To declare the existence of an emergency with respect to the need to approve Change Orders No. FY13-002 through No. FY13-008 to Contract No. GM-10-S-0707B-FM between the District of Columbia government and Turner Construction Company for On-Call Small Capital Projects, and to authorize payment to Turner Construction Company in the aggregate amount of $3,148,287.37 for the goods and services received and to be received under these change orders.

 

            RESOLVED, BY THE COUNCIL OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, That this resolution may be cited as the “Change Orders No. FY13-002 through No. FY13-008 to Contract GM-10-S-0707B-FM Approval and Payment Authorization Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2013”.

 

            Sec. 2. (a)  There exists an immediate need to approve Change Orders No. FY13-002 through No. FY13-008 to Contract No. GM-10-S-0707B-FM for On-Call Small Capital Projects in the aggregate amount of $3,148,287.37 and to authorize payment for the goods and services received and to be received under these change orders. 

            (b)  The underlying Contract was competitively bid and awarded to Turner Construction Company, and the Council previously approved Option Year 2 with a not-to-exceed amount of $3,500,000 (CA 19-0461). The Council subsequently approved Change Order No. FY13-001 with a value of $4,653,554.35 (CA20-0139). Thereafter, the Department of General Services issued Change Orders FY13-002 through FY13-007.  The aggregate value of Change Orders No. FY13-002 through No. FY13-007 was less than $1 million; thus, these change orders did not require Council approval.

            (c) Change Order No. FY13-008 will cause the aggregate value of change orders issued after Council approval of Option Year 2 of Contract No. GM-10-S-0707B-FM and approval of Change Order No. FY13-001 to exceed the $1 million threshold pursuant to section 451 of the District of Columbia Home Rule Act, approved December 24, 1973 (87 Stat. 803; D.C. Official Code § 1-204.51).

(d)  Approval of Change Orders No. FY13-002 through No. FY13-008 and authorization of payment in the aggregate amount of $3,148,287.37 is necessary to compensate Turner Construction Company for work completed and to be completed pursuant to its Contract No. GM-10-S-0707B-FM for On-Call Small Capital Projects. 

            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 Change Orders No. FY13-002 through No. FY13-008 to Contract GM-10-S-0707B-FM Approval and Payment Authorization Emergency Act of 2013 be adopted after a single reading.

 

            Sec. 4.  This resolution shall take effect immediately.
