EXTENSION OF CONTRACT TERM: At the request of the Government, the term of any contract resulting from this solicitation may be extended for such period of time as may be mutually agreeable to the GPO and the contractor.

ECONOMIC PRICE ADJUSTMENT: The prices set forth in this contract shall be adjusted in accordance with the provisions of this clause, provided that, in no event will prices be revised to exceed the maximum permissible under any law existing as of the date of the contract or as may be hereafter promulgated.

Price adjustment period: For the purpose of this clause, the program years shall comply with the Contract Term clause. There shall be no price adjustment for orders placed during the first program year of this contract.

Price adjustment: The prices shall be adjusted on the basis of the "Consumer Price Index For All Urban Consumers - Commodities Less Food, Seasonally Adjusted," published monthly in the CPI Detailed Report by the Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, in the following manner:

(1) The contract price of orders placed during the adjusted period (excluding reimbursable postage or transportation costs) shall be adjusted by the percentage increase or decrease in the average, seasonally adjusted Consumer Price Index For All Urban Consumers - Commodities Less Food (seasonally adjusted) as follows: An index shall be calculated by averaging the 12 seasonally adjusted months ending 3 months prior to the expiration of the first period of the contract. This average is then compared with the average index for the 12-month period ending 3 months prior to the beginning of the contract, called the base index. The percentage increase or decrease by comparing these two indexes shall be applied to the contractor's invoices for orders placed during the price adjustment period.

(2) The Government will notify the contractor in writing of the percentage increase or decrease to be applied to any invoices to be submitted for orders subject to price adjustment in accordance with this clause. Such percentage will be determined from the published index as set forth above.

Any applicable discounts will be calculated on the basis of the invoice price as adjusted.

If the Government exercises an option, the extended contract shall be considered to include this economic price adjustment clause.

Delays caused by the contractor's failure to notify the Department and GPO at least 96 hours in advance of the production run will be the responsibility of the contractor and the schedule cannot be extended due to these delays.

The contractor must be able to provide the following equipment in working order for use during press sheet inspections:

(a) A calibrated densitometer at press site, for the purpose of monitoring density, dot gain, contrast, trapping, hue error, and ink coverage.

(b) A prooflite such as a color balance system that closely approximates a phase of natural daylight equal to at least 5000 degree Kelvin. It should be mounted in a viewing booth with the lights set at the proper angles.

(c) A standard viewer for color transparencies that will accommodate 4 x 5 inch or larger transparencies with 5000 degree Kelvin light source.

All of the above equipment should be mounted in the color booth and made available for the press sheet inspection.

Press sheets must contain control bars for each color of ink on the sheet. Control bars must be placed parallel to the press's ink rollers. The control bars must show areas consisting of 3/16 x 3/16" minimum solid color patches; tint patches of 25, 50, and 75%; dot gain scale (such as, BRUNNER, GATE, GRETAG, or RIT); and gray balance patches for process colors (if applicable). These areas must be repeated across the entire press sheet. Density must be constant across full width of the sheet with deviations not to exceed +/- .05%. Light and heavy inking is not acceptable.
