However, there is always an upper limit or price cap on an FPIF contract. All accumulated costs exceeding this upper limit are the responsibility of the Seller. There are a number of different variants of the FPIF contract. The seller and the project manager must accept these conditions before the start of the work. (3) Adjustments based on labour or material cost indices. These price adjustments are based on increases or decreases in standards or cost indices of labor or materials expressly stated in the contract. (b) the contract should be awarded only after negotiation of a settlement price that is as fair and reasonable as the circumstances permit. A fixed-price contract with an economic price adjustment may be used if (i) there are serious doubts as to the stability of the market or the working conditions that will exist during a longer period of performance of the contract, and (ii) contingent liabilities that would otherwise be included in the contract price can be identified and covered separately in the contract. Price adjustments based on fixed prices should normally be limited to contingent liabilities at the industry level. Price adjustments based on labour and material costs should be limited to contingencies beyond the contractor`s control. For the use of the economic price adjustment in sealed quotation contracts, see 14.408-4.b) Retroactive realignment of the price within the upper limit after the conclusion of the contract. The indices, valid 42 days before the date of contract shipment ex works, are used for the purpose of adjusting the contract prices.
(b) Temporary and material contracts and hourly employment contracts are not fixed-price contracts. (a) the types of fixed-price contracts provide for a fixed price or, where appropriate, an adjustable price; Fixed-price contracts that provide for an adjustable price may include a maximum price, a target price (including target costs), or both. Unless otherwise specified in the contract, the maximum price or target price may only be adjusted on the basis of contractual clauses that provide for an appropriate adjustment or other modification of the contract price in the circumstances indicated. The principal shall use fixed prices or fixed prices with economic price adjustment agreements for the purchase of commercial goods, in so far as this is provided for in point (b) of 12 207. By using SEIFSA`s price and index pages (PIPS) in a CPA, the buyer can be sure in the contract that market-related increases will be paid to suppliers (as determined by the CPA calculation) to ensure sustainability/improved profitability. Each fuel consumption factor specified for the transportation of bituminous concrete represents the total fuel requirements of the item. If gasoline and diesel engines are used, appropriate adjustments must be made. “The volume is estimated in a sufficient quantity to carry out the project. When the contract is awarded, the award must then be transferred to the successful tenderer. An important aspect of restoring escalations in a contract between two parties is the inclusion of an agreement between both parties on all aspects of a contractual escalation or CPA. The basic logic of a CPA is to adjust the strike price (the price at the beginning of the reporting period) with a market-related change to calculate a new price to ensure a fair result for both parties. The simplest and most common form of fixed-price contracts are orders.
When working with fixed-price contracts, there is a higher risk for the seller. Indeed, in the event of a price increase, the seller is responsible for covering these increased costs and cannot charge the buyer a higher price than the one initially agreed. A fixed-price contract with a planned price realignment may be used in the purchase of volume production or services for which it is possible to negotiate a fair and reasonable fixed price for an initial period, but not for subsequent performance periods. 1. For all calculations made during this contractual period, the initial contract price or the item prices for that contract term (e.B. base year) shall be used and recalculations shall be made for each contract adjustment period referred to in point (d) during that contractual period. (b) Planned recalculation of the price for subsequent service periods at a certain time or at certain times of the service. It is therefore important to indicate the exact index in Table C-3 in order to relate it to the work component of a contract, i.e. Table SEIFSA C-3: All hourly employees. The rate of increase of each component is therefore directly related to the increase in the index to which it is linked. The formula method also defines the period during which escalation applies to each component. (b) The procuring entity may use a fixed-price procurement with an economic adjustment of prices in conjunction with a premium (see 16.404) and performance or delivery incentives (see 16.402-2 and 16.402-3) if the surcharge or incentive is based solely on factors other than cost.
The type of contract remains fixed price with economic adjustment of prices when used with these incentives. The contract price adjustment is determined by multiplying the contract price adjustment factor by the total tonn of the hot asphalt in a single day and the unit contract price for “Superpave, FAA” or “RAP Superpave FAA”. When concluding a fixed-price contract for a longer contractual term, the supplier should include an emergency provision for inflation in the price or offer. .
