2.5 Annual Rate Adjustments

Prices established in the award shall remain firm through June 30, 2027. Beginning with July 1, 2027 and each succeeding July 1 for the term of the award document, rate adjustments may be made and will be based on an average of the prior 12 months of Consumer Price Index (CPI) rates for All Urban Consumers (Chained) that are published prior to the May 15 that the rate increase is due to take effect. Only one such increase will be allowed in any 12-month period of this Contract. In no event shall the rates set for consecutive fiscal years be less than the prior fiscal year’s prices.

CPI rate adjustments can be found at the following web address:

http://data.bls.gov – (Select:All Urban Consumers (chained CPI)/All Urban Consumers/ All items/not seasonally adjusted – click the more formatting options and choose 12-month percent change)

Rate adjustments may be made and will be based on the percent change in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for All Urban Consumers (Chained CPI) during the most recent 12-month period. The Bureau of Labor Statistics generates CPI. If the All Urban Consumers (Chained CPI) database is discontinued, the State may use an equivalent database at its discretion. To ensure fairness at the time of adjustment, the average https://osc.colorado.gov/spco/central-contracts-unit/purchase-order-terms-conditions/state-of-colorado-purchase-order-terms http://data.bls.gov percentage will be calculated from the most recent 12-month period for which data is available at a time reasonably in advance of the renewal date. When calculating these rate adjustments, rounding shall be handled as follows: any price increase shall be rounded up to nearest whole dollar if the first decimal place number is 5 or greater; if the first decimal place number is 4 or less the price rate will be rounded down.
