(preflight) of the furnished media and publishing files to assure accurate output of the required

imaging must be reported to the Agency and Gina Conaway at 312-353-3916 x 5 in sufficient time to

screen angles and screen frequency, and define file output selection for the imaging device being utilized.

imaged face and back, trimmed and folded to the finished size/format of the product, and must include the
specified binding, with the exception of one-off proofs for perfect-bound books which can be furnished to
the agency bound or unbound at contractor’s option. One-off proofs will be used for color match on press
for the production run.

If any contractor errors in one-off proofs are serious enough in the opinion of GPO to require revised one-
off proofs, the revised one-off proofs are to be provided at no expense to the Government. No additional
time in the schedule will be allowed.

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

evidence of technical, production, managerial, financial, and similar abilities to perform, prior to the
award of a contract.

OPTION TO EXTEND THE CONTRACT TERM: The Government has the option to extend the term
of this contract for a period of 12 months by written notice to the contractor not later than 30 days before
the contract expires. If the Government exercises this option, the extended contract shall be considered to
include this clause, except, the total duration of the contract may not exceed 5 years as a result of, and
including, any extension(s) added under this clause. Further extension may be negotiated under the
“Extension of Contract Term” clause. See also “Economic Price Adjustment” for periodic pricing
revision.

EXTENSION OF CONTRACT TERM: At the request of the Government, the term of any contract
resulting from this solicitation may be extended for such period of time as may be mutually agreeable to
the GPO and the contractor.

ECONOMIC PRICE ADJUSTMENT: The pricing under this contract shall be adjusted in accordance
with this clause, provided that in no event will any pricing adjustment be made that would exceed the
maximum permissible under any law in effect at the time of the adjustment. There will be no adjustment
for orders placed during the first period specified below. Pricing will thereafter be eligible for adjustment
during the second and any succeeding performance period(s). For each performance period after the first,
a percentage figure will be calculated as described below and that figure will be the economic price
adjustment for that entire next period. Pricing adjustments under this clause are not applicable to
reimbursable postage or transportation costs, or to paper, if paper prices are subject to adjustment by
separate clause elsewhere in this contract.

For the purpose of this clause, performance under this contract will be divided into successive periods.
The first period will extend from December 1, 2017 through November 30, 2018, and the second and any
succeeding period(s) will extend for 12 months from the end of the last preceding period, except that the
length of the final period may vary. The first day of the second and any succeeding period(s) will be the
effective date of the economic price adjustment for that period.

Pricing adjustments in accordance with this clause will be based on changes in the seasonally adjusted
“Consumer Price Index For All Urban Consumers - Commodities Less Food” (Index) published monthly
in the CPI Detailed Report by the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics.

The economic price adjustment will be the percentage difference between Index averages as specified in
this paragraph. An index called the variable index will be calculated by averaging the monthly Indexes
from the 12-month interval ending three (3) months prior to the beginning of the period being considered
for adjustment. This average is then compared to the average of the monthly Indexes for the 12-month
interval ending August 30, 2017, called the base index. The percentage change (plus or minus) of the
variable index from the base index will be the economic price adjustment for the period being considered
for adjustment.

The Government will notify the contractor by contract modification specifying the percentage increase or
decrease to be applied to invoices for orders placed during the period indicated. The contractor shall
apply the percentage increase or decrease against the total price of the invoice less reimbursable postage
or transportation costs and separately adjusted paper prices. Payment discounts shall be applied after the
invoice price is adjusted.

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