Bilateral Contract Administration Services
Program Overview
×îÐÂÂ鶹ÊÓƵ’s Bilateral Contract Administration Services provides administration services in the form of collection, maintenance and dissemination of specific data in support of bilateral agreements between non-UIIA intermodal equipment owners/providers and Motor Carriers participating in the Uniform Intermodal Interchange and Facilities Access Agreement (UIIA) program, as well as non-UIIA trucking companies.
In comparison to the UIIA, the BCAS program does not provide management of a standard interchange contract and commercial EP addenda (including notification of changes related to addenda terms), nor does it have the benefit of ×îÐÂÂ鶹ÊÓƵ’s binding arbitration process that is offered under the UIIA program.
