When both indices are to be <br />used to determine an adjustment to the Hauling and Processing <br />Charges, then the adjustment formula shall be as follows: the CPI <br />shall be weighted at ninety (90%) percent and the PPI shall be <br />weighted at ten (10%) percent. <br /> <br />(2) CURBSIDE SERVICE: The Hauling Charges and Processing <br />Charges for curbside service shall be adjusted annually, if at all, <br />beginning on July 1, 1997. At such time the Hauling and Processing <br />Charges shall only be adjusted if the CPI increase exceeds four <br />(4%) percent. Should the CPI increase fall between four (4%) and <br />seven (7%) percent, then the CONTRACTOR shall be permitted to <br />increase its rates upwards to the extent that such increase does <br />not include the first four (4%) percent, Le., should the CPI <br />increase be four and one half (4 1/2%) percent, then CONTRACTOR <br />shall be permitted to increase it's rates upwards by one-half <br />(1/2%) percent and should the CPI increase be five (5%) percent, <br />CONTRACTOR shall be permitted to increase its rates upwards by one <br />(1%) percent. Should the CPI increase be determined to be seven <br />(7%) percent or above, the CONTRACTOR shall be permitted to adjust <br />its rates upward a maximum of three (3%) percent. Said limitations <br />on upward adjustments shall only be in effect until June 30, 2001. <br />From July 1, 2001 until the termination of this Agreement, the <br />Hauling Charge and Processing Charge for curbside service shall be <br />adjusted at seventy five (75%) percent of the CPI with a seven (7%) <br />percent maximum adjustment per year. <br /> <br />(3) BIN SERVICE.

Adjustments to the Hauling and Processing <br />Charges for Bin Service, Roll-Off Service and Special Bin Services <br />shall be calculated at seventy five (75%) percent of the combined <br />CPI and PPI adjustment with a seven (7%) percent maximum adjustment <br />per year. <br /> <br />(b) GATE FEES: Should any increase or decrease in the Gate <br />Fees charged by a Disposal Site occur during the term of this <br />Agreement, CONTRACTOR shall be permitted to pass through to both <br />its Bin service Customers and its Roll-Off Service Customers and <br />CITY shall pass through to its curbside service users one hundred <br /> <br />23 <br />
