In case of errors in extension, UNIT prices shall govern. Prices for all goods and/or services shall be firm for the one-year period and shall be stated on the tabulation sheet.

2.5. PRICE ADJUSTMENTS
During the term of the awarded contract, the contract price may be adjusted as follows. Provided, however, the
Index-Based Adjustments provision is the default adjustment provision. The adjustment provisions are not cumulative. The price adjustments below are subject to the change order limitations in Loc. Gov. Code §
252.048, as well as to the availability of appropriated funds.
A. Index-Based Adjustments: Prices must be firm for a period of one year from date of contract award.
Any request for price adjustment not based on a change in tariffs must be based on the Houston CPI.
The price will be increased or decreased based upon the annual percentage change in the Houston CPI.
The maximum escalation will not exceed +/- 2.5% for any individual year. The escalation will be determined annually at the renewal date. The supplier should provide documentation as percentage of each cost associated with the unit prices quoted for consideration.
1. Vendors are required to immediately implement any price decrease or discount increase that may become available. The City of Sugar Land must be notified in writing for updating the contract.
2. Request must be submitted in writing with supporting evidence for need of such increase to the
Purchasing Manager at least 60 days prior to contract expiration of each year. Respondent must also provide supporting documentation as justification for the request.
3. Upon receipt of such request, the City of Sugar Land reserves the right to either: accept the escalation as competitive with the general market price at the time, and become effective upon the renewal date of the contract award or reject the increases within 30 calendar days after receipt of a properly submitted request. If a properly submitted increase is rejected, the Contractor may request cancellation of such items from the Contract by giving the City of Sugar Land written notice.
Cancellation will not go into effect for 15 calendar days after a determination has been issued. Pre-price increase prices must be honored on orders dated up to the official date of the City of Sugar
Land approval and/or cancellation.
4. If there has been an approved Cost-Based Adjustment due to Tariffs within six (6) months of the renewal date, escalation based on CPI will be unavailable for the renewal term.
5. Any price escalation based on CPI will result in a corresponding increase to the Baseline Price(s)
(“Adjusted Baseline Price(s)”).
B. Cost-Based Adjustments due to Tariffs: It is understood and recognized that certain markets providing essential materials for the water parts are experiencing or are expected to experience significant, industry-wide economic fluctuation during the performance of the awarded contract that may impact price, availability, and delivery time frames (“Potentially Time and Price-Impacted Material(s)”). These fluctuations are due changes in tariffs established by the federal government, which may result in increases or decreases outside the range of the Houston CPI. It is intended that the awarded contract will provide for a fair allocation of the risk of such market conditions between the City and the successful bidder, which will apply only to the Potentially Time and Price-Impacted Materials(s) which are noted as such on the Pricing Form made part of this ITB.
1. Baseline Price. The Unit Prices on the submitted Pricing Form will be considered the market prices as of the date of the awarded contract (“Baseline Price(s)”).
2. Adjustment in Baseline Price. If during the term of the awarded contract a Potentially Time and
Price-Impacted Material item experiences an increase or decrease in its Baseline Price, either party may notify the other in writing within thirty (30) days from the date the basis for an equitable adjustment to the contract price arises and will provide appropriate documentation substantiating such requested adjustment. An adjustment in the pricing for a Potentially Time and Price-Impacted
Material: (1) will not include any amount for overhead and profit; and (2) will factor in Adjusted
Baseline Price(s).
a. In the event of a decrease in the Baseline Price, the contract price will be equitably adjusted to reflect such decrease, but only for those Potentially Time and Price-Impacted Materials delivered on or after the date on which written notice of the adjustment in Baseline price is given.
b. In the event of an increase in the Baseline Price, the contract price will be equitably adjusted to reflect such increase, but only for those Potentially Time and Price-Impacted Materials delivered on or after the date on which written notice of the adjustment in Baseline price is given.
c. No adjustment will be made for any quantities of Potentially Time and Price-Impacted Materials scheduled for delivery under the terms of the awarded contract prior to the date on which written notice of the adjustment in Baseline Price is given, unless the failure to deliver such quantities before that date is beyond the control of and without the fault of the successful bidder, its subcontractors, and material suppliers.
