Any adjustment request received after the commencement of a new option period may not be considered. The City reserves the right to negotiate lower pricing for the additional term(s) based on market research information or other factors that influence price. The City reserves the right to apply any reduction in pricing for the additional term(s) based on the downward movement of the applicable index. The City reserves the right to reject any price adjustments submitted by the Bidder and/or to not exercise any otherwise available option period based on the proposed price adjustments. Any continuation of the contract beyond the initial period, and any option subsequently exercised shall be at the sole discretion of the City, and not a right of the Bidder. Renewals shall be exercised only when such continuation is clearly in the best interest of the City. Should the Bidder decline the City’s right to exercise the option period, the City may consider the Bidder in default, which may affect the Bidder’s eligibility for future contracts.
