To declare the existence of an emergency with respect to the need to approve Contract No. DCGO-2011-C-0008-M01 to provide school bus maintenance and repair services, and to authorize payment for the services received under that contract.

 

RESOLVED, BY THE COUNCIL OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, That this resolution may be cited as the “Contract No. DCGO-2011-C-0008-M01 Approval and Payment Authorization Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2012”.

 

Sec. 2. (a)  There exists an immediate need to approve Contract No. DCGO-2011-C-0008-M01 with Precision Truck Repair, Inc., (“Precision”) to provide school bus maintenance and repair services and to authorize payment for the services received under that contract. 

(b)  On April 1, 2011, the Office of Contracting and Procurement (“OCP”), on behalf of the Office of the State Superintendent of Education (OSSE), entered into a contract with Precision to provide school bus maintenance service in an amount not to exceed $900,000. 

(c)  On March 19, 2012, OSSE conducted a reconciliation of all purchase orders executed to fund Contract No. DCGO-2011-C-0008-M01.  The total amount of the 4 purchase orders (PO359302, PO365516, PO375016, and PO390287) issued for this contract exceeds $1 million.  Based on the statement from the contractor, the total amount of all invoices for the period April 1, 2011, through March 31, 2012, is $1,559,212.

            (d)  Council approval is necessary as the contract is now for more than $1 million during a 12-month period.

(e)  Council approval is necessary to allow the continuation of these vital services.  Without this approval, Precision cannot be paid for services provided in excess of $1million.

 

 Sec. 3.  The Council of the District of Columbia determines that the circumstances enumerated in section 2 constitute emergency circumstances making it necessary that the Contract No. DCGO-2011-C-0008-M01 Approval and Payment Authorization Emergency Act of 2012 be adopted after a single reading.

 

Sec. 4.  This resolution shall take effect immediately.
