Proportional Economic Fuel Price Adjustment of Contract Price(S) Based on a Price Index (MAY 2026)

(a) To the extent that contract cost increases are provided for by this economic fuel price adjustment clause, the Contractor warrants that the prices in this contract for any option periods do not include any amount to protect against such contingent cost increases.

(b) Definitions.

(1) The cost index, for the purpose of fuel price adjustment under this clause, shall be:

i. Highway Diesel

EIA On-Highway Diesel Fuel Price – PADD 5xCA West Coast Less California https://www.eia.gov/dnav/pet/pet_pri_gnd_dcus_r5xca_w.htm Published weekly by the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), dollars per gallon.

(2) The Base Index, for the purposes of price adjustment under this clause, shall be the most recent Index published prior to the closing date for receipt of offers, or the due date for receipt of best and final offers if negotiations are held. This Base Index shall remain constant throughout the life of the contract, including all options.

(3) The Adjusting Index shall be the most recent Index published prior to the date of contract adjustment, as specified in paragraph (f).

(c) For purposes of this clause, it will be conclusively presumed that 15 percent (%) of the price of each cubic yard, foot, mile, and ton as indicated on the schedule of items represents the Base Cost of Highway Diesel and the resulting Base Cost will be the basis upon which adjustment will be made under this clause. This Base Cost will be used in calculating all adjustments to the following line items:

• Cut/Skid/Deck Tractor Units Item 4-ALL

• Cut/Skid/Deck Skyline/Tether Units Item 5-ALL https://www.eia.gov/dnav/pet/pet_pri_gnd_dcus_r5xca_w.htm

• Load/Haul/Road Maintenance Items 6-ALL

• Road Reconstruction Items: 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 7.4, 7.5, 7.6, 7.7, 7.8, 7.9, 7.10, 7.11, 7.12, 7.13, 7.14, 7.15, 7.16, 7.17, 7.18, 7.25, and 7.26

• Fuels and Reforestation Items: 8.1, 8.2, 8.4, 8.6, 8.8, 8.81, 8.82, 8.10, and 8.11

• Temporary Road Construction and Obliteration Item 9-ALL

• Erosion Control Item 10-ALL

A new Base Cost will be calculated annually based on the newly adjusted year prices. Price adjustments under this clause may result in either an increase or a decrease to the contract or unit price(s), depending on whether the Adjusting Index is higher or lower than the Base Index.

(d) The percentage of the price of the indexed commodity (see paragraph (c)) remains fixed throughout the life of the contract and is not subject to modification under this clause. Any pricing actions pursuant to the “Changes” clause or other clause or provision of the contract, except for this clause, will be priced as though there were no provisions for economic price adjustment.

(e) All price adjustments, whether increases or decreases, shall be applicable only to the specific contract adjustment period to which the calculations are made. For every contract adjustment period, new calculations shall be made and new prices determined, in accordance with the Adjusting Index. Every adjustment during the Base Year shall be based on the original contract prices for that contract year and every adjustment during an option year shall be based on the original contract prices for that option year. The Contracting Officer must make new calculations for each and every contract adjustment period specified in paragraph (f).

(f) The dates of contract adjustment shall be annually 30 days prior to the start of the declared operating season. The Contracting Officer shall retain a copy of the Base Index in the contract file and, on each date of adjustment specified herein, obtain a copy of the Adjusting Index. The Contracting Officer shall calculate the adjustment due and shall, within 5 business days, issue a unilateral modification to the contract adjusting the contract or unit price(s), in accordance with the Adjusting Index. All adjusted prices shall be rounded to the nearest $0.01.The adjusted contract or unit price(s) shall be effective for all orders placed or services provided after the date of contract adjustment, as specified in this paragraph (f), until the date of the next contract adjustment. If the Contracting Officer fails to act, the Contractor shall, within 30 days of the start of the declared operating season, request a contract adjustment in writing and any subsequent adjustment shall be retroactive to the applicable date of contract adjustment.

(g) An example of an adjustment calculation is provided herein for informational purposes only.

(1) For purposes of this example, assume that a contract is for timber hauling services, that the contract price is $30.00 per ton, that price adjustments will be made on the basis of the cost of diesel, that the cost of diesel represents 15% of the total cost per ton (the Base Cost is 15% of $30 (the per ton price in Line Item X)), and that contract adjustments will be made annually. If the Base Index (the price of diesel the week prior to receipt of bids) is $4.53 per gallon and the price of diesel at the first date of contract adjustment is $5.80 per gallon, the calculations for contract price adjustment would be as follows:

Adjusting Index (most recent Index cost of gasoline as of the date of the first adjustment period) $5.80 per gallon.

Minus the Base Index (Index cost of gasoline as of the date of receipt of offers) −$4.53 per gallon.

Equals increase (or decrease) to the Base Index $1.27

Divide increase (or decrease) to the Base Index by the Base Index $1.27/ $4.53 = .28 * (28% increase).

