One vendor inquiry addressed the pricing structure, specifically requesting that TCEQ consider allowing price escalation based on the Consumer Price Index or a fixed annual price escalation when the contract is extended beyond the initial 5.5-year period. TCEQ responded that the contract price is fixed and firm over the 5-year period with no allowance for price increases or changes.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
1) Question:
We are working on a response to this Big Bend RFP, and have a question regarding the Special Terms and Conditions.
The RFP requires that prices be fixed for up to 5.5 years from the date of submittal. This results in higher prices, since the contractor must cover the risk of inflation and unknown changes. Would TCEQ consider allowing a price escalation when the contract is extended (ex. based on the Consumer Price Index), or a fixed annual price escalation?
TCEQ Response:
This contract covers 5 years, and the price is fixed and firm over the 5-year period. We do not allow for an increase or a change in the price.
