Section 30-2242. ECONOMIC PRICE ADJUSTMENT
-
2242.1If a solicitation does not contain an economic price adjustment clause, but a bidder proposes an adjustment clause with a ceiling that the price will not exceed, the bid shall be evaluated on the basis of the maximum possible economic price adjustment of the quoted base price.
2242.2If a bid received with an unsolicited economic price adjustment clause is eligible for award, the contracting officer shall request the bidder to agree to the inclusion in the award of an economic price adjustment clause, approved by the Director, that is subject to the same ceiling. If the bidder will not agree to an approved clause, the award may be made on the basis of the bid as originally submitted.
2242.3A bid that contains an economic price adjustment with no ceiling shall be rejected unless a clear basis for evaluation exists.
2242.4If an IFB contains an economic price adjustment clause and no bidder takes exception to the provisions, bids shall be evaluated on the basis of the quoted prices without the addition of the allowable economic price adjustment.
2242.5If a bidder increases the maximum percentage of economic price adjustment stipulated in the IFB or limits the downward economic price adjustment provisions of the IFB, the bid shall be rejected as nonresponsive.
2242.6If a bid indicates deletion of the economic price adjustment clause, the bid shall be rejected as nonresponsive.
2242.7If a bidder decreases the maximum percentage of economic price adjustment stipulated in the IFB, the bid shall be evaluated at the base price on an equal basis with bids that do not reduce the stipulated ceiling. However, after evaluation, if the bidder offering the lower ceiling is in a position to receive the award, the award shall reflect the lower ceiling.
