IN THE COUNCIL OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA

 

October 11, 2016        

 

 

To declare the existence of an emergency with respect to the need to approve Modification Nos. 8, 9, and 10 to Contract No. GAGA-2014-C-0029 with Leading Educators to provide Teacher Leadership Development Services, and to authorize payment in the not-to-exceed amount of $2,909,565.00 for the goods and services received and to be received under the modifications.

 

RESOLVED, BY THE COUNCIL OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, That this resolution may be cited as the “Modifications to Contract No. GAGA-2014-C-0029 Approval and Payment Authorization Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2016”.

 

Sec. 2. (a)  There exists a need to approve Modification Nos. 8, 9, and 10 to Contract No. GAGA-2014-C-0029 with Leading Educators to provide Teacher Leadership Development Services and to authorize payment for the goods and services received and to be received during option year 3 of the contract.

(b)  The District of Columbia Public Schools (“DCPS”) awarded Contract No. GAGA-2014-C-0029 to Leading Educators on February 28, 2014, to provide Teacher Leadership Development Services.  The term of the contract was for a base period of 4 months and 3 option years. 

(c) By Modification No. 8, DCPS partially exercised option year 3 of Contract No. GAGA-2014-C-0029 for the period from July 1, 2016 to September 30, 2016 in the not-to-exceed amount of $900,000.00. 

(d)  By Modification No. 9, DCPS further partially exercised option year 3 of Contract No. GAGA-2014-C-0029 for the period from October 1, 2016 to October 15, 2016 in the not-to-exceed amount of $100,000.00

(e)  By Modification No. 10, DCPS proposes to exercise the remainder of option year 3 of Contract No. GAGA-2014-C-0029 for the period from October 15, 2016 to June 30, 2017 in the not-to-exceed amount of $1,909,565.00, for an aggregate not-to-exceed amount for all of option year 3 of $2,909,565.00.      

(f) Council approval of Modification Nos. 8, 9, and 10 is necessary because these modifications increase the contract amount by more than $1 million during a 12-month period.

(g)  Approval of Modification Nos. 8, 9, and 10 is necessary to allow the continuation of these vital services.  Without this approval, Leading Educators cannot be paid for services provided in excess of $1 million during option year 3 of the contract from July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2017.

 

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 Modifications to Contract No. GAGA-2014-C-0029 Approval and Payment Authorization Emergency Act of 2016 be adopted after a single reading.

 

Sec. 4.  This resolution shall take effect immediately.
