JLchief55 Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 In order to insure that the supplies will be unloaded by the trucking company what do I need to make sure I have in the contract? Is it the norm that they don't unload and that the govt is responsible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bremen Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 Please look at FAR 47.303-1 F.o.b. destination, within consignee's premises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AAC Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 In order to insure that the supplies will be unloaded by the trucking company what do I need to make sure I have in the contract? Is it the norm that they don't unload and that the govt is responsible? Check the clause at 52.247-15 As stated in 47.207-5 (e) Loading and unloading: The contracting officer shall insert the clause at 52.247-15, Contractor Responsibility for Loading and Unloading, when the contractor is responsible for loading and unloading shipments Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craigmccaa Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 JL - I think the answer depends on what your're contracting for - which you haven't told us. If it's supplies, bremen's suggestion works (make sure you provide details regarding the specific location within the consignee's premises); if it's transportation, AAC's suggestion works.

charles Posted December 23, 2009 Report Share Posted December 23, 2009 I believe your question is intended to ?ensure? certainty of performance not ?insure? mitigation of risk. The previous posts suggest inserting the correct clause. Granted KTRs should read and understand the terms and conditions of the K. However, I suggest you communicate this expectation to potential KTRs during your solicitation. Happy Holidays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
