(g) DELIVERY ORDERS.

(1) Any supplies and services to be furnished under this contract shall be ordered by issuance of delivery orders by the individuals or activities defined as an Ordering Officer. Any U.S. military and Federal civilian agency vessel may utilize this contract. An Ordering Officer means whichever of the following (or their designated representatives) is applicable: (1) the Director, Defense Logistics Agency Energy; (2), the Commander, U.S. Army Petroleum Center; (3) the Commanding Officer, U.S. Naval Operational Logistics Support Center; (4) the Officer in charge of the Federal Government activity encompassing any delivery point indicated in the Schedule; (5) the Commanding Officer or the Master of the vessel to be bunkered; (6) any Government Contractor furnishing evidence of authority to order under this contract; (7) the head of any Federal Government agency; (8) the Contracting Officer; (9) the Navy Fleet Commanders; (10) the Defense Attaché Officer; (11) the authorizing ship manager (Contractor) for the Maritime Administration and/or National Aeronautic and Space Administration (NASA) who is ordering ships; bunkers on behalf of Maritime Administration and/or NASA vessels; (12) the ships’ husbanding agent, furnishing evidence of contractual authority, who passes the order (verbal or written) on behalf of the requesting Government vessel; (13) Military Sealift Command Fuel Ordering Officers. All delivery orders are subject to the terms and conditions of this contract. In the event there is a conflict between a delivery order and this contract, the contract shall control.

(2) ORAL ORDERS. Bunker fuel orders may be issued orally or in writing. An oral delivery order may be considered issued by the Ordering Officer when it is verbally assigned a purchase order and/or delivery order number and the delivery specifics have been verbally communicated to the Contractor. A verbal delivery order number may also be the Date Time Group (DTG) number from the vessel's Logistics Requirements (LOGREQ) Report issued to a Government shore activity or contracted husbanding agent. Contractors are encouraged to request evidence to substantiate a verbal delivery order. For military and U.S. Coast Guard vessels, a contracted husbanding agent or Government shore activity may serve as liaison for the requesting vessel to be bunkered. The Government shore activity or contracted husbanding agent will pass the above-described oral order issued by the vessel, along with evidence of this order, to the Contractor in a timely manner and will coordinate the delivery of the fuel. The husbanding agent, not having authority to bind the Government, must clearly advise the Contractor of its role in this arrangement and show valid evidence (DTG from LOGREQ copy of e-mail or LOGREQ from vessel to husbanding agent, etc.) of the order requirement initiated by the U.S. Government vessel.

(3) WRITTEN DELIVERY ORDERS. For all orders, the appropriate ordering office/officer will provide a signed, written order--

(i) A Department of Defense (DD) Form 1155 for DoD agencies;

(ii) An Optional Form (OF) 347 for all Federal/Civilian Agencies;

(iii) A Commerce Department (CD) Form 404 for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration; or

(iv) An SF 1449 for all of the above--to the Contractor or its designee in place of or after issuing the above-described oral order. The written delivery order will be provided to the Contractor, or its designee, prior to or at completion of delivery; however, Contractors are highly encouraged to request the written delivery order prior to completion of the delivery if not already received. The order form must, at a minimum, include the contract number, Contractor’s name and address, contract line item number, payment office, signature of the Ordering Officer, ships’ ordering and payment information, and quantity of fuel ordered. In the event a written delivery order is not provided after delivery, the Contractor shall promptly contact the DLA ENERGY Contracting

OSP Page 9 of 49

Officer for assistance. The ordering office's failure to issue written confirmation, or the Contractor's failure to receive written confirmation, does not relieve the Contractor from its obligation to perform in accordance with the oral order.

(4) SHIPS’ BUNKERS EASY ACQUISITION (SEA) CARD. The SEA Card Order Management System (SCOMS) is an Internet-based operating system that automates ordering, receipt, delivery and invoicing for all bunkers contract transactions. Orders issued via SCOMS satisfy the requirements for written delivery orders set forth above. The Contractor agrees to use the automated SCOMS system for all orders placed using SEA Card processes. In the event the Ordering Officer cannot access the web-based system to place an order, a verbal order will be placed with the SEACARD 24-hour Help Desk at 1-866-308-5475 The Help Desk will process the order to the Contractor and follow up with data input assistance before the close of the following business day. For orders not placed using SEA Card processes, the manual procedures outlined in paragraph (3) are authorized. Other than the SEA Card, credit cards of any type shall not be used to create a delivery order under this contract

(5) CANCELLATION OF ORDERS. Orders placed under this contract may be cancelled by an authorized Ordering Officer within the following time period without incurring cancellation charges:

(i) Delivery into Government vessels (to include dredges and barges) by means of transport truck, truck and trailer, tank wagon, Marine Service Station, or pipeline. No less than 24 hours prior to the specific time such delivery is required to be made;

(ii) Deliveries by barge. No less than 48 hours prior to the specific time such delivery is required to be made; or

(iii) No less than the minimum delivery notice time as stated in the Schedule, if different from the above.

