Th
8、ere will be no adjustments to the contract price other than necessary changes to the work itself. Therefore, the contractor is encouraged to consider the length of time to perform the contract and the estimated amount of locally bought materials expected to be used. This, in conjunction with histori
9、cal exchange rate data obtainable, for example, from the Central Bank of Iceland, should be utilized when constructing a bid to compensate for any perceived future currency fluctuations during the term of the contract.1.2 PRICE ESCALATIONa. The Contractor warrants that the price set forth in the con
10、tract does not include allowance for contingency to cover increased costs of performance resulting from increase in Contractors rates DOCUMENT 00 73 02 Page 2Provided by IHSNot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-of pay set forth in the “Wage Rate Schedule“
11、 included in the contract specifications. The Contractor shall submit to the Contracting Officer within 30 days after receipt of a notice to proceed a schedule of proposed labor distribution for the project, listing trade categories, type, and wage category level. The submission of the labor distrib
12、ution schedule is mandatory to effect equitable adjustments if wage increases occur during the completion time specified for the project.b. If at any time during the time set forth for completion of the work in the contract documents there is an increase or decrease in the rates of pay as set forth
13、in the “Wage Rate Schedule,“ the Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer of the changes within 60 days of such increase or decrease or within such further period as may be approved in writing by the Contracting Officer; but in any event no later than final payment under the contract.

17、decreases results in an adjustment allowable under subparagraph d. The equitable adjustment, and the effective date thereof, will be set forth in a modification to the contract. Such modification will also revise the rates of pay as set forth in the “Wage Rate Schedule“ to reflect the increase or de
18、crease therein. Failure of the parties to agree to an adjustment under this clause shall be deemed to be a dispute concerning a question of fact within the meaning of the General Conditions Clause entitled “Disputes.“ Pending agreement on, or determination of, any such adjustment and its effective d
19、ate, the Contractor shall continue performance.d. Notwithstanding other provisions of this clause, price adjustments under this clause shall be subject to the following limitations:There shall be no adjustment other than for increases or decreases in the rates of pay as set forth in the “Wage Rate S

26、cept from the Contracting Officer foreign currencies to meet the requirements when and as needed; and that the exchange rates at which such foreign currencies are offered do not result in added cost to the Contractor.

29、sement to the Contractors subcontractors for their payments of such taxes. The contract shall be modified in writing accordingly. The Contractor agrees that immediately upon notification by the Icelandic Government that the Contractor or any of the Contractors subcontractors in connection with the p

Separate
41、calculations are required for work under the basic contract and each modification or change order. The final price of the invoice inclusive of variation will be the summation of these separate calculations.P = 0.1Po + 0.9Po (B/Bo)In whichDOCUMENT 00 73 02 Page 5Provided by IHSNot for ResaleNo reprod
