1 OVERVIEWRecently a new environmental rule was enacted intending to minimize the impact of a spill in a marine environment. This new rule adds new demands to marine refuelers; lubricant and bilge pump service providers. Accordingly, a separate contract has become necessary to address these new rules and requirements, most immediately needed to address the mobile marine refueling requirements of Washington State Ferries (WSF), which this contract will address.

1.1 SCOPEThe purpose of this effort is to establish a Marine Refueling, Lubricant & Bilge Pump Services umbrella contract. Besides conforming to all relevant rules, regulations, laws and industry standard best practices, the state expects Contractor to play a leadership role in maximizing efficiencies and economies in performing these services. To that end, the state endeavors to partner with the most conscientious marine refueling, lubricant and bilge pump service providers who are committed and capable of optimizing the state’s marine refueling, lubricant and bilge pump service needs. The first contract only targeted mobile marine refueling services.

Be advised, that the state may (at a later date) add other services which may include but is not limited to:

Barge marine refueling services Fixed facility marine refueling services Lubricant delivery services in a marine environment Bilge Pump maintenance services in a marine environment

In so doing, terms and conditions specific to these services may be incorporated into this contract.

1.2 CONTRACT DESIGNATIONThis contract has been designated “MANDATORY” use for state agencies requiring marine refueling; lubricant, or bilge pump services and “CONVEINIENCE” use for all other authorize contract users.

1.3 TERM OF CONTRACTThe initial term of this contract is 2-years from date of award with the option to extend for additional term(s) or portions thereof. Extension for each additional term shall be offered at the sole discretion of the State and are subject to written mutual agreement. The total contract term, including the initial term and all subsequent extensions, shall not exceed 10-years unless an emergency exists and/or special circumstances require a partial term extension. The State reserves the right to extend the Contractor, solely determined by the State.

1.4 ESTIMATED USAGE – MOBILE MARINE REFUELING SERVICESBased on past and/or projected usage, it is estimated that the mobile marine refueling purchases will approximate 11,800,000 gallons of fuel annually. This is solely an estimate and the state will not guarantee volume commitments. Orders will be placed only on an as needed basis.

1.5 PURCHASERSMarine refueling services are intended to address the unique requirements of WSF but other authorized purchasers may utilize this contract to satisfy their marine refueling and maintenance service needs. Authorized purchasers will be those agencies requiring marine refueling, lubricant,

Page 7: STATE OF WASHINGTON - Access Washington Home · Web viewA list of Washington members is available at: Contract Terms: This Document includes excerpts of terms and conditions published

Current Contract Information Contract No.: 02207 for Marine RefuelingPage 7

or bilge pump services, and is available to higher education, and political subdivisions who are members of the State of Washington Purchasing Cooperative (WSPC). Contractor(s) shall not process contract orders from unauthorized purchasers. A list of WSPC members can be found via the web at: https://fortress.wa.gov/ga/apps/coop/Default.aspx . The state accepts no responsibility for payment by WSPC members.

1.6 COST MITIGATION STRATEGIESIn accordance with sec. 608 of ESSB 6091, the State reserves the right to employ various cost mitigation strategies (i.e. hedging) in acquiring fuel via our Contractor. These strategies may include but are not limited to futures contracts, swap transactions, option contracts, costless collars, and long-term storage at no additional costs to our Contractor. The cost mitigation strategies are intended to reduce overall fuel costs and offer our customers an improved level of budgetary certainty when procuring fuel. The Office of State Procurement in consultation with The State Treasurer and the State Investment Board are to explore and implement these cost mitigation strategies as feasible. These financial instruments are to be offered to our customers on an “elect to use” basis and be in compliance with our customers’ bylaws and/or regulations. Customers must receive written approval from the State Contract Administrator before utilizing these financial instruments via this contract and the state accepts no responsibility for payment for the financial services provided to contract users. Customers who elect to utilize these cost mitigation strategies may be charged a fee or other funding mechanisms may be applied to cover the cost of deployment of these cost mitigation strategies.

1.7 CONTRACTOR QUALIFICATIONS The Contractor is an authorized supplier of the fuel to be delivered with facilities, personnel, equipment, certifications and or approvals as required to successfully perform and comply with all contractual requirements and hereby signifies compliance of these requirements will be met. The state reserves the right to request supporting documentation, conduct a site visit and or schedule a meeting to seek clarification to validate claims of qualification compliance. Additionally, the Contractor may be required to provide copies of their fuel supply contract(s) or letter from their supplier(s) (on supplier’s letterhead) showing they have sufficient sources and volumes of fuel available to satisfactorily perform in accordance to contract terms and conditions. The Contractor shall have the capability of fulfilling contract terms within 5-business days of award notification.

1.8 ORDER QUANTITIESThere will be no minimum order quantities as the service fee is expected to cover costs normally associated to a typical delivery (other than fuel costs) irregardless of the amount of fuel delivered.