(h) DELIVERY ORDER LIMITATIONS.

(1) MINIMUM ORDER. When the Government requires supplies or services covered by this contract in an amount of less than the minimum quantity applicable to the method of delivery called for by the item(s) as specified in the Schedule, the Government shall not be obligated to purchase, nor the Contractor obligated to furnish, any supplies or services under this contract. Where the Contractor receives such an order, the Contractor may choose to fulfill the order under the contract terms and conditions or refuse the order. Refused orders will revert to SCOMS for an open market purchase. Refusal by the Contractor to supply within its contract price/terms will not preclude the Contractor from being competitively solicited under SCOMS for the open market purchase.

(2) MAXIMUM ORDER. The Contractor shall not be obligated to honor any order for a single item, or any series of orders from the same ordering office in the course of 30 days, that exceeds the limitations listed below:

(i) For items calling for delivery as ships' bunkers by barge or pipeline--

TOTAL ESTIMATED QUANTITY OF ITEM LIMITATION

Less than 500,000 USG/1,700 MT The total estimated quantity

500,000 to 2,500,000 USG/1,700 to 8,700 MT 500,000 USG/1,700 MT or 50% of the total estimated quantity, whichever is greater

More than 500,000 USG/1,700 MT 250,000 USG/870 MT or 25% of the total estimated quantity, whichever is greater

Where the Contractor receives such an order, the Contractor may choose to fulfill the order under the contract terms and conditions or refuse the order. Refused orders will revert to SCOMS for an open market purchase. Refusal by the Contractor to supply within its contract price/terms will not preclude the Contractor from being competitively solicited under SCOMS for the open market purchase.

(i) DELIVERY AND ORDERING PERIODS. The period during which the Government may order and the Contractor shall deliver, if ordered, will be as specified below unless the Schedule specifies otherwise.

(1) ORDERS: The ordering period begins: April, 01, 2014 and ends: September 30, 2018.

The Government reserves the right to unilaterally extend this contract on the same terms and conditions on a month-to-month basis one or more times for a total of no more than six months. Notice of contract extension will be furnished to the Contractor no later than 10 days prior to expiration of this contract or any extension thereof. However, nothing in this contract provision precludes the Contractor from agreeing to an extension of the contract if the Government fails to issue the notice within the 10-day time frame. Extension of this contract shall be considered to have been accomplished at the time the Government provides written notification to the Contractor via mail deposit or facsimile.

(4) FOR ALL ITEMS. Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraphs, if the Government requests and the Contractor agrees to honor an order outside the delivery limitations set forth above and/or the minimum advance delivery order notice, the order will be bound to the terms, conditions, and price(s) established in the contract. The Contractor shall honor any written or oral order(s) outside the delivery order limitations set forth above or agreed to by the parties within the contract, unless the Contractor rejects the order(s) by notifying the issuing office immediately upon its receipt, as prescribed below, but no later than 24 hours from the time of its issuance. If the order is issued on a weekend and/or holiday and it falls outside the delivery order limitations, the Contractor has until noon of the next business day to reject the order.

Contractor Notification: The Contractor's rejection notice must be given first verbally, by calling the ordering office, followed by a written notification, which should preferably be sent via facsimile. The Contractor's written notice of rejection must clearly state (1) the intent not to deliver the ordered item(s) and (2) the reasons for rejection, and must be accompanied with the written order, if there is one. Upon receipt of the Contractor's verbal notice of rejection, the Government may secure the supplies from another source. The Government is not required to order a part of any one requirement from the Contractor when such requirement falls outside the advance delivery order notice and/or delivery order limitations set forth in this contract provision or agreed to by the parties within the contract. For orders placed via SCOMS, any rejection by the Contractor will be input into the system and will revert to a SEACARD open-market purchase.

(5) FOR ALL ORDERS. The Government must place orders during the Contractor's normal business operating hours for receipt of orders for a delivery to occur on a weekend and/or holiday. If an order for a delivery that is urgently required on a weekend and/or holiday cannot be placed during the Contractor's normal operating hours for receipt of orders, the Government shall first verbally contact the Contractor for offer of said order. If the Contractor verbally elects to not accept said order, the Government shall document as such and the order will revert to an open market purchase.

