Beginning twelve (12) months after the effective date of this Contract and for every annual anniversary thereafter, the prices set forth in Exhibit B – Prices shall be adjusted, based upon the percent changes (whether up or down) in the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor and Statistics (BLS) WPU 454101 indices, for the most recent year. Economic adjustment will lag one (1) calendar quarter past the Contract commencement date to allow for publication of BLS data. All calculations for the index shall be based upon the latest version of data published as of April each year. Prices shall be adjusted in June. If an index is recoded (i.e., the recoded index is a direct substitute for the prior index according to the BLS), this Contract will use the recoded index, as applicable.

The economic adjustment shall be calculated as follows: New Price = Old Price x (Current Period Index/Base Period Index).
