EFT information in the CCR database is incorrect, then the Government need not make payment to the Contractor under this contract until correct EFT information is entered into the CCR database; and any invoice or contract financing request shall be deemed not to be a proper invoice for the purpose of prompt payment under this contract.

(f) EFT AND PROMPT PAYMENT. A payment shall be deemed to have been made in a timely manner in accordance with the prompt payment terms of this contract if, in the EFT payment transaction instruction released to the Federal Reserve System, the date specified for settlement of the payment is on or before the prompt payment due date, provided the specified payment date is a valid date under the rules of the Federal Reserve System.

If the Government makes payment by check in accordance with paragraph (a) of this clause, the Government shall mail the payment information to the remittance address contained in the CCR database.