(j) ORDERING POINT(S) OF CONTACT. Due to vessel missions, it is imperative that Contractor’s be reachable at all times for order placement and timely deliveries. To ensure prompt delivery of the supplies to be furnished for ships' bunker requirements, the Contractor shall provide a primary and/or alternate point of contact for receipt of orders 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, for each item listed below. Complete telephone and facsimile numbers including country and/or area codes are requested. Alternative numbers, such as beepers, pagers, cell phones, etc., are also requested. The Contractor may, at its option, assign a Contractor designee at each delivery location as the point of contact, provided the designee agrees to act as the Contractor’s representative for this purpose. The following table shall be used for order placement for ships’ bunkers:

Normal Operating Hours

Item Contact Person Complete Complete and Days for

Number and Location Telephone Number Facsimile Number E-Mail Address Orders Deliveries

If delivery cannot be made during the Contractor’s normal operating hours, as set forth in paragraph (j) above, the Contractor shall continue with or initiate deliveries during other than normal operating hours as requested by the vessel's officer with Ordering Officer authority or, in such instances, as authorized in writing by the Contracting Officer. The Contractor shall provide applicable overtime documents, showing date and time overtime commenced and concluded, to the Receiving Officer who shall certify that said charges have been incurred. In the event that overtime may apply for deliveries outside of the operating hours and days cited in paragraph (j) above, the Contractor must advise of such time factors and the overtime rate per hour that shall apply per item.

(1) SEA Card Order Management System (SCOMS) Orders.

(i) Charges for overtime are deemed ancillary, non-fuel charges and are the responsibility of the activity incurring them. In accordance with the SUBMISSION OF INVOICES FOR NON-FUEL CHARGES – LOCAL PURCHASE PAYMENT REQUIREMENTS (FUEL CARD SERVICES) contract provision, the Contractor shall invoice these charges using SCOMS, upon approval by the activity, the Credit Card Processor (CCP) will pay the Contractor and the CCP will then bill the receiving activity.

(ii) In the event the incurring activity disputes the charge(s), the Contractor may submit a claim to the Contracting Officer. The Contractor may include the SCOMS processing fee as part of its claim which must be clearly identified and expressed as a whole number, not a percentage.

(2) Non-SCOMS Orders. The Government agrees to reimburse the Contractor for overtime payment costs associated with deliveries made outside the Contractor’s normal operating hours in accordance with the Schedule below. Notwithstanding the rates set forth below, the Government will not pay more than the actual rate charged by the common carrier or the rate the Contractor normally charges it’s regular commercial customer, whichever is lower.

(3) Overtime Rates.

Hours & Days Outside

Item Number of Normal Delivery Rate per hour

NOTE: U.S. Navy and some port regulations may prohibit deliveries from occurring at nighttime. Further, some vessels carrying ammunition or other cargoes considered hazardous may not be allowed to enter certain ports (pier-side) during specific hours or not at all, requiring deliveries at non-peak times and/or at anchorage, respectively.

(l) RECEIPTS.

(1) For SCOMS deliveries, all receipts for fuel will be entered into the SEACARD system. However, the Contractor must keep all records for a period of 6 years and 3 months after final payment in accordance with FAR 4.805.

(2) For non-SCOMS deliveries, upon completion of the fuel delivery, the Contractor, or the Contractor’s designee, shall prepare a commercial receipt. A commercial receipt is defined as a commercial bunker receipt, a commercial bill of lading, and/or delivery ticket for the exact type of fuel under contract. The Contractor shall then, and in the presence of the Government representative at the time of the delivery, clearly annotate on the commercial receipt, in English--

(i) The exact type of fuel delivered, which must match the contract item;

(ii) The date and time of the delivery commencement and completion;

(iii) The Government vessel’s name;

(iv) The delivered fuel temperature; and

(v) The net delivery quantity.

(3) FOR DOMESTIC DISTILLATE CONTRACTS ONLY. If the fuel was dyed in accordance with U.S. Government environmental and revenue requirements, this must also be cited on the commercial receipt.

(4) he receiving vessel’s representative shall certify the commercial receipt, acknowledging receipt and acceptance of the fuel type, net quantity, date of fuel receipt, and sign for fuel acceptance. A legible copy of the commercial receipt will be provided to the receiving vessel. It is imperative that the receipt be annotated for the same type of fuel under contract.

(5) Alternatively, the receiving vessel’s representative may utilize the ordering document to certify receipt and acceptance of the fuel type and quantity when a commercial receipt is not available; provided there will be no recurring deliveries against that order. Certification of acceptance is accomplished when the vessel’s representative (i) encircles the ordered quantity, (ii) annotates the received net quantity beneath the encircled quantity, and then (iii) dates and (iv) signs the receipt portion of the ordering document. WITHOUT ALL FOUR OF THE AFOREMENTIONED PROVISIONS, THE ORDER DOCUMENT CANNOT BE USED FOR RECEIPT CERTIFICATION. If available, the ships’ stamp shall be annotated on the order form.

(6) Whichever documentation is used, the Contractor or its representative shall ensure the vessel’s representative annotates the actual net quantity received utilizing the contracted unit of issue, i.e., U.S. gallons for domestic locations and metric tons for overseas locations. The vessel's representative shall return the certified receipt documentation to the Contractor or the Contractor’s designee, prior to departure.
