B-0002 B19.33 Economic Price Adjustment – Published Market Price – DLA Energy Domestic Bulk. (DLA Energy JUNE 2017)

ECONOMIC PRICE ADJUSTMENT -- PUBLISHED MARKET PRICE - DLA ENERGY DOMESTIC BULK (JUNE 2017)

(a) Warranties. The Contractor warrants that—

(1) The base unit prices set forth in the Schedule do not include allowances for any portion of the contingency covered by this contract text; and

(2) The prices to be invoiced shall be computed in accordance with the wording of this contract text.

(b) Definitions. As used throughout this contract text, the term—

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

(2) Market price means the price to be used in determining an economic price adjustment of the base unit price of an individual product for the market area and time period specified in this contract text. The market price is derived from quotes, assessments, or sales prices in the market place for one or several items or commodity groups as reported in a consistent manner in a publication, electronic data base, or other form, as determined by an independent trade association, governmental body, or other third party independent of the Contractor.

(i) Base market price means the price as shown in Column V of the table below, which is the market price from which economic price adjustments are calculated pursuant to this contract text.

(ii) Adjusting market price means the market price for deliveries during the most recent period, as defined in the table below.

(3) Date of delivery is defined as follows:

(i) For tanker or barge deliveries.

(A) Free on board (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) Subject to the wording of this contract text, the price payable shall be the base unit price in effect on the date of delivery increased or decreased by the same number of cents, or fraction thereof, that the adjusting market price applicable at date of delivery increases or decreases, per like unit of measure, from the base market price.

(2) Calculations. All calculations shall be rounded to six decimal places.

(3) Modifications. Any resultant price changes to the base market price and base unit price shall be executed by the Contracting Officer through a weekly price adjustment modification effective each Tuesday.

(4) Failure to deliver. Notwithstanding any other wording of this contract text, 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.

(5) Upward ceiling on economic price adjustment. The Contractor agrees that the total increase in any contract unit price, pursuant to these economic price adjustment contract texts shall not exceed (Note 1) percent of the original base unit price in any applicable program year (whether a single year or multiyear program), 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 wording of this contract text 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 which 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 established market 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.

(6) Revision of market price indicator. In the event—

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

or

(ii) The Contracting Officer determines that the market price indicator consistently and substantially fails to reflect market conditions,-the parties shall mutually agree upon an appropriate and comparable substitute and 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 contract text of this contract.

(d) Conversion factors. If this contract text requires quantity conversions for economic price adjustment purposes, the conversion factors for applicable products, as specified in the DLA Energy conversion factor instruction, apply unless otherwise specified in the Schedule.

(e) Examination of records. The Contractor agrees that the Contracting Officer or designated representative shall have the right to examine the Contractor's books, records, documents, or other data the Contracting Officer deems necessary to verify Contractor adherence to the wording of this contract text.

(i) If a Contractor has legally changed its business name, “doing business as” name, or division name (whichever is shown on the contract), or has transferred the assets used in performing the contract, but has not completed the necessary requirements regarding novation and change-of-name agreements in Subpart 42.12, the Contractor shall provide the responsible Contracting Officer a minimum of one business day’s written notification of its intention to:

(i) Any such clause is unenforceable against the Government.

(ii) Neither the Government nor any Government authorized end user shall be deemed to have agreed to such clause by virtue of it appearing in the EULA, TOS, or similar legal instrument or agreement. If the EULA, TOS, or similar https://www.acquisition.gov/ legal instrument or agreement is invoked through an “I agree” click box or other comparable mechanism (e.g., “click-wrap” or “browse-wrap” agreements), execution does not bind the Government or any Government authorized end user to such clause.

(iii) Any such clause is deemed to be stricken from the EULA, TOS, or similar legal instrument or agreement.

(2) Paragraph (u)(1) of this clause does not apply to indemnification by the Government that is expressly authorized by statute and specifically authorized under applicable agency regulations and procedures.
