In contracts for the purchase of goods, work or services ("items") that are structured as "requirements" contracts, in which the quantities for the goods identified by line item in the contract are estimates only and the city will make purchases from the contract based upon its needs, the chief procurement officer may include, in the contract, items (and prices thereof) that were omitted from the original specification or request for proposals that had been publicly advertised, subject to the following limitations: (i) the items are of the same nature as those items in the contract, (ii) the aggregated value of the city's purchases for such additional items over the term of the contract does not exceed ten percent of the original value of the contract and (iii) the chief procurement officer conducted first a survey of the price in the market for such items.
