PRICE REVISION CLAUSE:

Whenever possible, the City desires firm prices for the full contract period. It is

recognized by the City that qualified bidders may be unwilling to guarantee each

category of unit prices during the entire period of this contract because of price

changes from the bidder’s source of supply.

In such instances, an asterisk (*) must be placed by the item or items which the

bidder is unwilling to guarantee the price for the full contract period, and the partial

period of the contract price should be noted on a separate sheet. Such items will be

subject to price changes due to increases or decreases in cost from the bidder source

of supply during the term of the contract.

INCREASES: Permissible price revisions in any event shall not exceed the actual unit

cost or percentage cost revisions from the bidder’s source of supply. It will ordinarily

be the policy of the City to accept prices increases which have been noted in the bid

proposal when the amount of such increase is reasonable and does not exceed the

limit set out in the preceding sentence. However, the city reserves the right to

obtain a different source of items which have been increased in price.

Page 4 of 14

DECREASES: If a vendor does take advantage of this “price revision clause”, the City

will expect any decreases in cost from the bidder’s source of supply during the term

of the contract to lower the City’s price for such item or items.

NOTE: The City must have thirty (30) days written notice prior to any increase or

decrease in existing prices.

A bid will not be considered where there is no price information offered,

nor can bids be considered where prices in effect at the time of shipment

are offered.
