For example, if the CPI is measured as follows: October 2009 = 205, October 2010 = 204, October 2011 = 201, October 2012 = 208, then there would be no adjustment in July 2011, or July 2012, and an adjustment equal to the change from 205 to 208 would be implemented on July 1, 2013. Adjustments pursuant to this Section 4.2(F) shall not require compliance with the provisions of Section 4.2(1). (G) Adjustment Resulting from Increased Fees. In addition to the other adjustments specified herein, the Contract Rate shall be adjusted to reflect the imposition of new fees or increase in existing fees relating to the disposal of Controllable Waste imposed by state, federal or other agencies (i.e., the State's Integrated Waste Management fee, which is currently $1.40 per ton). The adjustment shall be equal to the amount of any new or increased fee, and the adjustment shall take effect so as to coincide with the imposition of the new or increased fee. The County shall provide notice of any increase pursuant to this Section 4.2(G) as soon as practicable after becoming aware of the imposition of any fees described above. Adjustments pursuant to this Section 4.2(G) shall not require compliance with the provisions of Section 4.2(I). (H) Calculation of Cumulative Inflation Rate. For purposes of Section 4.2(A)(iv) for adjustments prior to July 1, 2011, the inflation shall be calculated as the change in the CPI between July of the year of calculation and July 1, 2008. Inflation shall be deemed to exceed the levels set forth below if the ratio between the CPl for July for the year of calculation (calculated in accordance with the formula below) and July 2008 exceeds the ratio corresponding to such year of calculation on the table below. The ratio shall be calculated in accordance with the following formula: (July CPI of calculation year /CPI for July 2008) Year of Calculation Ratio Jul 1, 2008 1.0000 Jul 1, 2009 1.0356 Jul 1, 2010 1.0723 In the event the CPI is no longer published during the term of this Agreement, such other index identified by the Bureau of Labor Statistics or otherwise generally accepted as a replacement for CPI shall be used for purposes of this Agreement. In the event of an adjustment to the Contract Rate pursuant to this section 4.2(H), such adjustment shall be applied to the Contract Rate effective until June 30, 2010, and the Contract Rate effective July 1, 2010. Adjustments pursuant to this Section 4.2(H) shall not require compliance with the provisions of Section 4.2(I). (1) Procedure for Rate Adjustments. In the event the County determines that it is entitled to an adjustment of the Contract Rate pursuant to Section 4.2(A) (other than 4.2(A)(iv)) or Section 4.2(B), it shall utilize the procedures described in this Section 4.2(I).
