Atco Tow, Inc., will be able to request rate increases equal to the rate of increase in the Consumer Price Index for the San Francisco - Oakland area as published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, plus two percent, on each anniversary of the effective date of this Contract. The contract will be used as needed, with no minimum amount that must be used. Fleet Services is requesting a contract with Atco Tow, Inc., to be approved for a period covering three years.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, towing services with Atco Tow, Inc., will be discontinued.
