Payment for Forest Products Delivered Purchaser agrees to pay the State for delivered forest products at the following rate: $0.00/MBF $250.00/MBF for incorrect species delivery* $20/mbf for Utility logs (Adjusted Gross). Purchaser agrees to increase the above delivered payment rate as approved by the State in the event the location of delivery is changed per the G-026.2 clause. Purchaser will not be billed for any delivered logs that are scaled as containing metal. *When two or more log sorts from this project are delivered to the same destination, the species contained in them are not eligible for the species price reduction. Forest Products delivered that do not meet the sorting specifications in G-022.2 are considered mis-sorts. Purchaser receiving mis-sort Forest Products is required to pay the State at the bid price under this contract. However, when mis-sorted Forest Products amount to more than 5% of the total delivered sort volume, Purchaser may request approval for payment reduction for delivered volume exceeding the mis-sort threshold. Requests for payment reduction must be submitted to the State in writing prior to contract expiration. Eligibility for mis-sort payment reduction is subject to State approval and shall be determined by the State’s delivered product analysis. Forest Products determined by the State eligible for mis-sort price reduction are not eligible for any other price adjustments. Payment reduction for Forest Products deemed mis-sorted will be calculated as follows: Payment Reduction = (B x M) x R M = Mis-sorted volume exceeding threshold excluding utility R = Reduction factor* 0.2 for diameter mis-sort 0.3 for high quality mis-sort *Logs eligible for payment reduction based on multiple reduction factors will be calculated at the higher payment reduction factor. Third-party scaling organization information is required to determine Xxxxxxxx mbf for payment reduction purposes. Value will be derived from the applicable sort value as described in this contract. Scale information for determining mis-sort payment reduction eligibility must be obtained from roll-out scale. Truck-ramp, sample scaling, and/or bundle scaling information is not acceptable for determining eligibility. Purchaser’s exclusive remedy for mis-sorts shall be the payment reduction described in this clause, notwithstanding other provisions in the Uniform Commercial Code Forest Products delivered that do not meet preferred log length specifications or multiples or combinations of preferred lengths and Forest Products delivered not meeting manufacturing standards as described in clause G-024.2 are considered mis- manufactured. Purchaser receiving mis-manufactured Forest Products is required to pay the State at the bid price under this contract. However, when mis-manufactured Forest Products amount to more than 8% of the total delivered sort volume, Purchaser may request approval for payment reduction for delivered volume exceeding the mis-manufacture threshold. Requests for payment reduction must be submitted to the State in writing prior to contract expiration. Eligibility for mis-manufacture payment reduction is subject to State approval and shall be determined by the State’s delivered product analysis. Forest Products determined by the State eligible for mis-manufacture price reductions are not eligible for any other price adjustments. Payment reduction for Forest Products deemed mis-manufactured will be calculated as follows: Payment Reduction = (B x M) x (0.2) Where: B = Bid rate from P-028.2 clause M = Mis-manufactured volume exceeding threshold excluding utility Third-party scaling organization information is required to determine Xxxxxxxx mbf for payment reduction purposes. Value will be derived from the applicable sort value as described in this contract. Scale information for determining mis-manufacture payment reduction eligibility must be obtained from roll-out scale. Truck-ramp, sample scaling, and/or bundle scaling information is not acceptable for determining eligibility. Purchaser’s exclusive remedy for mis-manufacture shall be the payment reduction described in this clause, notwithstanding other provisions in the Uniform Commercial Code.
