DLA Energy Bunkers SEA Card® Open Market Overview

The U.S. Government Ships bunkers Easy Acquisition Card Program (SEA Card®) is the Defense

Logistics Agency - Energy (DLA Energy) worldwide marine fuel procurement program used by the Department

of Defense (DoD) and Federal Civilian agencies. The program is based on the SEA Card® Order Management

System (SEA CARD® ONLINE®), a web-based platform which eliminates the need for paper-based processes

and can be accessed at https://www.seacardsys.com.

One feature of the SEA Card® program is our Open Market purchase program which allows for marine

fuel purchases by the U.S. Government in over 2,600 ports worldwide. In the event that fuel is requested at a

non-contract port, an Open Market purchase is requested. Registered vessels can use the SEA Card® system to

create an open market fuel request and input the specification requirements, special terms and conditions for the

specific request, and requested mode of delivery. Once a Request for Quote (RFQ) is thus established, a

competitive process in which quotes are submitted by multiple merchants will commence and an award is made

to the merchant who submitted the lowest priced, technically acceptable quote. After fueling occurs, the

merchant may input the transaction details into SEA Card® Online. The transaction details are then routed to

the approving official for approval before processing for payment. This ensures that the appropriate purchasing

policies are followed and purchase details are correct.

The SEA Card® system eliminates paper based processes as all communications regarding Open Market

SEA Card® orders are electronic.

ADDITIONAL NOTES FOR MERCHANTS SUBMITTING QUOTES ON SEA Card® Online RFQs: 1. At time of offer, you must submit with your quote a copy of the specifications for the fuel you are offering. Specs must be directly uploaded into SEA CARD® ONLINE with your quote. Specs shall be in English or an English language translation must be provided. If you have any difficulties uploading please contact SEA CARD® Customer Support. Failure to provide spec by time of RFQ closing may render your offer nonresponsive and unacceptable. 2. Quote prices must be all-inclusive & as-delivered, to include all applicable taxes, duties, & fees as well as all transportation costs. It is the Merchant’s responsibility to know all costs, taxes, & fees that apply. Cost of oil booms, if required, shall be billed as ancillary after delivery, and should not be included in your price. 3. Each Merchant should submit only one (1) quote on each RFQ. In the event that more than one quote or price is submitted by a single Merchant, the Contracting Officer reserves the right to reject all but one offer from that Merchant. 4. Although the intention of SEA CARD® ONLINE is to minimize discussions to encourage a prompt award, it may be necessary for the Contracting Officer or designee to contact the Merchant to clarify or discuss a point of their offer. Every attempt will be made to reach the Merchant’s representative by phone or Email. However, if this is not successful and time is of the essence to make award, the Contracting Officer reserves the right to reject the quote from that Merchant. 5. The lowest-priced, technically acceptable offer on each RFQ will be awarded. A “technically acceptable” offer is one that meets the Government's supply and schedule requirements as stated in the RFQ, product specification requirements in the RFQ and in Section C, quality assurance requirements in the RFQ and in Section E, and delivery/transportation requirements in the RFQ and in Section F. Offeror-proposed exceptions to any of the foregoing requirements will be thoroughly reviewed for acceptability. The Contracting Officer reserves the right to reject any exceptions to the RFQ.

