Ninety-day Baselines a. The Postal Service and the supplier agree that during the first ninety days after the start of contract operations or subsequent time as mutually agreed, they will jointly analyze the operations to determine baselines for work hours, equipment, and productivity (work hours per mail volume). b. If the ninety-day baselines indicate a higher productivity, or a lower usage of work hours or equipment than those upon which the supplier based its proposal, then: i. the initial contract award price will not be reduced; however, ii. the 90-day baselines will serve as benchmarks for determining the amount of future price increases to which the supplier is entitled, as set forth in paragraph c. c. In the event that the Postal Service increases mail volumes in excess of the baselines set forth in paragraph a. of clause G.13 of the contract, or makes a change to the contract which increases the supplier's costs, the supplier will be entitled to a price adjustment only for the costs that are in excess of the work hours or equipment costs upon which it based its proposal ("the proposal figures") or established baselines, whichever is the higher base. The supplier will not be entitled to a price increase attributable to the increase in work hours or equipment costs from the ninety-day baselines, up to the proposal figures. d. If the ninety-day baselines indicate a lower productivity, or a higher usage of work hours or equipment than those upon which the supplier based its proposal, then no upward price adjustment will be made that would have the effect of correcting an error in the original proposal. The baselines established in G.12.a. will only be used to reflect changed conditions occurring after they are established. Except as provided herein, all terms and conditions of the contract described in Part I remain unchanged and in full force and effect. The parties hereunder have caused this amendment to be executed, effective the date set forth in Part III. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Contractor U.S. Postal Service - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Signature of person authorized to sign and date Signature of contracting officer and date /s/ Brian Bauer 10/4/01 /s/ Cheryl R.
