At the end of the initial <br />contract term and each contract anniversary date thereafter for the duration of the contract, prices <br />may, upon Contractor or City request, be increased or decreased. Any price increases will be tied <br />to the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and approved at the discretion of the City. If accepted, the price <br />increase will remain firm throughout the subsequent one-year period. In the event prices are <br />reduced, the reduced price shall apply to all subsequent purchases following the date of the price <br />decrease through to the following contract anniversary date. The Contractor shall submit to the <br />City a revised unit price schedule and supporting CPI information for any requested changes. <br /> <br />SECTION VIII. CONTRACT AWARD <br /> <br />The PWS will recommend to the awarding authority the award of a contract to the lowest responsive <br />and responsible Bidder. Award of contract occurs when a Purchase Order is issued or other evidence <br />of acceptance by the City is provided to the Bidder. A Recommendation of Award does not constitute <br />award of contract. <br /> <br />Contract documents will consist of the General Services Agreement, this NIB and all related <br />attachments, the Successful Bidder’s written bid, and a Purchase Order issued by the City’s Finance <br />Department. <br /> <br />SECTION IX.
