Section M's Factor 3: Price reads "FACTOR 3:

PRICE

The Monthly Use Charge (MUCG) price offered for Contract Line Item Numbers (CLINs) 0001- 0004 will be multiplied by 48 months to determine

The total of CLINs 0001-0004 will be evaluated for the base period and the total of CLINs 0005- 0009 will be evaluated for the option period.
