RESOLVED, BY THE COUNCIL OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, That this resolution may be cited as the “Task Orders to Human Care Agreement No. DCHC-2011-H-0002 Approval and Payment Authorization Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2012”.

 

Sec. 2.

(f)  Proposed Task Order No. T004, in the amount of $480,153.31 for the period from the date of award to August 25, 2012, would bring the total amount of task orders for the base year to an amount not-to-exceed $1,475,164.
