H-GAC will respond with written <br />approval. <br /> <br />ARTICLE 23: CONTRACT PRICE ADJUSTMENTS <br /> <br />Price Decreases <br />If Contractor’s Direct Cost decreases at any time during the full term of this award, Contractor must immediately <br />pass the decrease on to H-GAC and lower its prices by the amount of the decrease in Direct Cost. (Direct Cost <br />means Contractor’s cost from the manufacturer of any item or if Contractor is the manufacturer, the cost of raw <br />materials required to manufacture the item, plus costs of transportation from manufacturer to Contractor and <br />Contractor to H-GAC. Contractor must notify H-GAC of price decreases in the same way as for price increases <br />set out below. The price decrease shall become effective upon H-GAC’s receipt of Contractor’s notice. If <br />Contractor routinely offers discounted contract pricing, H-GAC may request Contractor accept amended contract <br />pricing equivalent to the routinely discounted pricing <br /> <br />Price Increases <br />Contractors may request a price increase for items priced as Base Bid items and Published Options after twelve <br />(12) months from the bid opening date of the bid received by H-GAC. The amount of any increase will not exceed <br />actual documented increase in Contractor’s Direct Cost and will not exceed 10% of the previous bid price. <br />Considerations on the percentage limit will be given if the price increase is the result of increased tariff charges, <br />or other economic factors. <br /> <br />Price Changes <br />Any permanent increase or decrease in offered pricing for a base contract item or published option is considered a <br />price change. Temporary increases in pricing by whatever name (e.g. ‘surcharge’, ‘adjustment’, ‘equalization <br />charge’, ‘compliance charge’, ‘recovery charge’, etc.), are also considered to be price changes. For published <br />catalogs and price sheets as part of an H-GAC contract, requests to amend the contract to reflect any new <br />published catalog or price sheet must be submitted whenever the manufacturer publishes a new document. The <br />request must include the new catalog or price sheet. <br /> <br />All Products shall, at time of sale, be equipped as required under any then current applicable local, state, and <br />federal government requirements. If, during the course of any contract, changes are made to any government <br />requirements which cause a manufacturer's costs of production to increase, Contractor may increase pricing to the <br />extent of Contractor’s actual cost increase. The increase must be substantiated with support documentation <br />acceptable to H-GAC prior to taking effect. Modifications to a Product required to comply with such requirements <br />which become effective after the date of any sale are the responsibility of the Customer. <br /> <br />Requesting Price Increase/Required Documentation <br />Contractor must submit a written notification at least thirty (30) calendar days prior to the requested effective date <br />of the change, setting the amount of the increase, along with an itemized list of any increased prices, showing the <br />Contractor’s current price, revised price, the actual dollar difference and the percentage of the price increase by <br />line item. Price change requests must include H-GAC Forms D Offered Item Pricing and E Options Pricing, or the <br />documentation used to submit pricing in the original Response and be supported with substantive documentation <br />(e.g. manufacturer's price increase notices, copies of invoices from suppliers, etc.) clearly showing that <br />Contractor's actual costs have increased per the applicable line-item bid. The Producer Price Index (PPI) may be <br />used as partial justification, subject to approval by H-GAC, but no price increase based solely on an increase in <br />the PPI will be allowed. This documentation should be submitted in Excel format to facilitate analysis and <br />updating of the website. The letter and documentation must be sent to the Bids and Specifications manager, <br />William Burton, at William.Burton@h-gac.com <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />   <br />  <br />REV: 12-14-23 MI <br />ATTY/AGR.2023.310/Motorola (Radios) (Page 39 of 62)
