Finally, a period of nine (9) months was established, from the date the Preliminary Agreement was signed and renewable upon agreement between the Parties, for ARTESP to confirm the calculations of the economic and financial imbalances indicated in the Preliminary Agreement, favorable to both the Granting Authority and the Concessionaires, and observing the assumptions, guidelines and calculation methodologies provided therein that have already been adopted at the administrative level.
