B19.34 ECONOMIC PRICE ADJUSTMENT (OVERSEAS BULK) (DLA ENERGY JAN 2012)

(a) WARRANTIES. The Contractor warrants that--

(1) The unit prices set forth in this offer and/or contract do not include allowances for any portion of the contingency covered by this contract provision; and

(2) The prices to be invoiced hereunder for listed items shall be computed in accordance with these escalation provisions.

(b) DEFINITIONS. As used throughout this contract provision, the term--

(1) Base unit price means the unit price set forth opposite the item in the Schedule.

(2) Reference price means the market price indicator set forth in the Table in (f) below with which the base unit price is to fluctuate. NOTE: The term market price indicator will be referred to hereafter as “reference price” in this contract provision.

(3) Date of delivery is defined as follows:

(i) FOR TANKER OR BARGE DELIVERIES.

(A) F.O.B. ORIGIN. The date and time vessel commences loading.

(B) F.O.B. DESTINATION. The date and time vessel commences discharging.

(ii) FOR PIPELINE DELIVERIES. The date and time product commences to move past the specified f.o.b. point.

(iii) FOR ALL OTHER TYPES OF DELIVERIES. The date product is received.

(c) ADJUSTMENTS.

(1) The Contractor shall give written notice to the Contracting Officer, Defense Logistics Agency Energy (DLA Energy), of any delivery and associated change in the reference price within 15 working days from the date thereof. Contractor failure to timely notify the Contracting Officer of any delivery and associated change in the reference price may result in late or incorrect payment of the relevant invoice.

(2) Subject to the conditions of this contract provision, the prices payable under this contract shall be the base unit price increased or decreased by the same number of cents, or fraction thereof, that the reference price shall have increased or decreased.

(3) An increase or decrease in any reference price published in a trade price service or in a commercial journal shall apply only to deliveries made on and after the effective date of the price change as stated in the publication.

(4) The Contracting Officer will issue a modification to this contract to reflect any change pursuant to this provision. However, no increase in a contract unit price shall be executed pursuant to this provision until the increase in the applicable published reference price has been verified by the Contracting Officer.

(5) FAILURE TO DELIVER. Notwithstanding any other conditions of this contract provision, no upward adjustment shall apply to product scheduled under the contract to be delivered before the effective date of the adjustment, unless the Contractor’s failure to deliver according to the delivery schedule results from causes beyond the Contractor’s control and without its fault or negligence, within the meaning of paragraphs (f), Excusable Delays, and (m), Termination for Cause, of the CONTRACT TERMS AND CONDITIONS – COMMERCIAL ITEMS clause of this contract, in which case the contract shall be amended to make an equitable extension of the delivery schedule.

(6) UPWARD CEILING ON ECONOMIC PRICE ADJUSTMENT. The Contractor agrees that the total increase in any contract unit price pursuant to these economic price adjustment provisions shall not exceed 330% percent of the award price, except as provided hereafter.

(i) If at any time the Contractor has reason to believe that within the near future a price adjustment under the conditions of this contract provision will be required that will exceed the current contract ceiling price for any item, the Contractor shall promptly notify the Contracting Officer in writing of the expected increase. The notification shall include a revised ceiling the Contractor believes is sufficient to permit completion of remaining contract performance, along with appropriate explanation and documentation as required by the Contracting Officer.

(ii) If an actual increase in the reference price would raise a contract unit price for an item above the current ceiling, the Contractor shall have no obligation under this contract to fill pending or future orders for such item, as of the effective date of the increase, unless the Contracting Officer issues a contract modification to raise the ceiling. If the contract ceiling will not be raised, the Contracting Officer shall so promptly notify the Contractor in writing.

(7) REVISION OF REFERENCE PRICE INDICATOR. In the event--

(i) Any applicable reference price is discontinued or its method of derivation is altered substantially; or

(ii) The Contracting Officer determines that the reference price consistently and substantially failed to reflect market conditions--the parties shall mutually agree upon an appropriate and comparable substitute for determining the price adjustments hereunder. The contract shall be modified to reflect such substitute effective on the date the indicator was discontinued, altered, or began to consistently and substantially fail to reflect market conditions. If the parties fail to agree on an appropriate substitute, the matter shall be resolved in accordance with paragraph (d), Disputes, of the CONTRACT TERMS AND CONDITIONS – COMMERCIAL ITEMS clause of this contract.

(8) CONVERSION FACTORS. If this contract provision requires quantity conversion for economic price adjustment purposes, the conversion factors for applicable products, as specified in the CONVERSION FACTORS provision, apply unless otherwise specified in the Schedule.

