PGI 247.271-3 Solicitation provisions, schedule formats, and contract clauses.

(c)  DoD 4500.9-R, Defense Transportation Regulation, Part IV, Appendix G-3 (available at http://www.transcom.mil/j5/pt/dtrpart4/dtr-part-4-app-g3.pdf), contains guidance on schedules as follows:

Schedule I Outbound Services, Pages 18-24.

Schedule II Inbound Services, Pages 25-29.

Schedule III Intra-City and Intra-Area Moves, Page 30.

(1)  Demurrage and detention charges.

(i)  Carrier demurrage/detention is a charge made against a consignor (shipper) or consignee (receiver) for the extended use of carrier-furnished equipment when delays attributable to the consignor or consignee occur. Carrier demurrage/detention rules usually allow a period of free time for loading, unloading, or holding equipment.

(ii)  Carrier-published demurrage/detention rules and charges are not uniform from one carrier to another. Contracting officers should specifically address them in the contract. While demurrage/detention rules are published in individual carrier tariffs or agency tenders, Contracting Officers may negotiate contract-specific demurrage/detention rules and charges independent of any existing tariffs or tenders.

(6)  Process any modification of schedule format, other than those authorized in paragraph (c) of this subsection, as a request for deviation to the Commander, SDDC.
