adjusted Consumer Price Index For All Urban Consumers - Commodities Less Food (seasonally adjusted)

prior to the expiration of the first period of the contract. This average is then compared with the average 

index for the 12-month period ending 3 months prior to the beginning of the contract, called the base index. 

The percentage increase or decrease by comparing these two indexes shall be applied to the contractor's 

invoices for orders placed during the price adjustment period.

(2) The Government will notify the contractor in writing of the percentage increase or decrease to be applied to 

any invoices to be submitted for orders subject to price adjustment in accordance with this clause. Such 

percentage will be determined from the published index as set forth above. The contractor shall apply the 

percentage increase or decrease against the total price of the invoice less reimbursable postage or 

transportation costs. Any applicable discounts will be calculated on the basis of the invoice price as

adjusted.

If the Government exercises an option, the extended contract shall be considered to include this economic price 

adjustment clause.

The contractor shall create or alter any necessary trapping, set proper screen angles and screen frequency, and define file 

output selection for the imaging device being utilized. Furnished files must be imaged as necessary to meet the assigned 

quality level.

COMPOSITION: Most print orders will require typesetting and layout (composition) of approx. 10 lines of type, and, in 

most instances, sizing and compositing agency logo. Infrequently, orders may require up to 30 lines of type such as 

required for Business Reply Mail format. 

Copy would include type, rules and business reply mail format with FIM bars and bar codes. Bar codes usually must 

reproduce from furnished camera copy unless the contractor has the software to generate barcodes acceptable to the Post 

Office. Composition may be photo-composition or laser imaging using the same or suitable similar typefaces and sizes to 

the copy furnished or as specified on order. The Government reserves the right to be the final judge of the acceptability of

“suitable similar” typefaces.

Many orders will also require sizing and stripping in furnished logos or stripping in furnished logos, bar codes and FIM 

(facing identification marks). Orders with furnished camera copy for these items cannot be faxed to contractor.

If contractor typesets copy and no proof has been ordered by the Government, the contractor is responsible for the 

correctness of typeset copy.

For the purposes of this contract, photocomposition includes all typesetting produced by photographically creating the 

characters on sensitized paper or film, or laser imaging on plain paper. A minimum of 1,200 dpi image resolution is 

required. 

PROOFS: PDF proofs will be required for most orders. e-mailed PDF proofs may occasionally be required. Proofs must 

have all elements in position; sizes and margins must be indicated. To ensure legibility, the contractor must use the finest 

setting on the facsimile machine. No separate charges will be allowed for proofs. 

The contractor will be responsible for performing all necessary proofreading to insure that the proofs are in conformity 

with the copy submitted. 

Proof will not be used for color match.

If any contractor's errors are serious enough in the opinion of the GPO to require revised proofs, the revised proofs are to 

be provided at no expense to the Government. No extra time can be allowed for this reproofing; such operations must be 

accomplished within the original production schedule allotted in the specifications.

The contractor must not print prior to receipt of an “OK to print.”
