11. Price Adjustment

11.1 Adjustments due to market price fluctuations

Unless otherwise agreed in the special contract terms, if the market price fluctuates beyond the range agreed upon by the parties to the contract, the contract price shall be adjusted. The parties to the contract may agree in the special contract terms to adjust the contract price in one of the following ways:

The first method: using price index to make price adjustments.

( 1 ) Price adjustment formula

When the contract price is affected by price fluctuations of labor, materials and equipment, the difference shall be calculated and the contract price shall be adjusted according to the following formula based on the data agreed in the special contract terms:

In the formula: Δ P – the price difference to be adjusted;

——The amount of the completed works that the contractor should receive in the agreed payment certificate. This amount shall not include price adjustments, withholding and payment of quality deposits, payment and rebate of advance payments. Agreed changes and other amounts that have been priced at current prices shall also not be included;

A—— fixed value weight (i.e. the weight of the non-adjusted part);

——The variable weight of each adjustable factor (i.e. the weight of the adjustable part), which is the proportion of each adjustable factor in the signed contract price;

- the current price index of each Adjustable Factor means the price index of each Adjustable Factor for the period 42 days preceding the last day of the relevant period of the agreed Payment Certificate ;

——The basic price index of each adjustable factor refers to the price index of each adjustable factor on the base date.

The adjustable factors, fixed and variable weights in the above price adjustment formula, as well as the basic price index and its source are stipulated in the price index and weight table in the appendix of the bid letter. For contracts not concluded through bidding, the parties to the contract shall stipulate in the special contract terms. The price index shall firstly adopt the price index published by the engineering cost management agency. If there is no such price index, the price published by the engineering cost management agency may be used instead.

( 2 ) Provisional determination of adjustment difference

If there is no current price index when calculating the adjustment difference, the parties to the contract agree to use the previous price index for calculation. If the actual price index is adjusted, the parties to the contract shall make corresponding adjustments.

( 3 ) Weight adjustment

If the weight agreed in the contract becomes unreasonable due to changes, it shall be implemented in accordance with Clause 4.4 [Agreed or Determined].

( 4 ) Price adjustment after construction delay due to the contractor's reasons

If the project is not completed on time due to the contractor's reasons, for the project that continues to be constructed after the completion date agreed in the contract, the lower of the two price indices of the planned completion date and the actual completion date should be used as the current price index when using the price adjustment formula.

The second method: using construction cost information to make price adjustments.

During the performance of the contract, if the contract price is affected by fluctuations in the prices of labor, materials, engineering equipment and machinery hours, the labor and machinery usage fees shall be adjusted in accordance with the labor and machinery usage fee coefficients issued by the national or provincial, autonomous region, or municipal construction administrative departments, industry construction management departments or their authorized engineering cost management agencies; the unit price and purchase quantity of materials that need to be adjusted shall be approved by the employer, and the employer shall confirm the unit price and quantity of the materials that need to be adjusted as the basis for adjusting the contract price.

( 1 ) If the labor unit price changes and complies with the labor cost adjustment regulations issued by the provincial or industry construction authorities, the parties to the contract shall adjust the contract price in accordance with the labor cost and other documents issued by the provincial or industry construction authorities or their authorized engineering cost management agencies, except where the contractor's quotation for labor costs or labor unit price is higher than the published price.

( 2 ) The price adjustment for changes in the prices of materials and engineering equipment shall be based on the benchmark prices provided by the employer and shall be implemented in accordance with the following risk range regulations :

① If the contractor states in the priced bill of quantities or budget that the unit price of materials is lower than the benchmark price: unless otherwise agreed in the special contract terms, if the increase in the unit price of materials during the contract period exceeds 5% based on the benchmark price, or if the decrease in the unit price of materials exceeds 5% based on the unit price of materials stated in the priced bill of quantities or budget , the excess amount shall be adjusted accordingly.

② If the contractor states in the priced bill of quantities or budget that the unit price of materials is higher than the benchmark price: unless otherwise agreed in the special contract terms, if the decrease in the unit price of materials during the contract performance period exceeds 5% based on the benchmark price, or if the increase in the unit price of materials exceeds 5% based on the unit price of materials stated in the priced bill of quantities or budget , the excess amount shall be adjusted accordingly.

③ If the contractor states in the priced bill of quantities or budget that the unit price of materials is equal to the benchmark price: unless otherwise agreed in the special contract terms, if the increase or decrease in the unit price of materials during the contract performance exceeds ±5% based on the benchmark price , the excess amount shall be adjusted accordingly.

④ The contractor shall report the purchase quantity and new unit price of materials to the employer for verification before purchasing materials. When the employer confirms the materials to be used for the project, the employer shall confirm the quantity and unit price of the purchased materials. If the employer does not respond within 5 days after receiving the confirmation materials submitted by the contractor, it shall be deemed as approval and shall serve as the basis for adjusting the contract price. If the contractor purchases materials on its own without prior verification by the employer, the employer has the right not to adjust the contract price. The contract price may be adjusted with the employer's consent.

The aforementioned benchmark price refers to the price of materials and engineering equipment given by the employer in the bidding documents or special contract terms. In principle, this price should be compiled in accordance with the information price published by the provincial or industry construction authorities or their authorized engineering cost management agencies.

( 3 ) When the unit price of construction machinery or the usage fee of construction machinery changes beyond the range prescribed by the provincial or industry construction authorities or their authorized engineering cost management agencies, the contract price shall be adjusted in accordance with the regulations.

The third method : other methods agreed upon in the special contract terms.

11.2 Adjustments due to changes in laws

After the base date, legal changes cause the contractor's expenses incurred in the performance of the contract to increase beyond the provisions of Clause 11.1 (Adjustments due to market price fluctuations), the employer shall bear the increased expenses; if they decrease, they shall be deducted from the contract price. If, after the base date, the construction period is delayed due to legal changes, the construction period shall be extended accordingly.

If the parties to the contract cannot reach an agreement on the adjustment of the contract price and construction period due to changes in the law, the general supervisor engineer shall handle it in accordance with the provisions of Clause 4.4 [Agreed or Determined].

If the construction period is delayed due to the contractor's reasons and there is a legal change during the delay, the increased costs and (or) delayed construction period shall be borne by the contractor.
