Pricing Review Information
For the term of this agreement, the unit price of the product shall be a fixed price
adjusted quarterly. The price adjustment dates are April 11t, July 11t, October 11t- and
January 11t of each calendar year (each being an "Adjustment Date"). A price
adjustment calculation will be established on or about March 15th, June 15th,
September 15th, and December 15th of each calendar year (each being an
"Adjustment Calculation Date") for the new pricing term, and such adjustment amount
shall be calculated by the Contractor as follows:
1 . On the Adjustment Calculation Date, Contractor shall record the prices as
shown on the Argus Chlor-Alkali and Derivatives USGC (United States Gulf Coast)
contract price ("Weekly Price") for the last Friday of each month in the
preceding quarter (the last Friday for the last 3 months that such data is
available). A copy of the applicable pricing page from each report will be
provided by the contractor upon request of the Contract Administrator.
2. On the Adjustment Calculation Date, Contractor shall calculate the price per
liquid ton for the next pricing term of the Agreement by performing the following
calculation:
Step l : On the Adjustment Calculation Date, the Weekly Price low
and high number for the last Friday of the preceding
quarter shall be added together and divided by six (in
order to average the index costs) to arrive at the new dry
material averaged index price.
Step 2: The new dry material averaged index price will next have
the previous dry material averaged index price subtracted
from it in order to determine the change in cost of the dry
material.
Step 3: The cost change in the dry material will then be multiplied
by 50% to reach the adjustment to the unit price per liquid
caustic price per ton for the next pricing term.
3. The unit price will decrease or increase according to the cost change. Notice
of a change in the unit price shall be provided by the Contractor. For illustrative
purposes, a pricing example is included, with "T" meaning a ton, as follows:
February 2023:dry material averaged index price is $1,032/T
March 1 , 2023:liquid caustic price delivered to City is $520/T
June 15, 2023: dry material averaged index price is $1,082/T
$1,032/T - $1,082/T = $50/T change in averaged index price for dry
material
$50/T change x 50% (percentage dry material) _ $25/T product price
adjustment to be implemented
The new unit price, effective July 1 , 2023, is the March 1 It price of$520/T
= product price adjustment of $25/T = new unit price of $545/T.
