Following the statutory increase in the Original Threshold Amount that took effect on July 1, 2009, and using the procedures in 965 CMR 4.03, the Department employed the following calculations in arriving at new Privatization Threshold Amounts:
Year | Avg. CPI Dec-Nov | Percent Change | Percent Change in Dollars | New Privatization Threshold (effective January 1st the following year) |
2009 | 214.071 | The calculation was not used in 2009 because doing so would have resulted in a threshold below the statutory threshold of $500,000. | ||
2010 | 217.828 | 1.76% | $8,775 | $508,775 |
2011 | 224.385 | 3.01% | $15,316 | $524,091 |
2012 | 229.267 | 2.18% | $11,403 | $535,494 |
