or 'sOI"' <br />Prior to completion of each exercised contract term, the City may consider an adjustment to the <br />price based on changes in the following pricing index: Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage <br />Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI -W): Miami — Fort Lauderdale, FL, and shall not exceed five <br />percent (5%). It is the Contractor's responsibility to request any pricing adjustment under this <br />provision. For any adjustment to commence on the first day of any exercised option period, the <br />vendor's request for adjustment should be submitted 60 days prior to expiration of the then <br />current contract term. The vendor adjustment request should not be in excess of the relevant <br />pricing index change. If adjustment request is not received from the vendor, the City will <br />assume the vendor has agreed that the optional term may be exercised without pricing <br />adjustment. Any adjustment request received after the commencement of a new option period <br />may not be considered. <br />The City reserves the right to negotiate lower pricing for the additional term(s) based on market <br />research information or other factors that influence price. The City reserves the right to apply <br />any reduction in pricing for the additional term(s) based on the downward movement of the <br />applicable index. <br />The City reserves the right to reject any price adjustments submitted by the vendor and/or to <br />not exercise any otherwise available option period based on such price adjustments. <br />Continuation of the contract beyond the initial period, and any option subsequently exercised, is <br />a City prerogative, and not a right of the vendor. This prerogative will be exercised only when <br />such continuation is clearly in the best interest of the City. <br />Should the vendor decline the City's right to exercise the option period, the City may consider <br />the vendor in default which may affect the vendor's eligibility for future contracts. <br />2.9 METHOD OF AWARD <br />Award of this contract will be made to the lowest responsive, responsible vendor. If a vendor <br />fails to submit an offer for all items within the group, its offer for that specific group will be <br />rejected. The City reserves the right to award to multiple bidders. Award to multiple vendors <br />may be considered for the convenience of the City and does not exempt the primary vendor <br />from fulfilling its contractual obligations. Failure to perform as noted may result in the vendor <br />being deemed in breach of contract. The City may terminate the contract for default. The <br />geographical location of the proposers facility will be taken into consideration during the <br />evaluation process. <br />2.10 PRICE <br />If the vendor is awarded a contract under this solicitation, the prices proposed by the vendor <br />shall remain fixed and firm during the term of contract. <br />City of Sunny Isles Beach I Invitation to Bid No. 22-08-01 <br />
