Program Updates/Discussion • Fuel Surcharge • Update base charge for FY15? • Standard Transportation Times Discussion • Is an update warranted? • STOS Updates • When is IFF paid? • Accessorials • International Shipments • Update to Detention Charge Accessorial #350 - Procure standard daily rate) • Minimum Charge (apply flat minimum charge rate across all distance bands instead of different minimum charges for each of the 88 distance bands) • New Accessorial #60 – After hours Emergency Service
Min/Max AccessorialSTOS Update Background: • There are 13 accesorials in GSA STOS (known as options in TPI) that require min and max charges • In TMSS, TSPs were bidding the same % for the unit rate, min and max charges • In the first procurement cycle in TPI, TSPs were required to bid absolute values for the unit rate and the minimum charge. There was no provision to bid for max charges and the max charges in TPI were containing the STOS max charges Going Forward: • Until a provision is made to accept the bid for max charges, the max charges in STOS are being adjusted to fair market value; • The max charge payable is based on market research (Pending*) • The revised max charges will be the actual charges applied towards the shipment cost • In the interim (until September 30, 2014), the max charge will be computed external to the system by applying the ratio of the bid min charge and the min charge to the max charge
Min/Max Accessorial, Cont. Interim Computation for remainder of FY14: • Accesorial: 425 – Hydraulic Lift Gate Service • Current Baseline Min Charge: $40.92 • Current Baseline Max Charge: $102.10 • TSP Bid for the min charge: $85 • % decrease/increase in bid: 208% (= 85/40.92) • Prorated Max Charge payable 208% of $102.10 = $212.08 Computation for FY 15: • Accesorial: 425 – Hydraulic Lift Gate Service • Baseline Min Charge: $40.92 • New Max Charge: $300 (as an example) • $300 will be the actual max charge applied for the shipment
Min/Max Accessorial, Cont. Accessorial(Options) in STOS with min & max charges
Min/Max Accessorial, Cont. Analysis of the FY14 data shows inconsistencies in TSP bids hence adjusting the baseline using this data is not a viable option. Recommended Options: a) A flat % (say 200) increase could be applied to the current max baseline charge b) Validate this assumption with a focus group of TSPs
Min/Max Accessorial, Cont. STOS Update Text: The maximum charges for the accesorials listed below have been updated to reflect fair market price. The amounts in the column “Updated STOS Max Charge” are the actual charges payable. TSPs cannot bid on the maximum charges for these accessorials; however TSPs may continue to bid on the minimum charges. The charges are effective from October 1, 2014 and remain in effect until further updates are made or a provision is made in TPI to update the maximum charges. If bid minimum charge exceeds STOS maximum charge, STOS maximum charge will apply.
