Annual CPI Rate Adjustment for Solid Waste Collection Services
This memorandum presents the solid waste collection rate adjustment based upon the
Consumer Price Index (CPI) in accordance with Section 21 of our contract with the City
of Meridian. This rate adjustment coincides wi,th the beginning of the next fiscal year,
October 1, 2004:
Adjustment Methodology
Our contract reqÜiresthat our costs be adjusted annually based upon th¡a "net
percentage of change in the Consumer Price Index for the Pacific Northwest." (The CPI
is no longer published for the Pacific Northwest so We: have used the CPI for the
Western Region of the United States.) Further, wereduce the calculated change in the
CPI by ten percent to account Jor aspects of the CPlthat do not apply to our business.
'Attached to this memorandum is the CPI printout from the U.S. Bureau of. Labor
Statistics. The CPI for July one year ago was 188.4 and this year it is 192.9. The net
percentage change b~tween the two values is 2.4%. Then, reducing this number by 10
percent yields a CPI adjustment of 2.16% that is applied to our costs.
Another requirement of our contract is that we exclude the landfill portion of ourfees
from the adjustment. We have completed calculations of what percentage oftotal costs
are disposal and have escalated the remainder by our allowable adjustment.
