Upon the second anniversary of the Commencement Date and upon each anniversary
of the Commencement Date .thereafter, the Contract Amount shall be adjusted in
proportion to changes in the Consumer Price Index, subject to the 2.5% maximum
adjustment increase set forth below. Such adjustment shall be made by multiplying the
original Contract Amount by a fraction, the numerator of which is the value of the
Consumer Price Index for the calendar month three (3) months preceding the calendar
month for which such adjustment is to be made and the denominator of which is the
value of the Consumer Price Index for the same calendar month immediately prior to
Commencement Date. For example, if the adjustment is to occur effective October 1,
2011, the index to be used for the numerator is the index for the month of July 2011 and

The City of Newport Beach intends to award a contract based on a fixed annual contract

value of the Consumer Price Index for the calendar month three (3) months preceding the
calendar month for which such adjustment is to be made, and the denominator of which
is the value of the Consumer Price Index for the same calendar month one (1) year prior.

the numerator is the index for the month of March 2008, and the index to be used for the
denominator is March 2007. The "Consumer Price Index" to be used in such calculation

Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics (1982 84 = 100). If both an official index and one or
more unofficial indices are published, the official index shall be used. If said Consumer
Price Index is no longer published at the adjustment date, it shall be constructed by

for any year where an adjustment is made in proportion to changes in the Consumer Price
Index, shall not exceed 4.0% of the Contract Amount in effect immediately preceding
such adjustment.
