Fair Market Rent In the event that it becomes necessary to determine the Fair Market Rent of any Facility for any purpose of this Master Lease, and the parties cannot agree among themselves on such Fair Market Rent within twenty (20) days after the first request made by one of the parties to do so, then either party may notify the other of a person selected to act as appraiser (such person, and each other person selected as provided herein, an “Appraiser”) on its behalf. Within fifteen (15) days after receipt of any such Notice, the other party shall by notice to the first party appoint a second person as Appraiser on its behalf. The Appraisers thus appointed, each of whom must be a member of The Appraisal Institute/American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers (or any successor organization thereto, or, if no such organization exists, a similarly nationally recognized real estate appraisal organization) with at least ten (10) years of experience appraising properties similar to the Facilities, shall, within forty-five (45) days after the date of the notice appointing the first appraiser, proceed to appraise the applicable Facility to determine the Fair Market Rent thereof as of the relevant date; provided, that if one Appraiser shall have been so appointed, or if two Appraisers shall have been so appointed but only one such Appraiser shall have made such determination within fifty (50) days after the making of the initial appointment, then the determination of such Appraiser shall be final and binding upon the parties. If two (2) Appraisers shall have been appointed and shall have made their determinations within the respective requisite periods set forth above and if the difference between the amounts so determined shall not exceed ten percent (10%) of the lesser of such amounts, then the Fair Market Rent shall be an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the sum of the amounts so determined. If the difference between the amounts so determined shall exceed ten percent (10%) of the lesser of such amounts, either party may request the appointment of Experts pursuant to Article XXXIV.
Rental Rate The Lessee shall pay rent to the Lessor for the premises at the following rate: Payment shall be made at the end of each month upon submission of properly executed vouchers.
Rental Rates Schedules for (i) proposed rental rates on heavy construction equipment, and (ii) proposed wage rates of operating engineers. The Design-Builder firm shall certify that the proposal for rental rates and proposal for wage rates comply with the Contract Documents.
Non-Escalation Unless otherwise specified within the RFP documents, the unit prices reflected on the contract shall remain firm with no provision for price increases during the term of the contract.
PRICE ESCALATION/DE-ESCALATION (CPI) The County may allow a price escalation provision within this award. The original contract prices shall be firm for an initial one (1) year period. A price escalation/de-escalation will be considered at one (1) year intervals thereafter, provided the Contractor notifies the County, in writing, of the pending price escalation/de-escalation a minimum of sixty (60) days prior to the effective date. Price adjustments shall be based on the latest version of the Consumers Price Index (CPI-U) for All Urban Consumers, All Items, U.S. City Average, non-seasonal, as published by the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics. This information is available at ▇▇▇.▇▇▇.▇▇▇. Price adjustment shall be calculated by applying the simple percentage model to the CPI data. This method is defined as subtracting the base period index value (at the time of initial award) from the index value at time of calculation (latest version of the CPI published as of the date of request for price adjustment), divided by the base period index value to identify percentage of change, then multiplying the percentage of change by 100 to identify the percentage change. Formula is as follows: Current Index – Base Index / Base Index = % of Change CPI for current period 232.945 Less CPI for base period 229.815 Equals index point change 3.130 Divided by base period CPI 229.815 Equals 0.0136 Result multiplied by 100 0.0136 x 100 Equals percent change 1.4% % of Change x 100 = Percentage Change CPI-U Calculation Example: A price increase may be requested only at each time interval specified above, using the methodology outlined in this section. To request a price increase, Contractor shall submit a letter stating the percentage amount of the requested increase and adjusted price to the Orange County Procurement Division. The letter shall include the complete calculation utilizing the formula above, and a copy of the CPI-U index table used in the calculation. The maximum allowable increase shall not exceed 4%, unless authorized by the Manager, Procurement Division. All price adjustments must be accepted by the Manager, Procurement Division and shall be memorialized by written amendment to this contract. No retroactive contract price adjustments will be allowed. Should the CPI-U for All Urban Consumers, All Items, U.S City Average, as published by the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics decrease during the term of the contract, or any renewals, the Contractor shall notify the Orange County Procurement Division of price decreases in the method outlined above. If approved, the price adjustment shall become effective on the contract renewal date. If the Contractor fails to pass the decrease on to the County, the County reserves the right to place the Contractor in default, cancel the award, and remove the Contractor from the County Vendor List for a period of time deemed suitable by the County. In the event of this occurrence, the County further reserves the right to utilize any options as stated herein.
