Demand Fluctuation Management Clause Samples

Demand Fluctuation Management. The Contractor must proactively and reactively manage fluctuations in demand so that Authorized Users do not experience disruptions in the reliable delivery of bulk motor fuel products. The Contractor shall do so through providing the redundant supply, storage, carrier and other Products and Services described in this Section I, Supply Chain. Additionally, in order to insure reliable delivery to Authorized Users during seasonal shortages and to minimize the impacts of other supply distributions, the Contractor shall enter into supply agreements to secure 100% of the Commonwealth’s estimated annual volume on a monthly usage basis for the awarded districts. The Contractor shall also supplement their carrier staff with approximately 30 additional winter seasonal drivers. The Contractor shall host an annual demand fluctuation management meeting, which should take place in the first half of October of each year. The topics should include an overview of the Contractor’s operations, contact information, the card-lock unattended fueling station network, winter storm management plans, automated delivery via tank monitoring, and a round table discussion on winter challenges. The desired outcome of this meeting is to review the Contractor’s winter demand plans, obtain Authorized Users’ input on the plans, and make any adjustments needed to better prepare for the winter demand spike.
