b. a specified percentage;

c. a capped not-to-exceed dollar amount or percentage (e.g., annual increases will never exceed the lesser of $1,000.00 or 3%, per year over the prior year’s fee amounts);

d. or some other formula (e.g., a specific Producer Price Index or Consumer Price Index).

7. If proposing a price escalation mechanism for future years of an agreement where a specified dollar amount or specified percentage has not been proposed (e.g., if using a CPI), Offerors should also clearly describe the process and timing for Offeror to notify County of any such increase and the process by which County would approve such an increase in future years. County, at its sole discretion, reserves the right to accept any given proposed fees and price escalation mechanism and process for any agreement term length.