2 MARINE REFUELING SERVICES

2.1 BULK MARINE REFUELING SERVICESMarine refueling services are intended to address the unique requirements of WSF but other authorized purchasers may utilize this contract to satisfy their marine refueling and maintenance service needs. Although WSF has historically purchased much of their fuel via the dock, many of WSF vessels also utilize either a truck & trailer combination or a tank wagon for refueling. In such cases, the delivery vehicle will board the vessel where the fuel is then unloaded. Besides

Page 8: STATE OF WASHINGTON - Access Washington Home · Web viewA list of Washington members is available at: Contract Terms: This Document includes excerpts of terms and conditions published

Current Contract Information Contract No.: 02207 for Marine RefuelingPage 8

conforming to the standard contract terms as defined herein, the following will be applicable to marine refueling services:

a) U. S. Coast Guard Regulations & Environmental RegulationsThe mobile marine refueling Contractor (and or the Contractor’s designated subcontractor) is required to be certified by the U.S. Coast Guard and the Department of Ecology (DOE). The Contractor may be asked for proof of this certification (a copy of the U.S. Coast Guard-stamped page of Contractor’s safety manual and a copy of the DOE Operations Manual approval letter will be considered acceptable proof). Furthermore, the marine refueling, lubricant and bilge pump Contractor shall comply with all (current and any future) applicable U.S. Coast Guard and Department of Ecology regulations. Additionally, the marine refueling and lubricant Contractor must furnish relevant hardware which includes but is not limited to proper sized U.S. Coast Guard approved hose and fittings.

Throughout the contract life, Contractor and approved subcontractors are responsible for maintaining their Coast Guard and DOE certifications. Failure to do so may result in contract termination and liquidated damages may be imposed.

b) Spill Response Compliance DrillsIf in the course of a refueling a regulatory authority (i.e. U.S. Cost Guard or Department of Ecology) directs the Contractor to demonstrate compliance of a rule or regulation, the cost of performing the drill may be passed on to the customer (as a line item on the invoice) only if the regulatory authority determines that compliance has been met.

Should a spill response compliance drill occur during fueling for a State authorized purchaser, Contractor shall:

a. Obtain appropriate regulatory approval that compliance has been met (from USCG or DOE)

b. Obtain an invoice from the OSRO provider including response cost detailsc. Submit to customer Contractor’s invoice for the spill drill response d. Attach a copy of the OSRO provider invoice to Contractor’s invoice

The customer shall not be responsible for Contractor’s OSRO "stand by" costs.

c) Additions/DeletionsThe state reserves the right to add or remove vessels or service delivery sites. Whenever possible, customers are to provide at least 30-days advance notice of a deletion. Although Contractor’s Oil Price Information Service (OPIS) price multiplier is to remain firm, the fixed service fee for any new location is to be negotiated and be comparable to the Contractor’s already established service fees with regard to contract additions.

d) Standby FeeWSF will make every reasonable effort to ensure that vessels arrive at the terminal on time to receive fuel deliveries. However, unexpected or unavoidable delays occasionally occur. The Contractor’s service fee (coupled with the fuel pricing) is expected to cover all normal costs associated to a mobile marine refueling and is to include ¾ hour of free standby time for each marine delivery. Unless otherwise indicated in the demand profile price worksheets, additional

Page 9: STATE OF WASHINGTON - Access Washington Home · Web viewA list of Washington members is available at: Contract Terms: This Document includes excerpts of terms and conditions published

Current Contract Information Contract No.: 02207 for Marine RefuelingPage 9

delivery time (as a result of delays beyond ¾ hours) may be charged for at a rate of $75.00/hour, broken into ⅓ hour increments ($25 per 20 minutes). To receive compensation for standby, the charges are to be identified on the invoice as a separate line item and the customer representative must identify on the bill of lading the length of delay beyond the free ¾ hour standby time. In the unlikely event that WSF turns the Contractor away from a scheduled delivery (for reasons unrelated to the Contractor’s control) the Contractor may bill the customer the amount of the already established service fee. In such cases, the customer representative is to make note on the bill of lading that the refueling was refused.

e) Emergency Delivery FeeIn the event of an emergency, the Contractor will be required to fulfill an emergency bulk delivery within 6-hours of a verbal, electronic, written or faxed order. Emergency orders are to be top priority and the Contractor must be equipped and prepared to successfully fulfill an emergency delivery 7-days a week, 24-hours a day. The fixed emergency delivery fee for an Emergency Delivery is $1.00 and is to be added to the invoice as a separate line item following the fulfillment of an emergency order.

2.2 FUEL TYPESAchieving economies by streamlining the fuel types the state uses and advancing the use of biodiesel are strategic goals of the state. This will require coordination with Contractor and the exchange of strategic information. Whenever possible, it is the state’s intention to provide marine refueling Contractor with at least 30-days advance notice of a major shift in fuel selection or additions. So that Contractor can best plan and position themselves for this opportunity, a discussion of the state’s overall marine refueling strategy for each type of fuel follows:

a) GasolineAt this time the state has no reason to expect that bulk gasoline refueling will be needed in the marine environment.

b) DieselThe type of diesel fuel to be supplied to WSF vessels shall be Ultra-Low Sulfur Dyed Diesel Fuel #2 15 ppm meeting product specifications established by ASTM-D975 (latest version) and the Olympic Pipe Line Company for this grade of fuel. On a limited basis and with prior approval of WSF, dyed low sulfur diesel fuel #2 500 ppm (NRLM distillate) may be substituted to deal with unanticipated temporary terminal problems provided the diesel supplied meets specifications established by ASTM-D975 (latest version).

