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 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
not price information offered, nor can bids be considered where prices in
effect at the time of shipment are offered.
