DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE
Department of the Army
Addition to MTMC Freight Traffic Rules Publication No. 1A
AGENCY: Military Traffic Management Command, DOD.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Military Traffic Management Command (MTMC), as the
Department of Defense (DOD) Traffic Manager for surface and surface
intermodal traffic management services (DTR vol. 1, pg. 101-113),
hereby adds a new rule, entitled ``Electronic Spot Bid Application,''
as a new item (Item 6) to MFTRP No. 1A. The purpose of the change is to
establish a rule for a new process (Electronic Spot Bid) of soliciting
and awarding freight shipments. Information about this new process was
published in the Federal Register, vol. 64, no. 14, pages 3488-3490,
Friday, January 22, 1999.
DATES: This change is effective July 1, 1999.
ADDRESSES: Points of Contact: Headquarters, Military Traffic Management
Command, ATTN: MTOP-JF, Room 608, 5611 Columbia Pike, Falls Church, VA
22041-5050, fax: 703-681-9871 atn: Jerome Colton, e-mail:
coltonj@mtmc.army.mil.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For additional information contact Mr.
Jerome Colton at (703) 681-1417.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Effective July 1, 1999, MFTRP 1A will
contain a new item (Item 6), entitled ``Electronic Spot Bid
Application,'' with the following text:.
1. The single-factor rate for Spot Bid shipments includes both the
line haul and all required accessorial/protective services identified
by the shipper at the time of solicitation. This single-factor rate
does not alternate with any other rates or tenders. This non-
alternation for Spot Bid takes precedence over any alternation rule
found elsewhere in this publication.
2. If a requirement for any additional accessorial/protective
service(s) is identified:
a. after solicitation but before pickup: the solicitation (and
award, if applicable) will be canceled, and the shipment resolicited to
include the additional services.
b. during/after pickup: the charges for the additional requirements
will be negotiated with the carrier by MTMC and/or the TO. A basis for
comparison for such negotiations may be rates on file for accessorial/
protective services shown in current approved carrier voluntary
tenders.
3. If the need for fewer accessorial/protective services is
identified after solicitation but before pickup, DOD reserves the right
to cancel the award and resolicit the shipment based on the new
requirements.
4. The rules in this publication will apply to shipments awarded
via the Electronic Spot Bid process.
5. Spot Bids will be processed through the Deployment Support
Command (DSC) on behalf of those TOs who are unable to do so
electronically.
