PRICE REVISION CLAUSE:

Whenever possible, the City prefers firm pricing for the full contract period. However, it is

recognized that bidders may be unwilling to guarantee unit prices for the entire contract term

due to potential changes from their source of supply.

In such instances, an asterisk (*) must be placed next to any item for which the bidder is

unwilling to guarantee pricing for the full contract period. The duration of the guaranteed pricing

period must be noted on a separate sheet. These items will be subject to price adjustments due

to increases or decreases in the bidder’s source of supply during the term of the contract.

INCREASES:

Permissible price revisions shall not exceed the actual unit cost or percentage cost increase

from the bidder’s source of supply. The City will generally accept price increases noted in the

bid proposal when such increases are reasonable and within the limits described above.

However, the City reserves the right to obtain items from an alternate source if price increases

are deemed excessive.

DECREASES:

If a vendor utilizes this price revision clause, any decrease in cost from the bidder’s source of

supply during the contract term shall be passed on to the City.

NOTICE REQUIREMENT:

The City must receive thirty (30) days written notice prior to any price increase or decrease. Bids

submitted without pricing information will not be considered. Additionally, bids based on prices

in effect at the time of shipment will not be accepted.
