tanks are not yet in place and the City does not have a large number of vehicles which can use the
fuel, but, if the vendor has a source for E85 and is capable of delivering it in relatively small

the performance requirements and that the product is not contaminated at the time of delivery.
Product Identification: Product Identification tags will be provided by suppliers as requested. Tags
will conform to API standards for product identity.

does not meet specifications, all testing costs and costs associated with the removal of poor fuel
and replacement with fuel meeting all specifications will be paid by the Contractor.
Errors: In the event of an error resulting in the delivery of fuel being pumped into a wrong tank, it
will be the responsibility of the Contractor to drain the affected tank and refill correctly at their
expense.
All spills and overflows, no matter what the volume, must be reported immediately to a City
representative. The Contractor shall be responsible for clean-up of all spills, including all
associated costs. The Contractor shall follow all pertinent rules and regulations governing such
spills, and file all required reports. Clean-up of spills shall be completed as soon as possible.