c) BiodieselIn the performance of this Contract, the Contractor plans to load fuel delivery trucks at Shell Oil Company’s truck loading rack located on Harbor Island in Seattle. Several of Shell’s truck loading racks are currently able to supply a B5 blend of biodiesel. This facility currently provides a B5 biodiesel using an in-line or ratio blending of a B100 soy-based (SME) biofuel at 5% with a 95% blend of ULSD. Red dye is also injected to meet diesel fuel dying standards. In the future, this facility may also be able to offer a B10 or B20 blend of these fuels should WSF request the supply of one of these biodiesel blends. However, if Shell’s truck loading facility should temporarily be out of service, Contract may load comparable biodiesel from an alternate Seattle refiner’s truck loading rack should one be available.

Page 10: STATE OF WASHINGTON - Access Washington Home · Web viewA list of Washington members is available at: Contract Terms: This Document includes excerpts of terms and conditions published

Current Contract Information Contract No.: 02207 for Marine RefuelingPage 10

d) Dyed DieselWSF as well as other customers who operate highway maintenance vehicles, publicly owned fire fighting equipment, and public transportation systems are authorized to purchase red dyed diesel fuel which is exempt from federal and state highway taxes. Therefore the state anticipates that the bulk of all diesels to be purchased will be dyed and the purchase of clear fuel via this contact must be pre-approved by the State Contract Administrator.

e) Future fuel typesBecause the OPIS price index will serve as the basis for establishing contract pricing and multipliers are to be applied to corresponding family of fuels, then the introduction of any new fuel type tracked by OPIS may (at the discretion of the state) be added to the contract. In the unlikely event fuel types other than diesel will need to be added to this contract, the state will negotiate with the Contractor the addition and OPIS multiplier.

f) Additives/Conditioners/TreatmentsAt the purchaser's request, Contractor may be required to supply and blend a fuel additive, conditioner or treatment products to the fuel purchased. The price charged for additives, conditioners or treatments shall not exceed the lowest price charged by the Contractor to other purchasers and the prices are to be comparable to current market rates of other suppliers. At the customer’s request, the Contractor is to provide supporting documentation to validate contract price compliance.

3 PRICINGContract pricing for refueling services will incorporate a SERVICE FEE coupled with FUEL PRICING methodology and together these two pricing components are expected to cover all costs associated to a marine refueling. So as to insulate the Contractor(s) from the impact of any modifications to fuel related taxes and fees (i.e. first possessor fees or hazmat fees), all fuel related taxes and fees are to be added to invoices on a pass through basis and identified the invoices as a separate line item. Below is an overview of how fuel prices will be calculated and how the service fees will be applied.

3.1 FUEL PRICINGFuel prices will be allowed to increase or decrease during the life of the contract and the OPIS DAILY “CONTRACT” AVERAGE rack prices (correlated to the actual delivery date) will serve as the basis for establishing contract fuel prices. With the possible exception of biodiesel, no other price change publication shall be considered. Below is a table identifying the OPIS reference city for mobile marine refueling terminals and the OPIS reference city will be used to establish fuel prices for all deliveries located in that terminal irregardless of where the Contractor sources the fuel to be delivered.

3.2 MOBILE MARINE REFUELING OPIS RACK REFERENCE CITIES Below are the OPIS Rack Reference Cities that are to be used to establish contract fuel prices for the WSF terminals listed below. All other mobile refueling services are to use the Rack Reference City (either Anacortes or Tacoma) closest to the actual delivery site.

Region OPIS Reference CityClinton/Mukilteo AnacortesAnacortes AnacortesFauntleroy TacomaPort Townsend TacomaBremerton TacomaPoint Defiance Tacoma

3.3 OPIS DAILY POSTINGThe state will make available to our customers the OPIS daily contract averages for the purpose of validating contract prices have been correctly calculated. If it appears that an error has occurred with regard to an OPIS posting, the state shall contact the publisher for clarification and the corrected price shall be applicable. Contractor(s) shall be required to maintain their own subscription to OPIS in order to correctly prepare invoices.

3.4 BIODIESEL PRICINGThe product reference price for a biodiesel blend of dyed ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel #2 and soy based biofuel shall be the OPIS published daily Tacoma, Seattle, WA “CONT AVG” rack price for the specific biodiesel blend ordered and delivered. (However, if there was no OPIS published price on the day of delivery, the most current previously published price shall be used, i.e. for a Saturday or Sunday delivery the prior Friday published price would be used.) For example, if a B5 blend of soy (SME) and ULSD dyed number 2 diesel had been delivered on March 27, 2009, the corresponding OPIS rack and product price would have been $1.6432/gallon for “CONT AVG” under the column titled “LSN2D ULTRA” for the Tacoma, Seattle, WA rack for “OPIS GROSS WHOLESALE B5 SME BIODIESEL PRICES” for the date of 03/07/2009. This published price already reflects any applicable “blender tax credit.”

