 other stack by a distance measured from the stack center lines,
 greater than three times the least effective stack height of any stack
 included in the mathematical combination; and

 4.  No stack in the mathematical combination is separated from any
 other stack by a distance greater than the allowable separation as
 determined from Figure 1 of this section.

 two years if an existing fuel burning unit is converted from burning
 oil or gas, or three years if the conversion is accomplished by the
 installation of a new fuel burning unit; and

 3.  The applicant demonstrates by air quality simulation modelling or
 other methods acceptable to the Department that increases in the
 emissions of air contaminants resulting from the use of the high-
 sulfur oil will not cause any ambient air quality standard to be

 5.0  SPECIAL CONTRACTUAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS

 5.1  Precedence of Special Contractual Terms and Conditions

 The contract awarded as a result of this RFP shall consist of this
 RFP, addendum to this RFP, the contractor's bid proposal and the
 Division's Notice of Award.

 Unless specifically stated within this RFP, the Special Contractual
 Terms and Conditions of the RFP take precedence over the Standard
 Terms and Conditions of the RFP.

 In the event of a conflict between the provisions of this RFP,
 including the Special Contractual Terms and Conditions and the
 Standard Terms and Conditions, and any Addendum to this RFP, the
 Addendum shall govern.

 5.2  Business Registration - See Standard Terms & Conditions, Section
 1.1

 5.3  Contract Term and Extension Option

 The term of the contract shall be for a period of three (3) years.
 The anticipated "Contract Effective Date" is provided on the cover
 sheet of this RFP.  If delays in the procurement process result in a
 change to the anticipated Contract Effective Date, the bidder agrees
 to accept a contract for the full term of the contract.  The contract
 may be extended for all or part of two (2), one-year periods, by the
 mutual written consent of the contractor and the Director.

 5.4  Contract Transition

 In the event that a new contract has not been awarded prior to the
 contract expiration date, as may be extended herein, it shall be
 incumbent upon the contractor to continue the contract under the same
 terms and conditions until a new contract can be completely
 operational.  At no time shall this transition period extend more than
 one hundred and twenty (120) days beyond the expiration date of the
 contract.

 5.5  Availability of Funds

 The State's obligation to pay the contractor is contingent upon the
 availability of appropriated funds from which payment for contract
 purposes is made.  No legal liability on the part of the State for
 payment of any money shall arise unless funds are made available each
 fiscal year to the Using Agencies by the Legislature.

 5.6  Contract Amendment

 Any changes or modifications to the terms of the contract shall only
 be valid when they have been reduced to writing and signed by the
 contractor and the Director.

 5.7  Procedural Requirements and Amendments

 may be issued from time to time by the Director.

 5.7.2  During the period of the contract, no contractual changes are

 The Using Agencies are authorized to order and the contractors are
 authorized to ship only those items covered by the contracts resulting
 from this RFP.  If a review of orders placed by the Using Agencies
 reveals that material other than that covered by the contract has been
 ordered and delivered, such delivery shall be a violation of the terms
 of the contract and may be considered by the Director in the
 termination of the contract or in the award of any subsequent
 contract. The Director may take such steps as are necessary to have
 the items returned by the Agency, regardless of the time between the
 date of delivery and discovery of the violation.  In such event, the
 contractor shall reimburse the State the full purchase price.

 The contract involves items that are necessary for the continuation of
 ongoing critical State services.  Any delay in delivery of these items
 would disrupt State services and would force the State to immediately
 seek alternative sources of supply on an emergency basis.  Timely
 delivery is critical to meeting the State's ongoing needs.

 5.10  Remedies for Non-Performance

 In the event that the contractor fails to comply with any material
 contract requirement, the Director may take steps to terminate the
 contract in accordance with the State administrative code.  In this
 event, the Director may authorize the delivery of contract items by
 any available means, with the difference between the price paid and
 the defaulting contractor's price either being deducted from any
 monies due the defaulting contractor or being an obligation owed the
 State by the defaulting contractor.

 regulations established by Federal and New Jersey State laws.

 5.12  All products shall be manufactured and packaged under modern
 sanitary conditions in accordance with good commercial practice.

 Conditions.  A performance bond is required.  The amount of the

 an independent testing laboratory or the refiner at no cost to the

 the Using Agency will take a one gallon sample from the top of the
 delivery wagon, seal the container and turn it over to the State's
 Testing Laboratory for testing.  If a Testing Laboratory is not
 available, the Using Agency will send it to an independent testing
 laboratory for the necessary testing, and the Contractor will be
 billed. The State has the right to cancel the contract at the
 contractor's expense for inferior deliveries, or if oil is found to

 the Evaluation Committee in this regard should not be construed to
 imply acceptance or rejection of a bid proposal.  The Purchase Bureau
 buyer will be the sole point of contact regarding any request for an
 oral presentation or clarification.

 written notice to that responsible bidder(s), whose bid proposal(s),

        Fuel Oil #6 (2.0% Sulfur)
        Consumer Tank Car Price - Amerada Hess


 A-4   EXAMPLE:

 The NEW LISBON DEVELOPMENT CENTER, located in New Lisbon, NJ (Line #
 00001), is ordering 1,000 gallons of #6 Fuel Oil (.3% Sulfur), from
 Amerada Hess on February 20, 2004.

 In order to prepare a Purchase Order (PB-2), the Using Agency (State
 ONLY) MUST use two (2) Contract Line Numbers, as follows -

       1.  The "CONSTANT UPCHARGE" (per gallon).  Refer to the NOA
           Contract Line Number at the State Agency location for which
           the fuel oil is being ordered.

       2.  The "JOURNAL OF COMMERCE", Consumer Tank Car Price, Daily
           Posting for the designated posting refiner or the average.

       The NJ State Agency then determines the following from the NOA
       and the Journal of Commerce:

       1.  The "CONSTANT UPCHARGE" (per gallon) in this example is
           +.048/Gal, taken from Contract Line #00001, of the NOA.

       2.  The "JOURNAL OF COMMERCE" posting for February 20, 2004
           Fuel Oil  #6  (.3% Sulfur), Consumer Tank Car Price -
           Amerada Hess, taken from Contract Line #00014 is .702/Gal
           (simulated).

           NOTE: In arriving at a gallon price for all fuel oils, the
                 pricing in the Journal of Commerce is listed as PRICE
                 PER BARREL, which has to be converted to gallons by
                 dividing the barrel price by 42, the number of gallons
                 contained in a barrel.

       The NJ State Agency then adds this data into the OFST Screen in
       order to prepare the Purchase Order.  The Header Section of the
       OFST Screen is entered in accordance with MACS-E Procedures, as
       follows:
