DEFINITIONS: As used throughout this clause, the term- BASE REFERENCE PRICE (BRP): The BRP shall be established in writing by issuance of a contract modification within five calendar days following award of the contract. The BRP shall be the OPIS Rack Price for the date of the contract award. The contractor shall furnish to the Contracting Officer a copy of the Published OPIS rack price in effect on the contract award date for both B-20 Biodiesel and Marine Diesel #2. The same procedure will be followed each time MARAD exercises an optional period of performance. The BRP applicable to the period of performance (base or option periods) will be used in establishing the UPWARD CEILING ECONOMIC PRICE ADJUSTMENT as described below. Reference price: This means the end of day OPIS contract average effective that day for the product delivered to MARAD. In the event there is no price published for date of delivery, then it shall be the item's reference as last previously published. Date of delivery: This means the date product is delivered to MARAD. Published: This means the price issued in either print or electronic format by OPIS, unless otherwise specifically stated. In the event of a conflict between the prices set forth in the print version and those set forth in the electronic version for the same date, the electronic version shall prevail, unless otherwise specified. OIL PRICE INFORMATION SERVICE (OPIS): The reference price in effect on the date of delivery shall be the end of day OPIS contract average effective that day. In the event there is no price published for date of delivery, then it shall be the item's reference as last previously published. CALCULATIONS: The prices payable hereunder shall be determined by adding to the award price the same number of cents, or fraction thereof, that the daily reference price increases or decreases, per like unit of measure. All arithmetical calculations, including the final adjusted unit price, shall be carried to six decimal places, truncated. Marine Diesel #2 Fuel: Pricing for invoicing purposes shall be based on a unit price in dollars/gallon delivered which is the sum of the following two components: 1. The daily OPIS Marine Diesel #2 Rack Price (dollars per gallon) for the date of delivery and the product delivered. Invoices shall include a copy of the Published OPIS price in effect on the date of delivery. 2. The contract awarded unit price (dollars per gallon) for cost of delivery during the period of performance which shall include all labor, equipment, transportation expenses, overhead, general and administrative expenses and profit. The two component unit prices shall be summed and multiplied by the actual quantity delivered to arrive at the invoice amount. The invoice amount shall be rounded to the nearest cent. REVISION OF PUBLISHED REFERENCE PRICE: In the event- (I) Any applicable reference price is discontinued or its method of derivation is altered substantially; or (II) The Contracting Officer determines that the reference price consistently and substantially failed to reflect market conditions, the parties shall mutually agree upon an appropriate and comparable substitute for determining the price adjustments hereunder. The contract shall be modified to reflect such substitute effective on the date the reference price was discontinued, altered, or began to consistently and substantially fail to reflect market conditions. If the parties fail to agree on an appropriate substitute, the matter shall be resolved in accordance with FAR Clause 52.233-1 - Disputes. FAR CLAUSE 52.212-4 TERMS AND CONDITIONS - COMMERCIAL ITEMS - FAILURE TO DELIVER. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this clause, no upward adjustment shall apply to product scheduled under the contract to be delivered before the effective date of the adjustment, unless the Contractor's failure to deliver according to the delivery schedule results from causes beyond the Contractor's control and without its fault or negligence within the meaning of clause paragraph (f), Excusable delays and (m), Termination for cause or is the result of an agreement made in accordance with paragraph (c), Changes section of this clause in which case the purchase order shall be amended to make an equitable extension of the delivery schedule.

The notification shall include a revised ceiling the Contractor believes is sufficient to permit completion of remaining contract performance, along with an appropriate explanation and documentation as required by the Contracting Officer. (II) If an actual increase in the reference price would raise a contract unit price above the current ceiling, the Contractor shall have no obligation under this contract to fill pending or future orders for such item, as of the effective date of the increase, unless the Contracting Officer issues a contract modification to raise the ceiling. If the contract ceiling will not be raised, the Contracting Officer shall so promptly notify the Contractor in writing.
