(2) Removal schedule

Offerors who request a ninety (90) calendar day removal schedule will be assessed 

a unit price deduction based on cost of storage and cost of money (i.e., interest) for 

evaluation purposes only. The Government will assume that the Offeror will 

make only one payment and one removal during the ninety (90) calendar day 

period and that the payment and removal will be at the end of the period. Cost of 

storage deductions will be calculated using the storage fee indicated in Section E.3 

Storage Charges (AUG 14). Cost of money deductions will be calculated using 

the interest rate for debts to the Government established by the Secretary of the 

Treasury as described in Section D.3. These deductions will only be used to 

evaluate competing offers and to compare unit prices and removal schedules. Once 

evaluation deductions are calculated based on removal schedule, all Offerors will 

be evaluated on adjusted unit prices.

Worksheet (AUG 14) as specified in Section E.1 and make payment in accordance with

I.10, the Customer will be considered delinquent and no material will be shipped until

payment has been received for the minimum thirty (30) calendar day, ninety (90) calendar

day, or declared quantity, as appropriate, whichever is greater. If the Customer has failed

to complete removal of all of the material on or before the last day of the removal period

(or the 30-calendar day period following confirmation by DLA Strategic Materials of

pricing for a Pricing Declaration Worksheet (AUG 14), as appropriate), the Customer

will be considered delinquent, and no material will be shipped until payment for all

remaining material has been received for that removal period. If the Customer has failed to

complete removal of all of the material on or before the last day of the contract period, the

Customer will be considered delinquent, and no material will be shipped until payment for

all material remaining under the contract has been received.

e. Removal periods (thirty (30) or ninety (90) days), the contract period, and the 30-calendar

day period following the confirmation of pricing for a Pricing Declaration Worksheet

(AUG 14) include all calendar days. If the last day of any period is a Saturday, Sunday, or

Federal holiday, or the storage location is otherwise closed on those days, the removal

period, the period of contract performance or the 30-calendar day period will be extended

and payment covering the final shipment under the contract must be received and approved

by DLA Strategic Materials by a date that results in notification no less than ten (10) DLA

Strategic Materials business days from the expiration of the contract to complete removal

of all remaining material. Final documentation and payment which fail to provide for a

minimum of ten (10) DLA Strategic Materials business days for DLA Strategic Materials to

prepare for and schedule removal, may result in an assessment of charges in accordance

with Section E.3 Storage Charges (AUG 14).

period) following the receipt of the Pricing Declaration Worksheet (AUG 14) by, and the

confirmation of price by DLA Strategic Materials, as applicable; and/or (2) any and all

material remaining unshipped after the last day of the contract period, as applicable. The

Government reserves the right to remove any remaining material to another Government

storage facility or to a commercial storage facility and be reimbursed by the Customer for

any expenses incurred. The determination of whether to move the material to a Government

or commercial facility rests solely with the Government. Storage charges continue to accrue

until all the material has been removed in accordance with the Declaration or the end of the

contract period, as applicable, or the contract is terminated for default, in which case the

Customer will be liable for damages, as set forth in Section G.7. Default of the Solicitation.

b. The storage charge is the greater of the following: (1) $10.00 per short ton (if a fraction

of a short ton remains, the charge will be for a full short ton) per 30 day period regardless

commercial storage charges, if applicable.

c. Storage charges will be invoiced upon shipment. Payment shall be due immediately.

d. Payment of storage charges shall not relieve the Customer of its obligation to remove the

material in a timely manner. Acceptance of storage payments by the Government is not a

waiver of the Government’s right to find the Customer to be in default for failure to

remove the material (See Section G.7. Default).

14. Section F.1. Request for Shipment (SEP 17), paragraph a., is deleted and following substituted

b. A Government representative shall certify the correctness of the weighing method and

that the truck scales have been inspected and certified. If the depot truck scale is used

for weighing, the Government will provide the certified scale tickets. If a public truck

The scale tickets will be provided by the Government or the Customer or its agent, as

applicable, within ten Government business days after the entire requested release

quantity has been shipped, or at the end of each week’s shipment, whichever is sooner.