(v) All product volumes determined by meters or calibrated markers that are in excess of 20,000 liters (5,000 gallons) or that have a kinematic viscosity equal to or greater than 5.5 mm3/s. (6) MEASUREMENT STANDARDS. All measurements and calibrations made to determine quantity shall be in accordance with the most recent edition of the API Manual of Petroleum Measurement Standards (MPMS). Outside of the United States, other technically equivalent national or international standards may be used. Certified capacity tables shall mean capacity tables prepared by an independent inspector or any independent surveyor. In addition, the following specific standards will be used as applicable: (i) API MPMS Chapter 11.1, Volume Correction Factors (API 2540/ASTM D 1250/IP 200/ISO 91-1). Either the printed version or the computer subroutine versions of the standard may be used. (A) Use Volume VIII, Tables 53B and 54B (or Volume II, Tables 5B and 6B) for all bunker fuels. (B) Volume XII, Table 52, shall be used to convert cubic meters at 15 degrees Celsius to barrels at 60 degrees Fahrenheit, except when this method is restricted by foreign law. Convert liters at 15 degrees Celsius to cubic meters at 15 degrees Celsius by dividing by 1,000. Convert gallons at 60 degrees Fahrenheit to barrels at 60 degrees Fahrenheit by dividing by 42. Should foreign law restrict conversion by this method, the method required by law shall be stated in the offer. (C) If the original measurement is by weight and quantity is required in U. S. gallons, then-- (a) Volume XII, Table 58, shall be used to convert metric tons to U.S. gallons at 60 degrees Fahrenheit. (b) Volume XI, Table 8, shall be used to convert pounds to U.S. gallons at 60 degrees Fahrenheit. (D) If the original measurement is by volume and quantity is required in metric tons, then metric tons shall be calculated by multiplying the volume in (m3) at 15 degrees Celsius by the density (in kg/m3) at 15 degrees Celsius. Convert kilograms to metric tons by dividing by 1,000. (ii) API MPMS Chapter 4, Proving Systems. All meters used in determining product volume shall be calibrated using this standard with the frequency required by local regulation (foreign or domestic). If no local regulation exists, then the frequency of calibration shall be that recommended by the meter manufacturer or every 6 months, whichever is more frequent. (d) BACK-HAUL. NOTE: Navy and USCG regulations may require certain vessels to "top-off" for maintaining a specific reservoir of fuel quantity on-board at all times when on stand-by mode. In addition, instability of the vessel in water may result in variances between the quantity ordered vice receivable by the vessel resulting in returned product. (1) On f.o.b. destination deliveries as ships’ bunkers, excess quantities ordered but not accepted by the Government will be referred to as back-haul. Back-haul charges are only those transportation charges associated with returning the excess quantities to the supply terminal or, if not returnable, incurred demurrage until the product is sold off the barge or truck all resulting in back-haul. Contractors shall limit the time product remains in transit or on-board the barge or truck until sold to another party to mitigate costs. Failure to do so may result in denial of the claim. (2) Any back-haul remaining after delivery has been made will be handled as follows: (i) SEA Card Order Management System (SEA CARD® ONLINE) Orders. (A) Charges for detention are deemed ancillary, non-fuel charges and are the responsibility of the activity incurring them. In accordance with the SUBMISSION OF INVOICES FOR NON-FUEL CHARGES – LOCAL PURCHASE PAYMENT REQUIREMENTS (FUEL

12

CARD SERVICES) contract provision, the Contractor shall invoice these charges using SEA CARD® ONLINE, upon approval by the activity, the Credit Card Processor (CCP) will pay the Contractor and the CCP will then bill the receiving activity. (B) In the event the incurring activity disputes the charge(s), the DLA Energy Contracting Officer in accordance with procedures set form in subparagraph (ii) below for non-SEA CARD® ONLINE orders. The Contractor may include the SEA CARD® ONLINE processing fee as parts of its claim which must be clearly identified and expresses as a whole number, not a percentage. (ii) Non-SEA CARD® ONLINE Orders (A) The Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer and the Ordering Officer as to the amount and type of product not taken by the vessel and the location(s) that caused the back-haul. (B) The Contractor shall file a claim against the Government for returned quantities. This claim shall be submitted to the Contracting Officer in accordance with procedures set forth in paragraph (d), Disputes, of the CONTRACT TERMS AND CONDITIONS – COMMERCIAL ITEMS clause. For back-haul: A copy of the transportation provider’s and/or supplier’s invoice for the transportation cost must be provided as evidence to substantiate the actual cost of transportation cost per unit of issue. For demurrage leading to sold product: A detailed copy of the incurred demurrage charge must be provided as evidence to substantiate the demurrage rate. A copy of the written fuel order (as cited in the SUPPLIES TO BE FURNISHED (BUNKERS) contract provision) and signed receiving reports from the Government must also be submitted for all claims described above. (C) Claims shall be forwarded to the Contracting Officer, with supporting documents, no later than 120 days after the original delivery date, failing which the Government shall be discharged from any and all liability in respect thereof. (3) Product downgraded due to its inability to be reintroduced into a terminal shall be treated as a separate claim unlike back-haul. Contractors must submit all supporting documentation of this result to the Contracting Officer to substantiate the claim and within the time-frame as described in (C) above. (e) CONTRACTOR DELIVERY DELAYS. (1) The Contractor shall be liable for costs the Government incurs due to delays/detainments/demurrage of vessels when-- (i) The actual pumping rate for the method of delivery does not meet the required contract rate; (ii) The Contractor fails to deliver due to fuel shortages/outages; (iii) The Contractor cannot deliver by the contracted method of delivery; (iv) The Contractor fails to provide the proper delivery conveyance equipment; or (v) Any other delay or default does not constitute an excusable delay. (2) Any demurrage claims against the Contractor shall be computed to the nearest half hour. (3) MILITARY SEALIFT COMMAND (MSC) VESSELS. (i) If the delayed vessel is under a voyage (spot) charter, demurrage may be assessed at the rate provided in the charter. For long term barge contracts not awarded by MSC, demurrage may be assessed at the contract hire rate for the vessel. In all cases when the vessel is under charter, the demurrage payable by the Contractor shall not exceed the actual demurrage expense incurred by the Government. (ii) If the vessel is not under a voyage charter, demurrage may be assessed at the demurrage rate for that class of vessel as published by the MSC. (4) Acceptance of a late delivery shall be for the purpose of mitigating damages and shall not constitute a waiver of the Government’s right to recover delay damages from the Contractor. F-0002 F3.01 TRANSPORT TRUCK, TRUCK AND TRAILER AND/OR TANK WAGON FREE TIME AND DETENTION RATES (BUNKERS) (DLA ENERGY JAN 2012) (a) Upon arrival of Contractor's transport truck, truck and trailer, or tank wagon, the receiving activity shall promptly designate the delivery point into which the load is to be discharged.

