The adjustment factor used to create price adjustment up or down for each unit price proposed is as follows: Previous 12 month CPI-U South Urban =CPI Adjustment Current year CPI-U South Urban Proposed contract language: Use the Bureau of Labor Statistics webb site him://www.bis.i!Oy/cRi/home.htm 1.
