Contract Expansion. This contract may be expanded as mutually agreed, if such expansion is approved by the City Buyer. Expansions must be issued in writing from the City Buyer in a formal notice. The Buyer will ensure the expansion meets the following criteria collectively: (a) it could not be separately bid; (b) the change is for a reasonable purpose; (c) the change was not reasonably known to either the City or Contractors at time of bid or else was mentioned as a possibility in the bid (such as a change in environmental regulation or other law); (d) the change is not significant enough to be reasonably regarded as an independent body of work; (e) the change could not have attracted a different field of competition; and (f) the change does not vary the essential identity or main purpose of the contract. The Buyer shall make this determination, and may make exceptions for immaterial changes, emergency or sole source conditions, or for other situations as required in the opinion of the Buyer. Note that certain changes are not considered an expansion of scope, including an increase in quantities ordered, the exercise of options and alternates in the bid, or ordering of work originally identified within the originating solicitation. If such changes are approved, changes are conducted as a written order issued by the Purchasing Buyer in writing to the Contractor.

Contract Expansion. This contract may be further expanded to include any other item normally offered by the Vendor, as long as the price of such additional items do not exceed the price paid by other customers purchasing similar quantities. Due to advances in technology that may occur from year to-year, any resulting contract may be expanded to include the most current version of sewer flow meters and software. The Vendor agrees to provide these using a similar pricing structure.
Contract Expansion. Services listed in the Technical Specifications of RFP #DIT-27 are currently the services required at this time, but this does not represent all related services that may be required from year to year. Therefore, this contract may be expanded to cover other related services provided that these other services are normally furnished by the Contractor, and that the Contractor agrees to provide them at fair and reasonable prices as determined by Purchasing Services. Any expansion of the contract must be approved by Purchasing Services and any changes to the contract will be made by amendment.
