OR LAST PRICE INCREASE WAS BASED, I.E. INVOICES FOR THE COST OF
MATERIALS, LABOR, DELIVERY, ETC., OR LABOR UNION AGREEMENTS FROM THE

ORIGINAL EVALUATION MODEL WITH THE PRICES FROM THE NEW LIST PRICE.
IF THE CONTRACT HOLDER'S NEW BID PRICE IS HIGHER THAN THE NEXT LOW
BIDDER, PURCHASING DIVISION WILL EVALUATE THE NEXT LOW BID TO
DETERMINE IF IT MEETS SPECIFICATIONS AND IF SO, WILL ASK IF THE NEXT
LOW BIDDER IS WILLING TO HONOR ITS BID PRICES FOR POSSIBLE RE-AWARD.

IF THE NEXT LOW BIDDER AGREES TO HONOR ITS BID PRICE AND WILL HOLD IT
FOR THE FIRM BID PRICE PERIOD FOLLOWING AWARD, PURCHASING DIVISION
WILL APPRISE THE CONTRACT HOLDER OF THE SITUATION AND ASK IF IT WANTS
TO CONTINUE WITH ITS PRICE INCREASE REQUEST OR WITHDRAW ITS PRICE
INCREASE REQUEST. IF THE CONTRACT HOLDER STATES THAT IT WANTS TO
CONTINUE WITH ITS REQUEST FOR A PRICE INCREASE, PURCHASING DIVISION
WILL RECOMMEND CANCELLATION OF THE CONTRACT AND RE-AWARD TO THE NEXT
LOW BIDDER.

AT THE OPTION OF THE STATE, (1) REQUEST MAY BE GRANTED, (2) THE
CONTRACT MAY BE CANCELED AND AWARDED TO THE NEXT LOW BIDDER, (3)
THE CONTRACT MAY BE CANCELED AND THE COMMODITY/SERVICE BE READVERTISED
FOR AWARD, OR (4) CONTINUE THE CONTRACT WITHOUT CHANGE.
THE PURCHASING DIVISION WILL ACCEPT OR REJECT ALL SUCH WRITTEN
REQUESTS WITHIN FORTY-FIVE (45) WORKING DAYS OF THE DATE OF RECEIPT
OF COMPLETE AND VERIFIED DOCUMENTATION.

APPROVAL OF PRICE INCREASES

IF APPROVED, THE PURCHASING DIVISION WILL MODIFY THE CONTRACT TO
REFLECT THE APPROVED PRICE INCREASE, PRINT AND MAIL THE REVISED
CONTRACT. THE CONTRACT HOLDER SHALL HONOR ALL PURCHASE ORDERS

THE FIRST OF THE FOLLOWING MONTH. IF THE CONTRACT IS TO BE CANCELED,
