The University reserves the unilateral right to renew the contract for up to three (3) additional, separately executable, 12 months periods at the same basis of pricing, terms and conditions.

The following example illustrates the computation of percentage change: PPI for current period: 150.252 Less PPI for previous period: 147.362 Equals index point change: 2.89 Divided by previous period CPI: 147.362 Equals: .0196 Results multiplied by 100: .0196 x 100 Equals Percentage change: 1.96%
