CAMPUS CONTRACT - AA08-RH-2533 COMPRESSED, SPECIALTY, AND LIQUID GASES |
Contract Term: December 1, 2007 through November 30, 2010
The University Contract has been awarded to Merriam Graves, as the primary vendor, and to Airgas East, Inc., as the secondary vendor.
CAMPUS CONTRACT TERMS AND CONDITIONS: Reference should be made on the Lines Detail Panel of the on-line purchasing system by indicating Contract Type = Campus and selecting Contract = AA08-RH-2533 .
USER DEPARTMENTS ARE ENCOURAGED TO REVIEW THE TERMS AND PRICES OF EACH OF THE VENDORS VERY CAREFULLY BEFORE MAKING A DECISION AS TO WHICH VENDOR IS OFFERING YOU THE BEST PACKAGE. PAY PARTICULAR ATTENTION TO THE MANNER IN WHICH EACH VENDOR FIGURES DEMURRAGE AND CONTAINER CHARGES.
In order that better control of cylinder delivery and pickup can be maintained, the vendor shall obtain the signature of an authorized departmental representative for each delivery, and a signed receipt shall be furnished to the department by the vendor for each pickup. The vendor shall place a tag on each cylinder, which will reference the respective purchase order number against which delivery is authorized, together with the name of the authorized individual at the University who placed the order. When pickup is effected, the signed receipt shall reference the same order information contained on the tag, and a copy of the receipt will be furnished to the departmental representative at the time of pickup.
Prior to the end of each fiscal year during the term of the contract (June 30), the vendor shall take a physical inventory of his cylinders in each department to which delivery has been effected, compare it to what has been delivered, and provide each department with a written report of their findings. The report shall contain the cylinder size, gas type, and the purchase order number against which the gas was ordered for any cylinder that the vendor could not locate. This step is necessary to better keep track of cylinder inventories.
For those vendors that charge demurrage, those charges mount up fast, so if you expect to hold a cylinder for an extended period of time, we recommend that you lease the cylinder, referring to such a charge on your purchase order as a "Container Charge." This is an expenditure from Sub. FF, account code 739610. We have learned over the years that close attention to detail on this subject pays big dividends in saving budget money. Your continued cooperation would be greatly appreciated.
NOTE: Departments that own their own containers may order liquid nitrogen and liquid helium from the Physics Department here on campus on trust funds at substantial savings. Contact MaryAnn Ryan at 545-2408 for ordering information.
The bid specifications call for a regular schedule of deliveries set up on a three times a week basis, with deliveries to be made on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays, to specific campus locations, between the hours of 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. Deliveries are to be made with properly equipped vehicles for the purpose. Empty cylinders are to be picked up at the time of each regular delivery. Orders should be placed by noon on Monday for regular Tuesday delivery, by noon on Tuesday for regular Wednesday delivery, and by noon on Thursday for regular Friday delivery.
Compressed Gas Association Numbers have been added to insure that the containers being delivered will be compatible with your equipment and will not require the purchase of pressure reducing gages or other adapters.
Questions/problems with this contract should be directed to Rosemary Hassay, Procurement, at 545-1094.
For all specialty gases, and any other item that is not specifically priced out in this contract, departments are encouraged to obtain quotes from the two Campus Contract vendors to determine best value. |