F-0003 F16.03 BARGE UNLOADING CONDITIONS (SHIPS' BUNKERS) (DLA ENERGY JAN 2012) (a) ORDERING PROCESS. The supplies ordered hereunder shall be delivered to the destination specified in a verbal order and/or DD 1155, SF 44, SF 1449, OF 347, or CD 404 (to be referred to in this contract provision as the “ordering document”), in accordance with the contract schedule, unless mutually agreed to by the parties. Unless otherwise specified in the contract, orders placed for bunkers for delivery (anchorage and/or pier-side) by means of barge will be furnished to the Contractor at least 48 hours, in advance of the date/time on which delivery is to be made, which date is hereinafter referred to in this contract provision as the “scheduled delivery date”. Each order will specify the quantity to be delivered, the scheduled delivery date, and location. (b) SCHEDULED DELIVERY DATE. The scheduled delivery date may be changed by mutual agreement of the parties. If an agreement on a new scheduled delivery date cannot be reached, the previous scheduled delivery date will be maintained. (c) EXPECTED TIME OF ARRIVAL. Unless otherwise specified in the delivery narrative for a particular line item, the Contractor must provide to the receiving Government vessel a notice of readiness to bunker at least 2 hours prior to the scheduled bunkering. The Government shall provide a safe and assessable berth for the Contractor’s bunkering vessel, not later than 2 hours after receipt of the Contractor’s bunkering vessel’s notice of readiness to bunker. (d) LAYTIME. Unless otherwise provided in the ordering document, the Government shall be allowed and will complete receipt of the bunkers within laytime determined as follows: (1) One hour for each 1,500 barrels of supplies to be bunkered. (Example: Quantity to be bunkered is 4,000 barrels, laytime will be 2 hours and 40 minutes.) This assumes the barge delivering bunkers is capable of pumping into the receiving vessel at a rate of 1,500 barrels per hour (BPH). Laytime will be extended by the appropriate additional time when the pumping rate is less than 1,500 BPH. (2) Laytime shall commence as follows: (i) At Notice of Readiness (NOR) plus 1 hour; or (ii) Immediately upon arrival in berth of the Contractor’s bunkering barge (i.e., all fast) provided that the Contractor provided notice of readiness to bunker at the proper time.