(U.S. Edition)

$1.215000

NOTES:

A. For Platts Oilgram: NOTE: The Reference prices are calculated by averaging the respective low prices and averaging the respective high prices for the ten published effective days' prices preceding the date of delivery. Both the low and high averages are then averaged to determine the new Reference

Price. This average price is averaged to two (2) decimal places, regardless of whether the price is stated in dollars per barrel, dollars per metric ton, or cents per USG. This average will be converted to dollars per USG using the conversion factors cited in Paragraphs B, C, D, E, and F if needed, and rounded to six (6) decimal places. For example, assume a date of delivery on Friday and on that day, Platts published the effective price assessment for the previous day (Thursday). That previous day’s effective price assessment would be the tenth day used to calculate the reference price. If a delivery were on

Saturday, Sunday, or Monday, then the prior Friday’s effective price, which is published on Monday, would be the tenth day used to calculate the reference price. Because Platts does not publish on the weekend, Saturday’s, Sunday’s, and Monday’s reference price is calculated the same and then only

Saturday’s reference and unit prices are reflected in the contract price modification. For any consecutive days’ reference prices that calculate to be the same, only the first day’s reference and unit prices are shown on the contract price modification. Accordingly, for any delivery date not shown on a contract price modification, the last date prior to the missing date is used for payment purposes. If Platts fails to publish an assessment designated for a particular product yet publishes other assessments for other products, then just that missing effective price for that particular product is not considered as a published day’s price for reference price calculation purposes." Platts publishes prices Monday through Friday except holidays. A list of holidays is provided on Platts website at http://www.platts.com/Client%20Services/.

Any product offer must specify on which escalator it is based. Offers for JA1, JP8 may use any or all of the stated escalators for that product.

B. The conversion factor 315.30 USG/Metric Ton is used to calculate F76 escalator, GasOil 0.1%, Cargoes FOB Med Basis Italy.

C. The conversion factor 328.42 USG/Metric Ton is used to calculate JP5, JP8, and JA1 escalators, Jet Av. Fuel, Cargoes FOB Med Basis Italy.

D. The conversion factor 42 USG/Barrel is used to calculate prices cited in dollars per barrel, to include Gasoil (Asia), Gasoil (Arab Gulf, FOB), Jet Kerosene (Asia), and Jet Kerosene (Arab Gulf, FOB).

E. The conversion factor 274.09 USG/Metric Ton is used to calculate RME escalators under HSFO180CST Asia and 180CST Arab Gulf.

F. Prices that are cited in cents per gallon are converted to dollars per gallon by dividing by 100 and rounding to six (6) decimal places.

(2) Supplies shall be delivered to the destination consignee’s wharf (if destination is a port city and supplies are for export), warehouse unloading platform, or receiving dock, at the expense of the

Contractor.

Government acting in its contractual capacity. If rail carrier is used, supplies shall be delivered to the specified unloading platform of the consignee. If motor carrier (including “piggyback”) is used, supplies shall be delivered to truck tailgate at the unloading platform of the consignee, except when the supplies delivered meet the requirements of Item 568 of the National Motor Freight Classification for “heavy or bulky freight.” When supplies meeting the requirements of the referenced Item 568 are delivered, unloading (including movement to the tailgate) shall be performed by the consignee, with assistance from the truck driver, if requested. If the contractor uses rail carrier or freight forwarded for less than carload shipments, the contractor shall ensure that the carrier will furnish tailgate delivery, when required, if transfer to truck is required to complete delivery to consignee.

(b) The Contractor shall --

(1)

(i) Pack and mark the shipment to comply with contract specifications; or

(ii) In the absence of specifications, prepare the shipment in conformance with carrier requirements;

(2) Prepare and distribute commercial bills of lading;

(3) Deliver the shipment in good order and condition to the point of delivery specified in the contract;

(4) Be responsible for any loss of and/or damage to the goods occurring before receipt of the shipment by the consignee at the delivery point specified in the contract;

(5) Furnish a delivery schedule and designate the mode of delivering carrier; and

(6) Pay and bear all charges to the specified point of delivery.

(End of Clause)

FAR 52.247-45 -- F.O.B. Origin and/or F.O.B. Destination Evaluation (APR 1984)

Offers are invited on the basis of both f.o.b. origin and f.o.b. destination, and the Government will award on the basis the Contracting Officer determines to be most advantageous to the Government. An offer on the basis of f.o.b. origin only or f.o.b. destination only is acceptable, but will be evaluated only on the basis submitted.
