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 costs 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 price 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.

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.
