IN THE COUNCIL OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA

 

December 2, 2014

 

 

 

To declare the existence of an emergency with respect to the need to approve Modification No. 4 to Contract No. CW24075 with Tri-Gas & Oil, Inc., to provide biodiesel fuel and to authorize payment for the services received and to be received under the contract.

 

 

RESOLVED, BY THE COUNCIL OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, That this resolution may be cited as the “Modification No. 4 to Contract No. CW24705 Approval and Payment Authorization Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2014”.

 

Sec. 2. (a)  There exists an immediate need to approve Modification No. 4 to Contract No. CW24705 with Tri-Gas & Oil, Inc., to provide biodiesel fuel and to authorize payment for the services received and to be received under the contract. 

(b)  Effective November 7, 2014, the Office of Contracting and Procurement (“OCP”), on behalf of the Department of General Services, exercised a partial option for the period November 7, 2014, through January 31, 2015, in the not-to-exceed amount of $990,000.  The partial option was awarded so that the contractor could continue to provide the required fuel.  

(c)  OCP seeks approval of the definitized contract in the maximum amount of $2 million.

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

(e)  Approval is necessary to allow the continuation of these vital services.  Without this approval, Tri-Gas & Oil, Inc., cannot be paid for fuel to be provided in excess of $990,000.00.

 

 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 Modification No. 4 to Contract No. CW24705 Approval and Payment Authorization Emergency Act of 2014 be adopted after a single reading.

 

Sec. 4.  This resolution shall take effect immediately.
