Common use of Route Changes Clause in Contracts

Route Changes. In the event it becomes desirable to change the route, the District reserves the right to change said route, subject to approval of the District Board of Trustees' and the County Transportation Committee. The contract rate shall be adjusted to reflect any increase or decrease in mileage resulting from a route change. Should a change be made, the contract rate shall be adjusted as set forth below. For route changes of 15% or less (cumulative of all changes during the term of this contract) of the original total daily route mileage, the increase or decrease in contract rate shall be computed at one-half (1/2) the per mile rate of this contract. The per mile rate shall be computed by dividing the daily rate of this contract as defined in Section IV (A) by the total daily route mileage specified in Exhibit A of this contract. For example, if the daily contract was $50.00 and the original route mileage was 50 miles, the per mile rate would be $1.00 ($50.00 divided by 50 miles) and the increase or decrease in the contract rate would be computed at $.50 per mile (1/2 of the per mile rate). The contract rate change for route changes that result in an increase or decrease of more than 15% of the original total daily route mileage shall be mutually agreed upon by the Contractor and the District.
