confidential information received. However, all materials associated with the Bid/Proposal and the
Contract are subject to the terms of the Connecticut Freedom of Information Act ("FOIA") and all

such. An explanation and rationale to justify each exemption consistent with FOIA must
accompany the request. The rationale and explanation must be stated in terms of the prospective
harm to the competitive position of the Contractor that would result if the identified material were
to be released and the reasons why the materials are legally exempt from release pursuant to FOIA.
If the Contractor indicates that certain documentation is submitted in confidence, by specifically
and clearly marking said documentation as CONFIDENTIAL, the Town will endeavor to keep
said information confidential to the extent permitted by law. The Town, however, shall have no
obligation to initiate, prosecute or defend any information that is sought pursuant to a FOIA

contract is executed or negotiations for the award of such contract have ended, whichever occurs

Page | 7

In addition, the Town may test samples of delivered fuel to check conformity with the

those of the Town, a portion of the sample in question shall be submitted to a third laboratory,
agreeable to both parties, and the test findings of this laboratory will be accepted as representing
the true quality of such shipment, and the cost of such independent test, as well as the removal and
replacement of the product, shall be paid by the party adjudged to be incorrect in the initial testing.
MIXING of an incorrect fuel supply with other grades of fuel or solvent in an attempt to create a

Delivery tickets shall be locked in the printer from the start of the delivery until the delivery is

sufficient product of equal or better grade and from any available source, to guarantee continued
operation, and to back charge the Vendor for any difference in cost from the Award price including
costs directly attributable to the interruption of supply. Repeated failure to deliver on time and/or
after notifications will be cause to consider the Vendor in default of Award. In such case the
Town, at its discretion, may cancel the Award and secure the product for the remaining Award
period from any available source best suited to the interests of the Town and to back charge the
Vendor for any difference in price.
The Vendor shall not be obligated if the Vendor is unable to furnish products because of strikes,
fires, war conditions in this country, or other causes beyond the Vendor's control (weather
conditions not included). In such cases, the Town shall be notified by telephone immediately
followed by written notice within three (3) days.
1) All fuel deliveries shall be made on weekdays between the hours of 7:30 AM and 3:00 PM

The awarded Vendor is responsible for insuring that the product delivered is constantly monitored

environmental damages that are incurred due to the spillage of the product. Any required cleaning
or repairs made necessary by such spillage, shall be performed by the Vendor at the Vendor's
expense. The Vendor shall be responsible for all costs of environmental cleanup and payment of
any or all fines resulting from the spillage at the time of delivery.
PROJECTED CONSUMPTION
Best Estimate
In this RFB the Town has presented its best estimate of the approximate number of gallons that
will be used during the term of the Award. The Town intends to utilize the estimated fuel quantity
specified in this RFB during the term of the Award. It is not the Town's intention to utilize the
purchased product quantity beyond the initial term, though the Town reserves the right to do so if
necessary.
The table on page 12 summarizes the Town's estimated annual fuel consumption. The Town may
purchase more or less fuel than the estimated amount.
The Town reserves the right to add or delete tank locations within Greenwich and the Vendor shall
service them during the term(s) of the Commodity Award for this product.
Surplus of Fuel
The Commodity Award for this product will provide the Town with an option period(s) of any
length up to one (1) year. This option period will provide the Town with additional time to
consume unused projected quantities of fuel (i.e., surplus fuel). The same price structure used
during the initial term will be used during the option period. Therefore, if Fixed Pricing was
utilized, the same Fixed Prices as the initial term will be charged and paid during the option
period. If Variable Pricing was used, the same Variable Rate calculation as the original term
will be used. Bidders must calculate this stipulation into their bid pricing.
