The cost-based adjustment, which is described in Exhibit I, involves 3641 a detailed review of the Contractor’s actual costs of service and determination of adjusted Rates to 3642 reflect Contractor’s projected costs. The cost-based adjustment shall not exceed a 6% increase in 3643 Rates. 3644 D. Rate Structure. The City shall have the sole and exclusive right to change the relationship of 3645 individual Rates in comparison with other Rates as City deems appropriate; provided, however, that 3646 any such changes shall occur in conjunction with the annual Rate adjustment process described in 3647 Section 8.3 or in conjunction with a Rate adjustment resulting from a Special Rate Review in 3648 accordance with Section 8.4; and, provided, further, that changes to the Rates charged under the 3649 new structure shall be calculated in such a way that the revised Rate structure is reasonably 3650 anticipated to generate at least the same amount of total revenue from the prior Rate Structure 3651 when the number of accounts at each Service Level are multiplied by the Rates charged for each 3652 Service Level and the total for all Service Levels are summed. 3653 8.3 Rate Application Process 3654 A.