Apply fuel fraction adjustment 0.15 * .28 = .04

New Ton Price

30.00 * 1.04 = 31.20 per ton

(2) For the second contract adjustment period, all calculations would be based on the original contract bid price, $4.53 per gallon in this example. If the price of diesel reduced to $4.25 per gallon, the calculations for the second economic price adjustment period would be as follows:

Adjusting Index (most recent Index cost of gasoline as of the date of the second adjustment period) $4.25 per gallon.

Minus the Base Index (Index cost of gasoline as of the date of receipt of offers) −$4.53 per gallon.

Equals increase (or decrease) to Base Index -$0.28

Divide increase (or decrease) to the Base Index by the Base Index -$0.28 / -$4.53 = -0.06 (6 % decrease).

Apply fuel fraction adjustment 0.15 *- .06 =- 0.01

New Ton Price

30.00 * -1.01= 29.70 per ton

(h) Price adjustments pursuant to this clause, which shall be made by contract modification issued by the Contracting Officer, shall show the Base Index (see paragraph (b)(1)), the Adjusting Index, the Base Cost (see paragraph (c)), the mathematical calculations used to arrive at the adjusted contract unit price, and the effective date of the adjustment.

(i) In the event that U.S. Energy Information Administration discontinues, or alters substantially, its method of calculating the Index cited herein, the parties shall mutually agree upon an appropriate substitute for determining the price adjustment described herein. If the Index is temporarily unavailable on the date of adjustment, the most recently published value shall be used until the Index resumes. If the Contracting Officer determines that the Index consistently and substantially fails to reflect market conditions, the Contracting Officer may modify the contract to specify use of an appropriate substitute index, effective on the date the Index specified herein begins to consistently and substantially fail to reflect market conditions.

(j) Any dispute arising under this clause shall subject to the “Disputes” clause of the contract.

(End of clause)

52.222-43 FAIR LABOR STANDARDS ACT AND SERVICE CONTRACT LABOR STANDARDS-PRICE

ADJUSTMENT (MULTIPLE YEAR AND OPTION CONTRACTS).(NOV 2025)

(a) This clause applies to both contracts subject to area prevailing wage determinations and contracts subject to collective bargaining agreements.

(b) The Contractor warrants that the prices in this contract do not include any allowance for any contingency to cover increased costs for which adjustment is provided under this clause.

(c) The wage determination, issued under the Service Contract Labor Standards statute, ( 41 U.S.C. chapter 67), by the Administrator, Wage and Hour Division, U.S. Department of Labor, current on the anniversary date of a multiple year contract or the beginning of each renewal option period, must apply to this contract. If no such determination has been made applicable to this contract, then the Federal minimum wage as established by section 6(a)(1) of the Fair Labor Standards Act of1938, as amended, ( 29 U.S.C. 206) current on the anniversary date of a multiple year contract or the beginning of each renewal option period, must apply to this contract.

(d) The contract price, contract unit price labor rates, or fixed hourly labor rates will be adjusted to reflect the Contractor’s actual increase or decrease in applicable wages and fringe benefits to the extent that the increase is made to comply with or the decrease is voluntarily made by the Contractor as a result of:

(1) The Department of Labor wage determination applicable on the anniversary date of the multiple year contract, or at the beginning of the renewal option period. For example, the prior year wage determination required a minimum wage rate of $4.00 per hour. The Contractor chose to pay $4.10.

The new wage determination increases the minimum rate to $4.50 per hour. Even if the Contractor voluntarily increases the rate to $4.75 per hour, the allowable price adjustment is $.40 per hour;

(2) An increased or decreased wage determination otherwise applied to the contract by operation of law; or

(3) An amendment to the Fair Labor Standards Act of1938 that is enacted after award of this contract, affects the minimum wage, and becomes applicable to this contract under law.

(e) Any adjustment will be limited to increases or decreases in wages and fringe benefits as described in paragraph (d) of this clause, and the accompanying increases or decreases in social security and unemployment taxes and workers’ compensation insurance, but must not otherwise include any amount for general and administrative costs, overhead, or profit.

(f) The Contractor must notify the Contracting Officer of any increase claimed under this clause within 30 days after receiving a new wage determination unless this notification period is extended in writing by the Contracting Officer. The Contractor must promptly notify the Contracting Officer of any decrease under this clause, but nothing in the clause shall preclude the Government from asserting a claim within the period permitted by law. The notice must contain a statement of the amount claimed and the change in fixed hourly rates (if this is a time-and-materials or labor-hour contract), and any relevant supporting data, including payroll records, that the Contracting Officer may reasonably require. Upon agreement of the parties, the contract price, contract unit price labor rates, or fixed hourly rates must be modified in writing. The Contractor must continue performance pending agreement on or determination of any such adjustment and its effective date.

(g) The Contracting Officer or an authorized representative must have access to and the right to examine any directly pertinent books, documents, papers and records of the Contractor until the expiration of 3 years after final payment under the contract.
