Equipment changes which were specifically described, either by itemization or by performance standards, in the original bidding specifications and for which all bidders were requested to submit bid proposals, when in accordance with a formal written plan of time-phased expansion, prepared prior to solicitation of bids, and when the bid proposals for such changes were considered in the determination of the successful bidder; or

2. An item of equipment which is discontinued by the vendor may be replaced with a comparable model which performs the same or increased workload provided that neither the workload nor the cost exceeds that specified in the original contract or the plan of expansion referred to in (a)1 above.
