SECTION C- DESCRIPTIONS/SPECIFICATIONS

C-0001 C13, SIZE, SIZE CONSIST, AND PREPARATION (DLA ENERGY OCT 2016)

a) DEFINITIONS.

1). TOP SIZE. The sieve (screen) designating the upper limit or top size of a series of screens with the smallest openings upon which coal is cumulatively retained. This is cited as a percentage by weight of coal larger than the defined top size. This requirement is found in the Schedule section of the solicitation/contract (e.g., no more than 5% retained on a 1 ¼ inch screen). The defined top size is not to be confused with the size of the largest lot.

2). BOTTOM SIZE. The sieve (screen) designating the lower limit or bottom size of a series with the largest openings through which the coal passes. This is cited as a percentage by weight of coal smaller than the defined bottom size that passes through a defined bottom size screen. This requirement is found in the Schedule section of the solicitation/contract (e.g., no more than 15 percent passing through a ¼ inch screen). The defined bottom size is not to be confused with the size of the smallest particles in the lot.

b) TEST METHODS. The most recent versions of ASTM D4749 and D2013 shall be used to characterize the samples.

c) SIEVE APPARATUS.

In addition to conforming to all other specifications set forth in this contract, all coal delivered shall be substantially of the size or sizes specified, determined as follows:

1). In all double screened coal (known as prepared sizes), the maximum and/or minimum top size specified shall pass through a round hole perforated screen (or its equivalent), the perforations of which are equal in diameter to the maximum and/or minimum top size specified. The maximum and/or minimum bottom size specified shall be retained on a round hole perforated screen (or its equivalent), the perforations of which are equal in diameter to the maximum and/or minimum bottom size specified.

2). In all single screened coal (known as screenings, slack, or mechanically fired steam coal) the maximum and/or minimum top size specified shall pass through a round hole perforated screen (or its equivalent), the perforations of which are equal in diameter to the maximum and/or minimum top size specified. As single screened coal is purely a resultant product, no maximum and/or minimum bottom can be specified and no bottom screening required.

3). Where "crushed run of mine" or "crushed prepared sizes" are accepted upon award for screenings and/or slack coal as described in

(2) above, the maximum and/or minimum top sizes may be determined by adjusting the crusher to that position where the crushed product will not exceed the maximum top size or be less than the minimum top size required. Where such crushed coal is furnished, no screening is required. Run of mine coal shall be full of the mine with no sizes removed. The maximum size will be limited by the contract terms; and lumps exceeding that maximum size shall not be removed but shall be broken or crushed to come within the maximum size limitations.

d) SAMPLE SIZE.

1). When a definite size consist is required, the Schedule for coal will specify the minimum percentage for coal which will be retained or the maximum percentage of coal that will pass through the screen(s).

2). A size consist sample shall be no less than 1,000 pounds which shall be drawn in equal increments from not to exceed 5 carloads or truckloads of coal in any one shipment.

3). The size consist sample shall be drawn in equal increments from 9 points in the car(s) or truck(s). Lay out 3 diagonals (example: [\\\]

) across the car(s) or truck(s), beginning at the right front corner, diagonally across the car(s) or truck(s) to the other side. Three equally spaced collection points shall be designated for each diagonal. The first increments should be taken from the inside of the first diagonal {\\.\]. The 9th increment should be taken from the left rear corner of the 3rd diagonal in the car(s) or truck(s) [‘\\\].

e) SAMPLING. Where single screened and/or crushed coal of a definite size consist is required by the contract, all coal delivered there under shall meet or be better than the size consist specified in the Schedule for coal as determined and reported in accordance with ASTM D 4749, using Round-hole screens. Sampling will not be required if it is obvious upon a visual inspection that the coal fails to meet size consist requirements, and that fact is acknowledged by a Contractor’s representative. The screening test at the receiving activity shall be conclusive as to whether the size consist requirement has been met.

f) NOTIFICATION OF REJECTION AND SAMPLE RETENTION.

1). If the size consists of the car(s) or truck(s) is sampled and screened as described above and fails to meet the sizing required by the

Schedule, the coal may be rejected by the Contracting Officer, the Contractor will be required to remove the coal at its expense. As an alternative, coal rejected for noncompliance of size consist requirements may be accepted at an adjusted price recommended by the receiving activity and agreed to by the Contractor and the Contracting Officer.

2). The screened sample shall be retained in a protected place for seven full days, not counting the day the sample is screened, and shall be available for inspection by the Contractor and/or the Contracting Officer.

