New This Year: Hedging/Triggering
This year we are surveying users to determine interest in participating in a hedging/triggering (fixed price) program in the future. We added the choices of yes, most likely, least likely, or no. Please respond to one. Hedging/Triggering - is a binding agreement between the authorized user and contractor that establishes a negotiated futures contract for a fixed (locked in) price for a set period of time and for an agreed upon monthly quantity.
The filing of your fuel requirements will be considered authority for OGS Procurement Services to award contracts for these requirements for the contract periods indicated. Once your requirements have been submitted, your agency is obligated to purchase its required fuel from the fuel vendor that is awarded a contract for that fuel type and delivery location. You must not enter into any other fuel contract during the indicated contract period.
When submitting your agency/building’s fuel requirements, please refer to the “Fuel Requirement Submittal Guidelines” and:
- Make sure the contact information, billing information, delivery location, and tank information is correct.
- Make sure your requirement covers the volume of fuel your facility is expected to use in one (1) year.
- List all volume requirements in gallons.
- Include storage capacity and explain any special delivery requirement(s) (e.g., gallons per week or month, hours of delivery, winter blend, extra-long hose required due to location of tank, etc.).
- Respond to hedging/triggering question.
Be sure to print your confirmation page for your records.
Please note that it may not be feasible to procure certain fuel grades via statewide fuel procurement, regardless of the submitted filed requirement in either standby or non-standby quantities. If a fuel grade is prohibited due to environmental or other regulations, or a fuel grade is underutilized or obsolete, Procurement Services reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to remove it from the scope of the statewide fuel procurement at any time prior to contract award. If a decision is made to remove a fuel grade from the scope of the statewide fuel procurement, Procurement Services shall provide written notification through the Purchaser Notification System of such decision. Although requirements may be requested, bids and awards for all requirements may not be made.
