The Performance Work Statement (PWS) is incorporated by reference as if fully set forth herein.

Refer to Attachment I of this solicitation.

SUPPLEMENT: SECURITY AND FIRE PROTECTION

(a) The entire facility shall be enclosed by a fence suitable to deter unauthorized access. The fence shall be fitted with gates that may be padlocked when not in use.

(b) A method of visitor and entrance control will be in effect. A visitor register shall be maintained.

(c) An internal, self-powered communication system linking all critical points of the facility, capable of serving both as an alarm system and for conduct of terminal operation, will be in use.

(d) A water supply and firefighting equipment conforming to National Fire Protection Association and American Petroleum Institute standards will be maintained. At locations outside the United States, other standards may be used with prior approval of the Contracting Officer.

(e) In the event of an emergency at a CONUS COCO terminal, the Contractor shall seek the assistance of the following as appropriate: local ambulance service; local fire department; local, county, and State police; regional office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation; Secret Service;

U.S. Marshal's Service; and the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

SUPPLEMENT: REMOVAL OF WATER BOTTOMS

Storage tanks for DLA Energy use shall be equipped with positive water sumps for removal of all water bottoms. All storage tanks shall be drained of water a minimum of once each week and whenever storage tank gauging indicates water is present. (Weekly water drainage is necessary because the datum plate may not necessarily be the low point in the storage tank. Water could possibly accumulate below the datum plate and not show up in the gauging process.)

Additionally, all storage tanks shall be drained of water prior to any transfer of fuel and after a minimum of 4 hours or maximum of 24 hours settling time following each product receipt.

Storage tanks equipped with floating roofs shall be gauged for water after each rain and drained if water is found present. Product and water levels shall be gauged before and after the draining of water. Water gauges of each storage tank shall be taken and recorded each time it is gauged for product. (Each storage tank shall be equipped with a fuel/water separation system for collection of all product or water dispensed from its bottom water drain(s). This system shall have the capability to return separated product back into the same storage tank.)

SUPPLEMENT: SAMPLING AND TESTING OF PETROLEUM PRODUCTS

(STORAGE)

(a) SAMPLING. The samples identified in the solicitation attachment entitled MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS FOR STORAGE SAMPLING AND TESTING are a required part of the services to be provided. The Contractor must provide these samples using qualified personnel, facilities, and equipment on-site and shall include all associated costs in the monthly service charge. These on-site resources may be provided by Contractor personnel or by a commercial source acting on behalf of the Contractor. The Quality Representative will not be responsible for taking any samples for the Contractor. All samples must be taken in accordance with ASTM D 4057, Standard Practice for Manual Sampling of Petroleum and Petroleum Products (API Manual of Petroleum Measurement Standards (MPMS), Chapter 8.1).

(b) TESTING. The tests identified in this solicitation attachment entitled MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS FOR STORAGE SAMPLING AND TESTING are a required part of the services to be provided. Those tests identified in the attachment which are part of a higher order analysis (defined as follows: Composite Samples, Storage Tanks After Receipt, Interface Mixture, Dormant Stocks, and Individual Tests, including particulate contamination) shall be provided by the Contractor using one of the following options (the Contractor shall check the appropriate box below):

[ ] The Contractor will perform the tests using its own qualified personnel, facilities, and equipment. (All costs for this service are to be included in the monthly service charge.)

[ ] The Contractor will not perform the tests using its own personnel, but will provide on a seven days per week, 24 hours a day basis, it’s own facilities and equipment for testing of product by Government personnel. (All costs for this service are to be included in the monthly service charge.)

[ ] The Contractor will not provide its own personnel, facilities, or equipment. Instead, the Contractor will, within 24 hours after sampling, transport any sample(s) to a commercial laboratory approved by the Government and arrange for that commercial laboratory to perform all the required tests. The Government, at its own option, may direct that samples be tested at a Government laboratory under contract to the Government. In this case, transport of such samples is still the responsibility of the Contractor. (The Government will reimburse the Contractor for the actual costs of the tests performed by their commercial laboratory. All other associated costs must be included in the monthly service charge.)

(c) All facilities and equipment to be provided, whether that of a Contractor or a commercial laboratory, must conform to the standards for such facilities and equipment established by the Occupational Safety and Health Act and the National Fire Protection Association or local regulations, whichever is more stringent.

(b) The Contractor shall protect and preserve such property in a manner consistent with sound industrial practice.

(c) At the end of the contract period the Government may abandon any Government-owned petroleum products in place, at which time all obligations of the Government regarding such abandoned petroleum products shall cease.

(d) The Contractor shall not be liable for loss of or damage to such property while in the possession of or under the custody of the Contractor by reason of this contract, or for expenses incidental to such loss or damage, except that the Contractor shall be liable for any such loss or damage (including expenses incidental thereto)--

The Contractor shall immediately notify DLA Energy when Contractor personnel with access privileges no longer work at the contract facility or no longer require access.

(B) If the vessel is tendered for unloading later than 12:00 noon of the day following the last scheduled arrival date, the vessel shall be unloaded in its proper turn with other vessels.

(iii) Laytime shall commence either (A) at the expiration of the notice period prescribed in subparagraph (ii) above, berth or no berth, or (B) immediately when the vessel moors alongside, with or without notice of readiness, whichever occurs first.