3.5 SERVICE FEEA fixed service fee for all delivery sites is identified in the price worksheets. The service fee is to be charged (and added to each invoice as a separate line item) for each refueling event irregardless of the amount of fuel delivered. The fuel price coupled with the service fee is expected to cover all costs that are normally associated to a refueling and the fulfillment of contract terms. However, an emergency delivery fee and standby fee may also be applied to marine refueling when applicable (see section 2.1).

3.6 ORDER QUANTITIESThere will be no minimum order quantities as the service fee is expected to cover costs normally associated to a typical delivery (other than fuel costs) irregardless of the amount of fuel delivered.

4 INVOICING REQUIREMENTS

4.1 INVOICESThe state recognizes payment delays can be costly but Contractor should also recognize that the inability to readily validate contract pricing has been correctly calculated and that delivery terms have been fulfill is the primary cause of payment delays. Therefore, so as to streamline invoice audits and to empower Contractor to get paid more quickly, all invoices are to be accompanied

Page 13: STATE OF WASHINGTON - Access Washington Home · Web viewA list of Washington members is available at: Contract Terms: This Document includes excerpts of terms and conditions published

Current Contract Information Contract No.: 02207 for Marine RefuelingPage 13

with all supporting documentation needed to readily verify that contract prices have been correctly calculated and delivery terms have been met. This may include but may not be limited to:

a) A copy of the applicable OPIS posting used to calculate contract pricingb) A copy of the meter ticket or bill of lading as applicablec) Record of before & after delivery stick level readings d) Delivery receipt signed by the appropriate customer representative e) Copy of a detailed OSRO provider invoice for all spill response compliance drills

Invoices (as well as supporting documentation) are to be sent to the customer within 3-business days of the delivery and electronic invoices (preferably in an excel format) are to be followed up with hard copies. To ensure that invoices are processed in a timely manner Contractor must be diligent in preparing invoices as incorrect invoices may be returned unpaid for correction, reissue, and will likely result in delayed payments.

5 DELIVERY REQUIREMENTS

5.1 QUALITY STANDARDS Marine refueling services will be initiated on an as needed basis but may include on-going regularly scheduled deliveries. The following shall apply to all deliveries:

a) Deliveries are to be made in a professional manner and in accordance with industry standard best practices. The Contractor shall comply with all applicable laws, ordinances, permits, and not unreasonably encumber the premises with equipment, materials and personnel. Delivery sites are to be kept free of the accumulation of waste, spillage or other debris caused by the delivery and the unloading of the fuel.

b) Tanks are to be filled in accordance with industry standard best practices and are not to be overfilled such that tank monitoring equipment malfunctions. The customer will be allowed to deduct any costs associated to resetting a tank’s monitoring equipment from the invoice should an overfill cause the equipment to malfunction.

c) The Contractor has the responsibility to verify delivery schedules. If the Contractor arrives outside the scheduled delivery time and is unable to or denied access to making the delivery, the customer shall incur no expense and the Contractor assumes all liabilities and responsibility for that attempted delivery.

d) If the customer and the Contractor arrange a mutually agreeable delivery date and time and the Contractor is unable to fulfill the delivery because no customer representative was available (within ¾ hour of the agreed upon time) the Contractor may bill the customer the service fee and then reschedule the delivery.

5.2 SAFETY STANDARDS The handling of the fuel shall comply with all applicable safety laws and standards of the State of Washington and standards established by the United States Department of Homeland Security, United States Department of Transportation, the United States Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA), accepted industry practices, and City/County requirements.

5.3 SECURITY All on-site service personnel used to service these accounts must comply with customer security requirements prior to making any fuel deliveries under this contract.

a) WSF requirements for access control

Consistent with applicable federal regulations and the Coast Guard approved WSF security plan, all WSF delivery sites are considered restricted areas for security purposes.  Contractor shall be considered a WSF vendor and will need to follow established protocols for vendor security.  All delivery personnel will have to make application for, and obtain, a Transportation Worker's Identification Credential (TWIC) from the Federal Transportation Security Administration, which involves a criminal background check before access can be granted or would have to be fully escorted by a person holding a TWIC throughout the delivery process.  During periods of elevated maritime security threat levels, as determined by the U.S. Coast Guard, additional operational restrictions may be imposed.  The customer is to

Page 15: STATE OF WASHINGTON - Access Washington Home · Web viewA list of Washington members is available at: Contract Terms: This Document includes excerpts of terms and conditions published

Current Contract Information Contract No.: 02207 for Marine RefuelingPage 15

coordinate security activities and provide the Contractor sufficient advance notification of changes.

b) Additional Specific Requirements

The Maritime Transportation Security Act (MTSA) implementing regulations require WSF to know who is accessing their property, and for what purpose.  To comply with the regulations, WSF’s Alternative Security Plan calls for the following:

I. Vendor/Contractor Employee Identification Lists .  Fuel vendors are to submit and maintain an accurate list of all employees who will be delivering fuel to WSF sites.  The list must also contain the name of the company contact persons, and contact phone numbers are good for any time period when one of their employees may be working at a WSF facility.  Specifically, the above vendor/contractor information must be sent to:

Mr. Edmund (Ned) KileyWashington State Ferries Security Officer2911 Second AvenueSeattle, WA  98121-1080Or emailed to: [email protected]

This list of employee names will be supplied to the WSF Operation Center Watch Supervisors, Terminal Supervisors, and Terminal Sellers who may reference the list when vendor/contractor employees need access to WSF facilities. 

