Good morning, Ms. Calderon.
Section 1.61 is a "most -favored nations" clause . Section 2.5 addresses adjustment of prices based on
changes in market conditions. While the two deal with financial matters, our thought was that they were
separate issues. If the City is telling us that Section 1.61 is deleted and not applicable, then we have no issue
with Section 2.5.
Thanks,
Jason Neal

Good morning Mr. Neal,
Per the attached, you stated that Waste Management Inc. of Florida, has taken an exception to
Section 1.61 but please be advise that Section 2.5 of the Special Conditions supersedes
Section 1.61. Please advise if you have any issues with Section 2.5? Please see below:
2.5 COST ADJUSTMENTS
Prices quoted shall be firm for the initial contract term (two years). Thereafter, any extensions
which may be approved by the City shall be subject to the following: Costs for any extension
terms shall be subject to an adjustment only if increases or decreases occur in the industry.
1
Such adjustment shall be based on the latest yearly percentage increase in the All Urban
Consumers Price Index (CPI-U) as published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S.
Department of Labor, and shall not exceed five percent (5%).
The yearly increase or decrease in the CPI shall be that latest Index published and available for
the calendar year ending 12/31, prior to the end of the contract year then in effect, as compared
to the index for the comparable month one year prior.
Any requested adjustment shall be fully documented and submitted to the City at least ninety
(90) days prior to the contract anniversary date. Any approved cost adjustments shall become
effective on the beginning date of the approved contract extension.
The City may, after examination, refuse to accept the adjusted costs if they are not properly
documented, or considered to be excessive, or if decreases are considered to be insufficient. In
the event the City does not wish to accept the adjusted costs and the matter cannot be resolved
to the satisfaction of the City, the Contract will be considered cancelled on the scheduled
expiration date.
Respectfully,
