Spanish term or phrase: es decir básicos
"Se procedio a aplicar el tipo de cambio del contrato ($8.00 porU$D) para manejar pesos mexicanos de la firma del contrato, es decir basicos." This job has required a lot of "creative translating," I think this may be another instance of that.

As a possibility, see:

Another possibility (also lots of Google hits) might be \"base currency\".

Es decir básicos...


Explanation:
First: I believe there is a mistake and it should read="pesos Mexicanos EN la firma del contrato". Check it out.

If this is so, "es decir básicos" may mean that the Mexican peso will be the main currency in this contract.
Please send more text in Spanish to be sure.

pesos at a basic rate


Explanation:
You've got a job to translate some creative writing, too! Plus, the peso has been at nine and change to the dollar for some time now, even hit close to ten some time ago and then went back.
