CONDITIONS In addition to the terms and conditions noted above and in
the clauses incorporated by reference, the following terms and
conditions shall also be included in any resultant contract: 1.
DELIVERIES. All deliveries shall be made on the day specified in the
delivery order unless otherwise authorized by the receiving activity
during normal working hours of such activity, provided that the
Contractor shall have received the order at least 48 hours prior to the
day so specified. 2. QUANTITY DETERMINATION. At the Government's
option, quantity may be determined at the receiving activity on the
basis of- (a) Weight, using calibrated scales; or (b) A calibrated
meter on the receiving tank system. If the Government does not elect to
use one of the methods in (a) or (b) above, the quantity shall be
determined (at the Contractor's option) on the basis of -- (a)
Calibrated meter; (b) Certified capacity tables. The tables must be
made available at the time of delivery; (c) Certified tank calibration
markers. Certified tank calibration markers will not be accepted
unless the conveyance is full to the marker and the entire quantity is
delivered; or (d) The net quantity determined at the loading point by
a calibrated loading rack meter or calibrated scales. This quantity
must be mechanically imprinted on the loading rack meter ticket that is
generated by the loading rack meter or calibrated scales. If this
method is used, the Government reserves the right to redetermine the
quantity received at time of delivery by gauging the receiving tank
before and after delivery. 3. WATER BOTTOMS. (a) Every delivery must be
free of all water bottoms prior to discharge; and (b) The Contractor is
responsible for their removal and disposal. 4. VOLUME CORRECTION.
Volume correction to gallons at 60oF (or liters at 15 degrees Celsius)
is required for all volumes of measured in tank trucks, trucks and
trailers and tank wagons which are in excess of 5,000 gallons. 5.
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
the U.S., 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. (1) Volume XII, Table 52, shall be used to convert cubic
meters at 15oC to barrels of 60oF. Convert liters at 15oC to cubic
meters at 15oC by dividing by 1,000. Convert gallons at 60oF to barrels
at 60oF by dividing by 42. Should foreign law restrict conversion by
this method, the method required by law shall be used. (2) 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 60oF. (3) 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. 6.
INVOICING AND PAYMENT. (A) Overbillings -- (a) That are less than or
equal to 0.5 percent of the quantity listed on the receiving document
will be paid as originally invoiced by the Contractor when the
overbilled quantity is solely a result of a difference in measurement
techniques. (b) That exceed 0.5 percent of the quantity listed on the
receiving document will be paid based on the corrected quantity as
determined by the activity and annotated on the activity's receiving
document. (B) Underbillings will be paid as invoiced. (C)
Notwithstanding any permissible variation percentage, payment is
authorized for a percentage not to exceed 120 percent of the ordered
quantity. Payment shall be made for quantity within this allowable
variation listed on the receiving document as received and accepted by
the activity and invoiced by the Contractor. 7. VARIATION IN QUANTITY.
A variation in quantity of any item called for by this contract will
not be accepted unless the variation has been caused by conditions of
loading, shipping or packing, or allowances in manufacturing processes,
and then only to the extent, if any, specified. The permissible
variation shall be limited to a 10 percent increase / decrease. This
increase or decrease shall apply to each delivery order. 8. INSPECTION.
In addition to the inspection and acceptance procedures contained in
commercial clause I1.03-1, the following inspection procedures apply.
Before trucks are released, the basis analysis on the trucks needs to
be approved by the in-country QAR. Delivery requires the use of a
dedicated truck, to include dedicated discharge hoses. The QAR will
witness the delivery from time of loading to time of discharge. Posted