II. Vendor/Contractor Employee I.D. Cards .  Vendor employees are to present picture identification to a WSF Terminal Seller every time they seek entry onto WSF property.  The identification must comply with U.S. Coast Guard I.D. requirements, in that it must:- Contain the full name of the individual;- Contain a photograph clearly depicting the person’s current facial features;- Contain the name of the issuing organization; and- Be laminated, or constructed of some other material so as to be tamper resistant.

NOTE: Most states’ drivers’ licenses fulfill U.S.C.G. identification requirements and are therefore acceptable means of identification at WSF.

III. Vendor/Contractor Parking Pass .  Should a vendor/contractor’s services require parking on a WSF terminal, the Terminal Seller will issue the employee a disposable parking pass that, when displayed, allows the vehicle to be parked at the terminal on the day of issue for the time duration services are being provided.  A pass must be obtained each time the vendor’s vehicle enters the facility.  Any vehicle not displaying a parking pass is subject to tow at owner’s risk and expense.

NOTE:  All vehicles entering a WSF facility are subject to security screening by Washington State Patrol personnel.

IV. Restricted Areas.   All areas on WSF terminals and vessels that are not considered public access areas shall be designated with conspicuous signs as restricted areas.  Restricted areas will be locked, barricaded or otherwise physically delineated.  Fuel vendor employees needing to enter a restricted area to provide services will need to be granted access by a

Page 16: STATE OF WASHINGTON - Access Washington Home · Web viewA list of Washington members is available at: Contract Terms: This Document includes excerpts of terms and conditions published

Current Contract Information Contract No.: 02207 for Marine RefuelingPage 16

WSF employee.  Fuel vendor employees may be asked to present picture identification prior to entering a restricted area even if they previously showed identification upon entrance to the terminal.  Vendor/contractor employees should not attempt to enter a restricted area without the permission/direction of a WSF representative.  An unauthorized person in a restricted area constitutes a reportable breach of security that must be communicated to the U.S. Coast Guard.

NOTE: When the vehicle traffic arm at the head of the vehicle transfer span is in the down position the transfer span is a restricted area.  Access to the vessel past the traffic arm is only allowed with permission from a WSF representative.

c) WSF security requirements for fuel delivery

Another requirement mandated by regulation is the need to ensure all materials taken aboard terminals and vessels are checked for appropriateness prior to being brought onboard.  In addition to checking picture identification of the vendor employees delivering goods to WSF facilities, WSF’s security measures also require all fuel delivery to be checked against the order request form to ensure the fuel was legitimately ordered for that particular vessel.

Fuel deliveries will be according to a prearranged schedule.  Upon arrival of the fuel truck at the terminal, WSF shall personally verify the driver’s identity, using the approved photo identification to ensure that it matches the expected driver on the schedule or the driver given by the WSF Operations center if there is a deviation from the schedule.  Upon verification of the driver’s identity, and with the approval of the Person in Charge the fuel or oil truck will be allowed to access the vessel.

If the driver’s identity does not match any of the company employees in the vendor data base, the fuel or oil delivery will be denied until such time that the vendor can appropriately verify the driver’s identity through coordination with the Operations Center Watch Supervisor.  If fuel or bulk lube oil has not been ordered, the Person in Charge shall refuse acceptance until appropriate verification can be established.  At higher Marine Security (MARSEC) Levels additional restrictions may be imposed including the need for two pieces of identification.

5.4 NEGLIGENCE The Contractor assumes all liability and responsibilities for the handling and transportation of the fuel until it has been successfully placed in the storage tank(s) and the Contractor has vacated the delivery site. The Contractor shall be responsible for any and all damage to buildings and/or properties caused by delivery trucks, operating personnel and damages or services necessitated by the failure to deliver fuel or the delivery of faulty product and equipment. Any repair or clean up services shall be made at the Contractor's expense and to the satisfaction of the customer. If the Contractor fails to comply with these requirements within a reasonable time, the customer may deem it expedient to repair damages and perform the necessary services at the expense of the Contractor. Should the fuel be negligently unloaded into the wrong tank (i.e. diesel fuel into a gasoline storage tank), the Contractor is responsible for the immediate removal, cleaning and replacement of both products and liable for any resulting damage.

