warehouse receipt. CCC will not pay the loadout charges. Prior to submitting a bid, interested

parties are advised to check with the storing warehouse operator regarding scheduling, quality

independently, and no offer can be contingent upon the acceptance of other offers. CCC reserves 

the right to reject any or all offers. Any differences in quantity and quality of CCC-owned 

peanuts received by the transferee are to be settled between the storing warehouse operator and 

the contractor. CCC will not facilitate this settlement. 

No offer on any one catalog lot number will be contingent upon the acceptance of another 

catalog lot number. Offers on partial lots are unacceptable. Lots must be bid on in full. 

CCC will pay storage through the date of contract. The transferee is responsible for paying 

loadout charges ($20) per ton in accordance with the Peanut Storage Agreement, 
plus storage charges incurred from the day after the date of contract. The date of contract 

is the date the offeror is notified by CCC that its bid is successful.

in the Schedule of Rates will apply to the peanuts until loaded out, provided the transferee, 

in writing, orders the peanuts loaded out for immediate shipment within 30 days after the date 

title is transferred. If the transferee does not request, in writing, load out within 30 days after 

the date title is transferred, the storage and handling rates applicable to the transferee for the
