Impact Estimation Approach Sample Clauses

Impact Estimation Approach. ‌ NEPA requires that agencies include a detailed statement of, among other things, the environmental impacts of the Proposed Action and a description of adverse environmental impacts that would not be avoided should the Proposed Action be implemented (42 USC 4332). The 1978 NEPA regulations also indicate agencies should identify three types of impacts: direct, indirect, and cumulative (40 CFR 1508.8). To achieve this in an efficient manner, agencies aim to focus on impacts that are “reasonably foreseeable” and have a close causal relationship to the Proposed Action. On July 16, 2020, CEQ finalized new implementing NEPA regulations that become effective on September 14, 2020. The new regulations apply to all NEPA processes begun after the effective date of the new rules, but provide agencies with discretion to apply the new rules to ongoing NEPA processes. The NEPA process for this Proposed Action was initiated prior to the effective date of the new NEPA regulations with publication of the Notice of Intent in the Federal Register on July 16, 2020. This draft environmental assessment is intended to comply with the 1978 regulations and the Department of the Interior’s existing NEPA regulations. Based on applicable NEPA regulations, this NEPA analysis is limited to only those resources that would be impacted by the issuance of the Permit requested by the Applicant for activities covered in the 2020 DSL CCAA.

  • PRICE ESCALATION/DE-ESCALATION (CPI) The County may allow a price escalation provision within this award. The original contract prices shall be firm for an initial one (1) year period. A price escalation/de-escalation will be considered at one (1) year intervals thereafter, provided the Contractor notifies the County, in writing, of the pending price escalation/de-escalation a minimum of sixty (60) days prior to the effective date. Price adjustments shall be based on the latest version of the Consumers Price Index (CPI-U) for All Urban Consumers, All Items, U.S. City Average, non-seasonal, as published by the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics. This information is available at xxx.xxx.xxx. Price adjustment shall be calculated by applying the simple percentage model to the CPI data. This method is defined as subtracting the base period index value (at the time of initial award) from the index value at time of calculation (latest version of the CPI published as of the date of request for price adjustment), divided by the base period index value to identify percentage of change, then multiplying the percentage of change by 100 to identify the percentage change. Formula is as follows: Current Index – Base Index / Base Index = % of Change % of Change x 100 = Percentage Change CPI-U Calculation Example: CPI for current period 232.945 Less CPI for base period 229.815 Equals index point change 3.130 Divided by base period CPI 229.815 Equals 0.0136 Result multiplied by 100 0.0136 x 100 Equals percent change 1.4% A price increase may be requested only at each time interval specified above, using the methodology outlined in this section. To request a price increase, Contractor shall submit a letter stating the percentage amount of the requested increase and adjusted price to the Orange County Procurement Division. The letter shall include the complete calculation utilizing the formula above, and a copy of the CPI-U index table used in the calculation.

Should the CPI-U for All Urban Consumers, All Items, U.S City Average, as published by the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics decrease during the term of the contract, or any renewals, the Contractor shall notify the Orange County Procurement Division of price decreases in the method outlined above. If approved, the price adjustment shall become effective on the contract renewal date. If the Contractor fails to pass the decrease on to the County, the County reserves the right to place the Contractor in default, cancel the award, and remove the Contractor from the County Vendor List for a period of time deemed suitable by the County. In the event of this occurrence, the County further reserves the right to utilize any options as stated herein.