Current Contract Information Contract No.: 02207 for Marine RefuelingPage 17

5.5 SPILL RESPONSIBILITIESThe Contractor is solely responsible for any and all spills, leaks or releases, which occur as a result of, or are contributed to by, the actions of its agents, employees, or subcontractors. Therefore, the Contractor is expected to take all measures as required by law to prevent fuel spills (which includes but is not limited to, any spilling, leaking, pumping, pouring, emitting, emptying, or dumping into or onto any land or water). In the event of a fuel spill, leak, or release, the Contractor shall be responsible for the required notifications, containment, clean up, and disposal of the oil spilled and agrees to take the following actions:

a) If warranted, evacuate and warn those persons that may be affected by the spill.b) Immediately contact the appropriate Emergency Response Agencies as required.c) Notify the appropriate customer representative of the spill.d) Clean up the spill in a manner that complies with federal, state and local laws,

regulations, rules and standards.e) For spills, that occur other than on a customer’s owned or leased property; provide all

notifications and reports as specified by federal, state and local laws, regulations, rules, standards and permits.

f) Complete all required spill prevention training (at the Contractor’s expense).g) Supply all required spill management and prevention equipment.

Note: Although the Contractor will be responsible for supplying all spill management and prevention equipment, WSF has pre-staged 2000 feet of spill containment boom at nine (9) WSF terminal locations and this equipment is available as an optional resource should the Contractor elect to utilize it. The locations are as follows: Point Defiance, Vashon, Southworth, Bremerton, Bainbridge, Kingston, Port Townsend, Clinton and Anacortes.

Should the Contractor fail or refuse to take the appropriate and timely containment, clean up, disposal actions, the customer may do so and the Contractor shall reimburse the customer for all expenses incurred including fines levied by appropriate agencies of federal or local governments. If there are no moneys due, the remediation costs shall be the responsibility of the Contractor or submitted as a claim to the bonding company.

Should a spill be detected during the course of a marine refueling event, the Contractor shall initiate a coordinated spill response in accordance with current U.S. Coast Guard and DOE rules, regulations, and laws. Once the fuel passes through the vessel’s fuel manifold, the customer takes possession of the product.

5.6 VOLUME VERIFICATION REQUIREMENTSTo ensure that delivery volumes are accurately calculated the following shall apply:a) Dispensing meters are to be certified by the Washington State Department of

Weights and Measures and delivery volumes shall not be temperature corrected. b) Deliverer is to perform and record before and after delivery stick level readings for

each delivery. c) All invoices are to be accompanied with the appropriate volume delivery verification

documentation including but not limited to a metered delivery ticket, bill of lading as well as a record of before and after delivery stick level readings.

Page 18: STATE OF WASHINGTON - Access Washington Home · Web viewA list of Washington members is available at: Contract Terms: This Document includes excerpts of terms and conditions published

Current Contract Information Contract No.: 02207 for Marine RefuelingPage 18

d) Following approval by the state contract administrator and at the prompting of the customer, transport containers are to be sealed until the fuel is unloaded. For sealed container deliveries, if there is a significant difference (as determined by the customer) between the metered quantity and the reading obtained by sticking the tank, the customer will pay the metered quantity, provided that the customer representative verifies that the container was completely emptied.

e) Should a customer representative be unavailable to sign the delivery receipt, stick level readings will serve as proof of delivery. In such cases, the driver is to note on the receipt that “no one available to sign” and sign the receipt themselves. Invoices and payments shall be for gross gallons delivered.

5.7 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS Contractors shall comply with all environmental regulations relevant to the contracted refueling service provided. Be advised that the Department of Ecology is currently drafting new Mobile Transfer rule which is slated to be complete in October 2007 and may impact this contract. Under consideration is to require:

Haulers to equip delivery vehicles with spill response kits. Marine delivery drivers to receive and maintain 24-hour “Hazwoper” training

certification. Require pre-booming of marine vessels prior to refueling tanks via mobile transfers. Training requirement to Ecology's Facility Personnel Oil Handling and Certification

levels. This would be developed by the company and approved by Ecology as adequate. Require delivering company to develop a comprehensive spill contingency plan Require a wireless or remote shut-off device capable of stopping flow of oil from both

the mobile facility and the vessel. Require all personnel with oil transfer duties have radios and a secondary means of

communication.Because the new fuel transfer regulations may apply to all deliveries (and not just this contract) no price adjustments will be allowed.

6 FUEL SPECIFICATIONS

6.1 PETROLEUM FUELAll fuel supplied must meet or exceed the most current ASTM specifications. The state reserves the right to test fuel samples to verify specification compliance and failure to supply fuel that meets the minimum specifications may result in contract termination.

6.2 BIODIESEL Many customers have had success introducing biodiesel and are poised to increase their volume commitment as availability allows. Other high-volume fuel purchasers such as WSF have more demanding performance requirements dictating a more exacting and consistent specification of the highest purity so as to achieve reliable results. Should a problem arise, the customer may need to track down the source of the problem so as to rule out biodiesel as the root cause. As the biodiesel market matures, the state anticipates that biodiesel quality and reliability issues will be resolved. Until then, the state seeks to offer customers two different biodiesel specifications (B#1 & B#2) as defined herein. The main differentiator is that the B#1

Page 19: STATE OF WASHINGTON - Access Washington Home · Web viewA list of Washington members is available at: Contract Terms: This Document includes excerpts of terms and conditions published

Current Contract Information Contract No.: 02207 for Marine RefuelingPage 19

specification is intended to offer customers improved quality control measures whereas the B#2 specification is intended to offer customers access to what is readily available. At a minimum, all B#1 biodiesel must conform to the following:

