NOTES:
A. FOR EVALUATION PURPOSES ONLY: DLA ENERGY will add 5 days to offered FOB Origin tanker lift intervals and 3 days to offered FOB Origin 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, DLA ENERGY 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 delivery for a specific product.
