PRICE REVISION CLAUSE:
Whenever possible, the City of La Marque desires firm prices for the full contract period.
It is recognized by the City of La Marque 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
of La Marque 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
4
the preceding sentence. However, the City of La Marque 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 of La Marque 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 of La Marque 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.
