Conversely, if ASTM D 5142 is used for Residual Moisture, ASTM D 5142 must be used for Ash.\n(ii) Sample analysis and other data required by TVA to match data with shipment shall be provided to TVA in a format approved by TVA.\n(iii) The lot size for each sample shall be by barge for barge coal, by trainload for rail coal, and by daily delivery for truck coal.\n(iv) Analysis for each sample shall have been received by TVA by electronic data interchange within seven (7) days of collection of said sample.\n(v) The sampling system shall be located in an area acceptable to TVA such that the sample collected for shipment is collected only from coal that is loaded for said shipment. If Contractor fails to sample ninety-five percent (95%) and TVA samples twenty percent (20%) or more of the tonnage received, and if any of Contractor\u2019s samples for the affected quarter do not meet all of the above criteria, TVA samples shall be used for said quarterly adjustment(s). If TVA samples less than twenty percent (20%) of the tonnage received and any of Contractor\u2019s samples do not meet all of the above criteria, no adjustment for quality will be made for said quarter.\nb. In the event Contractor\u2019s mechanical sampling system is not operating due to mechanical, electrical, or operational failure, Contractor shall notify TVA and the parties shall agree upon an alternative method of sampling.\nc. Contractor agrees to ensure that all sampling equipment is properly maintained and adjusted so that each sample taken is proportionate and representative of the coal delivered. TVA or its designated representative may observe any sampling or sample preparation performed by Contractor. Contractor shall furnish the results of bias tests on the sampling system, and the results must be acceptable to TVA. The sample system shall be bias tested at least every twelve (12) months.\nd. Contractor shall prepare the samples in accordance with ASTM D 2013 and shall divide such samples into three splits and place in suitable airtight containers. Contractor will analyze the first split and fax the results to the Contract Administrator who administers this Contract for TVA and to the Coal Records Clerk and Yard Operations Supervisor at the Destination Plant. Except as provided below, the Contractor\u2019s results obtained on this first split will be utilized by TVA to determine whether or not the coal covered by the sample will be unloaded at the Destination Plant. TVA reserves the right not to unload coal at the Destination Plant until after the appropriate analysis is received. Contractor shall be responsible for any demurrage charges incurred by TVA as a result of failure to transmit the analyses when and as required. TVA may reject coal based on these analyses. Within twenty-four (24) hours of barge loading, Contractor shall send the second split identified by such sample number directly to an independent laboratory (to be agreed upon by TVA and Contractor) by expedited delivery for analysis. The analysis results obtained from the second split shall supersede the first split sample results and will be utilized for all contract purposes, and determining the price adjustment required to compensate for the difference between the quality of the coal actually shipped and the contract guaranteed analysis. The third split (\u201creferee sample\u201d) will be retained by Contractor for a minimum of sixty (60) days to be analyzed by the second independent laboratory (to be agreed upon by TVA and Contractor) in the event of a disagreement between the parties regarding the results obtained on either of the other two splits. If the results of the referee analysis indicate the analysis was improperly performed or the results of the referee analysis are not within ASTM reproducibility limits with the first independent laboratory results, then the referee analysis result will be conclusive between the parties in regard to the analysis of the sample in question. The cost of any such referee analysis shall be borne by the party that requested it, provided that if adjustment is made, then the cost of any such analysis shall be equally shared by both parties.", "samples": [{"hash": "a3A2z34eNCF", "uri": "/contracts/a3A2z34eNCF#sampling-and-analysis", "label": "Coal Supply Agreement (Patriot Coal CORP)", "score": 21.0, "published": true}, {"hash": "2CU21UjEdi7", "uri": "/contracts/2CU21UjEdi7#sampling-and-analysis", "label": "Coal Supply Agreement (Patriot Coal CORP)", "score": 21.0, "published": true}], "hash": "efadc138fc8c6009fb3fc4dfaea38dc7", "id": 4}, {"snippet_links": [{"key": "to-dtsc", "type": "clause", "offset": [22, 29]}, {"key": "analytical-methods", "type": "definition", "offset": [101, 119]}, {"key": "highway-projects", "type": "clause", "offset": [178, 194]}, {"key": "effective-date-of-the-agreement", "type": "definition", "offset": [217, 248]}], "size": 4, "snippet": "Caltrans shall submit to DTSC a sampling and analysis summary that describes sampling activities and analytical methods typically used to characterize potential contamination at highway projects within 60 days of the Effective Date of the Agreement. /// 2 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28", "samples": [{"hash": "4NXnfK6hIK7", "uri": "/contracts/4NXnfK6hIK7#sampling-and-analysis", "label": "Soil Management Agreement", "score": 26.4247570038, "published": true}, {"hash": "kryAWtN2euT", "uri": "/contracts/kryAWtN2euT#sampling-and-analysis", "label": "Soil Management Agreement", "score": 22.2443523407, "published": true}, {"hash": "5BoKYI0Kqqo", "uri": "/contracts/5BoKYI0Kqqo#sampling-and-analysis", "label": "Soil Management Agreement", "score": 20.2443523407, "published": true}], "hash": "a4a05cb789626bd8f1489fc8494462c2", "id": 6}, {"snippet_links": [{"key": "unless-otherwise-agreed", "type": "clause", "offset": [0, 23]}, {"key": "representative-samples", "type": "clause", "offset": [25, 47]}, {"key": "the-product", "type": "definition", "offset": [51, 62]}, {"key": "quantity-of", "type": "clause", "offset": [100, 111]}, {"key": "at-seller", "type": "definition", "offset": [176, 185]}, {"key": "right-to-be-represented", "type": "clause", "offset": [381, 404]}, {"key": "own-cost", "type": "clause", "offset": [412, 420]}, {"key": "in-the-event-of", "type": "clause", "offset": [652, 667]}, {"key": "quality-analysis", "type": "clause", "offset": [683, 699]}, {"key": "duration-of", "type": "definition", "offset": [875, 886]}, {"key": "date-of", "type": "clause", "offset": [905, 912]}], "size": 4, "snippet": "Unless otherwise agreed, representative samples of the product shall be drawn from 10% of the total quantity of the packed products selected at random by independent surveyors at Seller\u2019s premises.