6.3 B#1 QUALITY Besides adhering to government and industry quality standards, the B#1 must at a minimum:

a) Be produced by a BQ 9000 certified producerUpon request of the purchaser, a certificate of analysis shall be provided for the B#1 ordered. The Contractor shall retain this certificate for a period of 3 years. ASTM testing will be required for biodiesel suspected of not meeting the quality standards defined herein and will be at the Contractors’ expense. Note: The National Biodiesel Board BQ-9000 Accreditation Program has developed a system for monitoring the production, handling and distribution of biodiesel that maintains the fuel properties at the ASTM D6751 specification with rigorous requirements for sampling, testing, storage, retention of samples, blending and shipping.

b) Be consistent in manufacture (one producer utilizing one feedstock) The distributor shall take a sample of the B-100 B#1 product from each batch and seal, label, and store the samples for a period of 7-months. Upon request of the purchaser, the Contractor shall supply the sample for testing purposes.

c) Be free of contamination resulting in bacteria or condensation. If bacteria are present, the appropriate treatment shall be applied to the biodiesel at the Contractor’s expense.

d) Be filter-cleaned to 2 microns or less. The B 100-B#1 must be filtered to 2 microns on transfer from storage tanks to the hauler's truck.

e) Be virgin from a single feedstock and homogeneousNote: The inclusion of recycled products (i.e. “yellow grease”) in the manufacturing process will not be permitted for the B#1 specification.

f) Meet or exceed ASTM D-6751-06b specification

6.4 B#1 MINIMUM SPECIFICATIONS Contractor has on record with the state a certification letter from its BQ 9000 certified producer stating that the minimum specifications as shown will be met or exceeded.

6.5 B#1 BLENDING & HANDLINGUnless the customer directs otherwise, the blending and handling of biodiesel must conform to the most current BioDiesel Handling and Use Guidelines as defined by the U.S. Department of Energy (currently September 2006, Third Edition, http://www.nrel.gov/docs/fy06osti/40555.pdf ).

a) The hauler shall blend the B100#1 with petroleum diesel as specified by the customer. b) The hauler is to load the biodiesel prior to loading the petroleum diesel. c) The B100#1 is to be transferred using clean, dedicated hoses that are properly labeled for

that purpose only. d) Unless the customer specifies otherwise (in writing) Biodiesel is to be metered into the

haulers compartments. e) Each compartment in the haulers vehicle shall be loaded with the correct percentage of

biodiesel corresponding to the blend ordered. If for example a B-20#1 blend was ordered,

Page 21: STATE OF WASHINGTON - Access Washington Home · Web viewA list of Washington members is available at: Contract Terms: This Document includes excerpts of terms and conditions published

Current Contract Information Contract No.: 02207 for Marine RefuelingPage 21

each compartment shall contain 20% by volume of biodiesel. Likewise, if a B-5#1 blend was ordered, each compartment shall contain 5% by volume of biodiesel.

f) After the biodiesel is loaded into the haulers truck, the tanks are then to be filled with petroleum diesel so as to achieve the requested biodiesel blend ratio and to achieve proper mixing.

g) Biodiesel blends shall be delivered to the receiving vessel in a homogenous state.

6.6 B#1 SAMPLING & TESTINGSo as to rule out biodiesel as the cause of any trouble, the Contractor shall obtain two samples of the delivered product upon request of the purchaser. These samples shall be retained by the Contractor for 7 months from the delivery date and provided to the end user upon request. The two samples shall consist of:

a) A one-quart sample of B-100#1 at the time the biodiesel is loaded into the hauler’s tank truck and

b) Unless the customer specifies otherwise, a 1-quart sample of the blended, finished product (e.g. B-20, B-5) at the time of delivery. This sample shall be taken from the middle of one of the hauler’s tank truck compartments using an appropriate sample gathering device.

6.7 B#1 PRODUCT AGEBiodiesel in its pure form (B-100) is known to degrade due to age. The state seeks to obtain as fresh a product as practical but in no case shall the product be older than four months from the date of manufacture.

6.8 BIODIESEL B#2 QUALITYBesides adhering to government and industry quality standards, the B#2 must at a minimum:

a) Be consistent in manufacture (one producer utilizing one feedstock)b) Be free of contamination resulting in bacteria or condensation.

If bacteria are present, the biodiesel the appropriate treatment shall be applied at the Contractor’s expense.

c) Be virgin from a single feed stock. d) Meet or exceed ASTM-D-6751-06b specification

6.9 BIODIESEL B#2 BLENDING & HANDLINGUnless the customer directs otherwise, the blending and handling of biodiesel must to conform to the most current BioDiesel Handling and Use Guidelines as defined by the U.S. Department of Energy (currently September 2006, Third Edition, http://www.nrel.gov/docs/fy06osti/40555.pdf ).

a) The hauler shall blend the B100#2 with petroleum diesel as specified by the customer. b) The hauler is to load the biodiesel in accordance with industry standards. c) Unless the customer specifies otherwise (in writing) Biodiesel is to be metered into the

haulers compartments. d) Each compartment in the haulers vehicle shall be loaded with the correct percentage of

biodiesel corresponding to the blend ordered. If for example a B-20#2 blend was ordered,

Page 22: STATE OF WASHINGTON - Access Washington Home · Web viewA list of Washington members is available at: Contract Terms: This Document includes excerpts of terms and conditions published

Current Contract Information Contract No.: 02207 for Marine RefuelingPage 22

each compartment shall contain 20% by volume of biodiesel. Likewise, if a B-5#2 blend was ordered, each compartment shall contain 5% by volume of biodiesel.

e) After the biodiesel is loaded into the haulers truck, the tanks are then to be filled with petroleum diesel so as to achieve the requested biodiesel blend ratio and to achieve proper mixing.

