AUTOMATIC DELIVERY REQUIREMENTS – STATE AGENCY RESPONSIBILITIES To assist in a smooth delivery operation (especially at the beginning of a new contract with a new delivery company), the ordering Agency shall provide the vendor with the previous delivery history data, upon request (1 year worth of consumption is preferable) so the vendor may provide the delivery service in an accurate and efficient manner. This history data is also available by request from the previous contractor.

The successful vendor shall manage the fuel levels in each “automatic delivery” required location. The tank shall be managed in such a manner that the individual tank will not run out of fuel. If for any reason a tank runs dry, the successful vendor will be responsible to: • Immediately refuel tank • Restart any or all boilers affected and perform any boiler maintenance required due to the fuel outage • Accept and process claims for damage caused to the building because of loss of heat such as, broken pipes, water damage, etc. NON-BUSINESS HOURS DELIVERY Vendor will not assume deliveries made outside of the specified time frames (after hours delivery) are acceptable without permission from the State agency. Many facilities have security measures in place to prevent after hours traffic on the property. Communication between vendor and agency shall take place to allow for “after hours delivery”. Ordering State Agencies shall comply where possible with the vendor’s request for “after hour’s delivery” provided reasonable notice of the request is supplied. Request for “after hour’s delivery” should be isolated instances stemming from unforeseen circumstances and not considered standard delivery procedure.
