The contract includes a Consumer Price Index (CPI-U) price adjustment clause allowing annual adjustments based on the U.S. Department of Labor's CPI-U index, and no substitutions are permitted as Square D brand is required to maintain system compatibility. All bidders must submit offers on all three line items; failure to do so renders a bidder ineligible for award.