Example: Sample Screening Date: Nov 15 Holding Period: Nov 16-22 Destroy Sample: Nov 23

E-0002 E1.04, QUALITY PROVISIONS (COAL) (DLA ENERGY NOV 2007)

RESPONSIBILITY FOR INSPECTION. Unless otherwise specified in the contract, the Contractor is responsible for the performance of all inspection requirements as specified herein. Except as otherwise specified in the contract, the Contractor may use its own or any other facilities suitable for performance of the inspection requirements specified herein, unless disapproved by the Government. The Government reserves the right to perform any inspection deemed necessary to assure supplies and services conform to the contract specifications.

(a) QUALITY CONFORMANCE INSPECTION. Individual lots shall be examined as specified herein and subjected to tests for all requirements cited in the Schedule.

(b) INSPECTION LOT. A lot shall consist of a heterogeneous mixture of coal to be represented by a gross sample.

(c) SAMPLING.

(1) SAMPLING FOR VERIFICATION OF PRODUCT QUALITY. Each lot of coal shall be sampled for verification of product quality in accordance with ASTM D 2234, except as otherwise approved by the Contracting Officer's Quality Representative.

(2) GROSS SAMPLE. A gross sample is a sample representing one lot of coal and composed of a number of increments on which neither reduction nor division has been performed. One gross sample shall represent one lot of a quantity not to exceed 1,000 tons. FOR ALASKA:

One gross sample shall represent one lot of no greater than 10,000 tons. Collect samples in accordance with ASTM D 2234 except that the number of increments collected shall be based on the lot size and shipment loading particulars according to the following schedule: One sample increment shall be taken systematically by the “full-stream cut” condition.

(3) INCREMENT. An increment is a small portion of the lot collected by one operation of a sampling device and normally combined with other increments from the lot to make a gross sample.

(4) INCREMENT COLLECTION CLASSIFICATION.

(i) The type of increment to be collected from the bulk lot shall be Type I as defined in ASTM D 2234.

(ii) The condition of increment collection shall be either Condition A or Condition B as defined in ASTM D 2234.

(iii) The spacing of increments shall be Systematic 1 as defined in ASTM D 2234 and be distributed throughout the entire lot.

(iv) The number and weight of the increments shall be as specified in Table 2 of ASTM D 2234. For example, raw coal with a top size of 2" will require a minimum of 35 increments taken systematically by either "stop-belt" or "moving stream" "condition" from the lot of 1,000 tons or less. Each increment shall weigh a minimum of six pounds.

FOR ALASKA. For purposes of determining size consist, the sampling procedure for stop-belt samples shall be as follows: A size consist sample shall be one stop-belt, two increment samples of a minimum of 25 pounds each. Two increments shall be collected each time the belt is stopped and the belt shall be stopped at least once for every 1,000 tons of coal. The total number of stop-belts shall not exceed three per lot. If the daily total quantity shipped is between 1,000 and 1,500 tons, a second stop-belt will be taken. For example, if the total tonnage shipped to the U.S. Government installations totals 1,140 tons for the day, then two stop-belts with two incremental samples/stop-belt shall be required. For each day’s lot of coal, the first pair of stop-belts shall be taken at approximately 500 tons with successive pairs taken at approximately 1,000-ton intervals thereafter for a maximum of six incremental samples per lot. Each pair of samples shall be taken as far apart as practical between the tripper and the end of the A-Frame building.

(5) MECHANICAL COAL SAMPLING. (i) In response to this solicitation, Contractors proposing to use mechanical sampling equipment to satisfy the collection method for condition B, full stream cut as defined in ASTM D 2234, must include with the offer a detailed description of the sampling procedures, including drawings and operating instructions.

(ii) Contractor's written procedures, will also describe whether this sample method is ASTM approved (or equivalent) and complies with the collection criteria in D 2234 for obtaining a gross sample of coal.

(iii) Mechanical coal sampling systems, procedures and operations related thereto are subject to surveillance by the Quality Representative (QR) and must be acceptable to the Government. The Government's acceptance will be based on an evaluation of the above data and the recommendation/checklist submitted by the QR in accordance with ASTM D 4702.

(d) PREPARING COAL SAMPLES FOR ANALYSIS. The gross sample shall be prepared for analysis in accordance with ASTM D 2013.

(e) TEST METHODS. The standard test methods used for coal to determine conformance to chemical and physical requirements of the contract shall be conducted in accordance with ASTM standards listed in Table I:
