PRICE ADJUSTMENTS
4.4.1
Any requests for reasonable price adjustments must be submitted 60 calendar
days prior to the contract expiration anniversary date. Requests for adjustment in
cost of labor and/or materials must be supported by appropriate documentation.

provide an updated version of the contract. The new change shall not be in effect
until the date stipulated on the updated version of the contract.

increase is subsequently reduced or eliminated, the vendor shall notify the County
of the decrease and shall apply it accordingly for remaining term of the contract. If
the County finds over payment of a project due to tariff reduction that was not due,

the County agrees to remit any overpayments back to the County for
miscalculations on increases due to tariffs included in a bid price.
