Amendment / Modification

This document is an addendum to FAR 52.212-4, specifically modifying the "Contract Terms and Conditions--Commercial Products and Commercial Services" clause by adding a new paragraph (n) concerning Economic Price Adjustment (EPA) for propane commodity.

Key aspects of the EPA modification include:

• Purpose: To adjust the price for the propane commodity based on a public market price index.

• Pricing Structure: The total firm-fixed-price per gallon for propane delivery will consist of a Variable Propane Cost (based on the weekly average rack price from the Butane-Propane News (BPN) index for San Joaquin, CA) and a Fixed Delivery Fee.

• Task Order Application: Price adjustments will apply automatically to propane deliveries specified in individual task orders.

• Documentation and Invoicing: Contractors must provide monthly documentation including BPN price index copies, delivery logs, a breakdown of charges, and applicable task order numbers.

• Scope Limitation: This EPA mechanism applies only to propane delivery services. Other services (preventive maintenance, on-call maintenance, tank purchase/installation) are not subject to EPA.

• Disputes: Disagreements regarding EPA application or price calculation will be resolved per the Disputes clause.

• FAR 52.212-4, Contract Terms and Conditions--Commercial Products and Commercial Services (specifically, addition of paragraph (n) - Economic Price Adjustment).

• This amendment primarily affects how the price of propane commodity will be adjusted for deliveries under task orders. It does not appear to modify proposal submission deadlines or evaluation factors, but bidders should consider the EPA mechanism when developing their pricing for propane delivery.
