A RESOLUTION

20-307

IN THE COUNCIL OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA

October 1, 2013

 

 

To declare the existence of an emergency with respect to the need to approve Modification No. 13 to Contract No. DCKA-2010-C-0219 with C&D Tree Service, Inc. and to authorize payment for 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. 13 to Contract No. DCKA-2010-C-0219 Approval and Payment Authorization Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2013”.

 

Sec. 2.   (a) There exists an immediate need to approve Modification No. 13 to Contract No. DCKA-2010-C-0219 for tree planting services to the District Department of Transportation (“DDOT”) and to authorize payment for services received and to be received under this contract.

 

(b) On November 8, 2012, DDOT’s Office of Contracting and Procurement (“OCP”) exercised option year 2 of contract no. DCKA-2010-C-0219 with C&D Tree Service, Inc. for tree planting services in the amount of $999,087.00.  The District seeks Council approval of Modification No. 13, which will increase the number of trees to be planted by 4,992 and will increase the funding by $1,124,402.00, for a total estimated contract amount of $2,123,489.00 for option year 2.  DDOT must plant more trees than previously required in order to comply with changes to the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Permit No. DC00021, Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System 4 Permit, issued by the Environmental Protection Agency.   

            (c)  Council approval is necessary because this modification increases the contract by more than $1 million during a 12-month period.  Council approval is necessary to allow the continuation of these vital services and to allow C&D to continue performance under the contract.

 

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. 13 to Contract No. DCKA-2010-C-0219 Approval and Payment Authorization Emergency Act of 2013 be adopted after a single reading.

 

Sec. 4. This resolution shall take effect immediately.