6.10 BIODIESEL B#2 PRODUCT AGEBiodiesel in its pure form (B-100) is known to degrade due to age. The state seeks to obtain as fresh a product as practical but in no case shall the product be older than four months from the date of manufacture.

7 SPECIAL TERMS & CONDITION

7.1 CONTRACTOR PERFORMANCEa) General Requirements: The state, in conjunction with contract users, monitors and maintains

records of Contractor performance. Said performance shall be a factor in evaluation and award of this and all future contracts. Purchasers will be provided with product/service performance report forms to forward reports of superior or poor performance to the State Procurement Officer.

b) Liquidated Damages: The state has an immediate requirement for the materials, equipment or services specified herein. Contractor shall give careful consideration to the state’s requirements and to the manufacturer’s production capabilities when establishing a delivery date(s). Liquidated damages will be assessed in the amount of actual damages incurred by the state as a result of Contractor’s failure to perform herein.

c) Cost of Remedying Defects : All defects, indirect and consequential costs of correcting, removing or replacing any or the entire defective product, materials or equipment will be charged against the Contractor. Contractor(s) will not however be liable for defects resulting from improper installation by purchaser.

7.2 MATERIALS AND WORKMANSHIP The Contractor shall be required to furnish all new materials, equipment and/or services necessary to perform contractual requirements. Materials and workmanship in the construction of equipment for this contract shall conform to all codes, regulations and requirements for such equipment, specifications contained herein, and the normal uses for which intended. Materials shall be manufactured in accordance with the best commercial practices and standards for this type of equipment. Refurbished products are not allowed without prior approval by purchaser.

7.3 DELIVERY DEFAULT In the event that the Contractor fails to fulfill delivery terms the customer may purchase fuel from another supplier and the Contractor will be responsible for paying any additional acquisition costs. Habitual late or otherwise non-compliance to delivery terms shall be grounds for contract termination and recovery of damages.

Page 23: STATE OF WASHINGTON - Access Washington Home · Web viewA list of Washington members is available at: Contract Terms: This Document includes excerpts of terms and conditions published

Current Contract Information Contract No.: 02207 for Marine RefuelingPage 23

Note: If the customer requires fuel that is not available at the rack and another hauler has access to this fuel, the customer may purchase the fuel from the non-contracted supplier and the Contractor will not be liable for the difference in price.

7.4 PRICING AND ADJUSTMENTSThe state recognizes that fuel market fluctuations can impact the haulers B&O taxes as well as the cost of fuel needed to perform deliveries. Even so, the fixed service fee in combination with the OPIS fuel price multiplier allows Contractor to protect profit margins irregardless of market fluctuations. Furthermore, because all fuel related taxes and fees are to be charged to customers on a pass-through basis, any fuel related fee or tax code adjustments will not impact the Contractor’s profit margin. The only known tax adjustment that could potentially impact the Contractor’s profit margins is B&O (currently sale price x 0.0047). Therefore, in the event the B&O tax increases (or decreases) the Contractor’s OPIS fuel price multiplier is to be adjusted relative to the adjustment to the B&O tax rate. No other price adjustments will be considered unless unanticipated market conditions warrant such action. In such cases the decision to grant a price adjustment will be at the discretion of the State Contract Administrator and shall not result in a higher profit margin for the Contractor. A minimum of thirty (30) calendar days advance notification of a price increase will be required and is to be accompanied by sufficient documentation to justify the requested increase.

7.5 OTHER AGREEMENTSDuring contract life, should the Contractor enter into an agreement (of similar in scope and value) with another customer which incorporates improved benefits or pricing, the Contractor shall immediately notify the State Contract Administrator and amend the state contract to provide similar benefits or pricing.

7.6 PURCHASING CARD ACCEPTANCEIn an effort to streamline the purchasing and payment process, the State is encouraging agencies to use the state contracted purchasing card to facilitate small dollar purchases. While at the present time, it is not mandatory that the Contractor accept credit card purchases, we encourage all state Contractors to consider this alternate payment process. The current card available for state agency use is a VISA product.

7.7 REPORTING REQUIREMENTSProviding timely and ongoing quarterly customer sale usage reports will not only be a contract requirement but will also an important factor impacting in the decision to extend contract(s). Below is a description of the reports that are to be provided.

a) Sales & Subcontractor Report A quarterly Sales and Subcontractor Report shall be submitted in the format provided by the Office of State Procurement. Contractors may retrieve the report electronically at http://www.ga.wa.gov/PCA/forms/usage.doc . Total purchases for each State Agency and higher education institutions are to be shown separately.