(e) LAYTIME CREDIT. (1) If regulations of the Port Authority prohibit bunkering at any time, time so lost shall be added to the amount of allowed laytime. (2) Delays, after commencement of laytime, attributed to the condition of the bunkering barge or delays caused by a failure of the bunkering barge will be added to the allowed laytime. In the event of Contractor delay, if total adjusted laytime is not fully utilized and/or is

14

exceeded due to further Contractor delays, the provisions of paragraph (e), Contractor Delivery Delays, of the contract provision entitled BUNKERING PROVISIONS may be utilized. (3) Delays, after commencement of laytime, attributed to causes beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of the Contractor or the Government will result in increasing basic allowed laytime for one half of the delay. (4) Delays caused solely by the Government, due to late arrival of the vessel, late commencement, and/or late continuation of the delivery, will be deducted from allowed laytime and/or freetime after coordination with the Chief Engineering and/or Ordering Officer. In the event of Government delay, if total allowed laytime and freetime are exceeded, the Contractor may bill for detention charges in accordance with paragraph (i) below. Evidence of such delay must be provided. (f) DELAYS. In the vent of a breakdown of the Contractor’s equipment, which prohibit bunkering for at least 2 hours, the Contractor will be required to remove the equipment from the Government-provided berth, unless permission is granted by the Government to allow the equipment to remain at berth. When the Government grants permission for the Contractor’s equipment to remain at berth, the Contractor will be responsible to reimburse the Government for any cost incurred by the Government for furnishing personnel to remain with the barge during repair. If the Contractor removes the equipment from the Government-provided berth, notice of readiness to bunker will be again required as provided in paragraph (b) above. (g) EQUIPMENT. Hoses for bunkering a barge shall be provided by the Contractor. However, the Government shall be responsible for connecting and disconnecting the hoses at the flange of the receiving Government vessel. (h) TITLE.

(ii) In the event the incurring activity disputes the charge(s), the DLA Energy Contracting Officer will be provided documentation from both parties in order to arbitrate a settlement. In the event an agreement cannot be reached through Alternate Dispute Resolution (ADR), via arbitration, the Contractor shall file a claim in accordance with the Contract Disputes Act of 1978 and the CONTRACT TERMS AND CONDITIONS – COMMERCIAL ITEMS (BUNKERS) clause. The Contractor may include the SEA CARD® ONLINE processing fee as parts of its claim, must be clearly identified and expresses as a whole number, not a percentage. (2) Non-SEA CARD® ONLINE Orders. The Contractor shall be paid for detention beyond free time for delays caused by the Government. Detention costs will be the sole responsibility of the activity incurring them.

To remain registered in the SAM database after the initial registration, the Contractor is required to review and update on an annual basis from the date of initial registration or subsequent updates its information in the SAM database to ensure it is current, accurate and complete. Updating information in the SAM does not alter the terms and conditions of this contract and is not a substitute for a properly executed contractual document.

(2)(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 FAR subpart 42.12, the Contractor shall provide the responsible Contracting Officer a minimum of one business day’s written notification of its intention to (A) change the name in the SAM database; (B) comply with the requirements of subpart 42.12; and (C) agree in writing to the timeline and procedures specified by the responsible Contracting Officer.

appearing in the EULA, TOS, or similar legal instrument or agreement.

if there is a pending administrative or judicial challenge. In the case of a judicial challenge to the liability, the liability is not finally determined until all judicial appeal rights have been exhausted.

(B) The taxpayer is delinquent in making payment. A taxpayer is delinquent if the taxpayer has failed to pay the tax liability when full payment was due and required. A taxpayer is not delinquent in cases where enforced collection action is precluded.

(ii) Examples. (A) The taxpayer has received a statutory notice of deficiency, under I.R.C. §6212, which entitles the taxpayer to seek Tax Court

review of a proposed tax deficiency. This is not a delinquent tax because it is not a final tax liability. Should the taxpayer seek Tax Court review, this will not be a final tax liability until the taxpayer has exercised all judicial appeal rights.

In the course of the hearing, the taxpayer is entitled to contest the underlying tax liability because the taxpayer has had no prior opportunity to contest the liability. This is not a delinquent tax because it is not a final tax liability. Should the taxpayer seek tax court review, this will not be a final tax liability until the taxpayer has exercised all judicial appeal rights.

(C) The taxpayer has entered into an installment agreement pursuant to I.R.C. §6159. The taxpayer is making timely payments and is in full compliance with the agreement terms. The taxpayer is not delinquent because the taxpayer is not currently required to make full payment.

(i) Certification Regarding Knowledge of Child Labor for Listed End Products (Executive Order 13126).
