2. Master Line Item (MLI)

Offerors may bid on one or more ML Is, but may not make alternate bids on separate master line items (i.e., the offer may not state 1,000,000 barrels from either MLI 001, or MLI 002).

3. Maximum MLI Quantity (MAXQ)

For each MLI offered against, offers shall state here, in thousands of barrels, the number of barrels which the offeror seeks to purchase on the MLI, regardless of delivery method. The maximum MLI quantity shall be not less than the DOE's minimum quantity as stated in the Notice of Sale (NS).

4. Delivery Line Items (DLI)

Applicable DLI delivery methods are as follows:

DLI A and H nominally have a 30-day delivery period. Vessel DLIS B,E and I have ten day delivery periods nominally from the 1st to the 10th; C, F and J cover the 11th to the 20th; and D, G and K cover the 21st to the last day of the period of sale. Not all DLIs may be available on a particular MLI. For example, barges are allowed only at the Sun Terminal barge docks (with certain limited exceptions, see SSP No. C.8). Therefore, only MLI 004 and MLI 005 have DLIS E, F and G. Buyers are cautioned to read the NS carefully as it may alter the period of time covered by each DLI if the period of sale does not correspond to a calendar month. This is most likely to occur in the first sales cycle of a drawdown. For example, the NS may alter DLIS B, C, D, E, F, G, I, J and K to cover approximately 15 days instead of 10, or if the period of sale runs from the middle of one month to the middle of the next, DLIS B, E and I may be designated as covering the 15th to 25th of the first month, etc.

5. Unit Price (UPSS)

The offer shall state the offered price per barrel on each DLI for which the offer indicates a desired DLI quantity. The offer may state either the same unit price for different DLIs or different unit prices. DOE will award the highest price first. Prices may be stated to one-hundredths of a cent ($0.0001), but in no smaller fraction thereof.

6. Delivery Preference (P)

Where the offer has the same unit price for two or more DLIS, the offer may indicate the offeror's order of preference for delivery method and period (1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc.).

If the offer does not indicate a preference, DOE will select the DLI(s) to be awarded at its discretion.

7. Desired DLI Quantity (DESQ)

Offers must indicate at least one desired DLI, stating (in thousands of barrels) the number of barrels which the offeror will accept by the delivery method and during the delivery period established for that DLI. An offeror may indicate a willingness to accept alternate delivery methods or delivery periods. An offeror may request all, part or none of the offer's maximum MLI quantity on any particular DLI. A total of all the offeror's desired DLI quantities should total at least the maximum MLI quantity, but could exceed the maximum MLI quantity if the offeror is willing to accept alternate delivery methods or periods. For example, the offer could state:

[blocks in formation]

For each DLI on which an offer is made, the offeror should indicate his willingness to accept as little as DOE's specified minimum contract quantity for that DLI by marking the 'Y' block, or unwillingness to accept less than the DESQ for that DLI by marking the 'N' block. If neither 'Y' or 'N' is indicated, the offer will be evaluated as though the offeror had indicated a 'Y'. DOE only will award less than the offeror's desired DLI quantity if an offer is otherwise successful, but the quantity which DOE has available for award is less than said desired DLI quantity or award of the desired quantity would cause the offeror's MAXQ on the MLI to be exceeded. 9. Total Price

The offer shall calculate the total price (desired DLI quantity times unit price) for each DLI on which an offer is made. The offeror is reminded that DESQ is stated in thousands of barrels.

10. Offer Guarantee

The amount of the offer guarantee is $10 million dollars or 5 percent of the maximum potential contract amount, whichever is less. The maximum potential contract amount is the sum of the products determined by multiplying the offer's maximum purchase quantity for each MLI times the highest offer prices that the offeror would have to pay for that MLI if the offer is successful. To assist in this calculation, instructions and a worksheet are available at Exhibit K. Submission of the worksheet is not mandatory.
