§ 16-3. Emergency commitment.

Whenever it is necessary, in order to meet an emergency, for a City agency to place an order for materials and/or services before a written commitment can be furnished to the vendor or contractor, a written confirming order shall be submitted to the Comptroller within three business days after the commitment has been made. In addition to setting forth the usual information required in the purchase order, the commitment shall also contain a statement indicating that the order is a confirming order, the date thereof and the manner in which and by whom the commitment was made.
