To declare the existence of an emergency with respect to the need to approve proposed Modification No. 2 to Contract No. CW30750 with Cisco Systems, Inc. to provide data communications equipment and services related to enterprise communications and information technology, and to authorize payment in the not-to-exceed amount of $7,000,000 for the goods and services to be received under the modification.

 

RESOLVED, BY THE COUNCIL OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, That this resolution may be cited as the “Modification No. 2 to Contract No. CW30750 Approval and Payment Authorization Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2016”.

 

Sec. 2. (a)  There exists a need to approve proposed Modification No. 2 to Contract No. CW30750 with Cisco Systems, Inc.  for upgrading, expanding, and enhancing network infrastructure and communication services to increase the ceiling amount of the contract, and to authorize payment for the goods and services received and to be received under the modification.

(b)  On December 31, 2015, the Office of Contracting and Procurement (“OCP”) awarded Contract No. CW30750 Cisco Systems, Inc. to provide data communications equipment and services related to enterprise communications and information technology for the period from January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2015 in the not-to-exceed amount of $13,000,000. 

(c)  By Modification No. 1, OCP exercised option year one of Contract No. CW30750 for the period from January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2016 in the not-to-exceed amount of $13,000,000 (“Option Year One”).

(d) Modification No. 2 is now necessary to increase the not-to-exceed amount of Option Year One to $20,000,000.

(e)  Council approval of Modification No. 2 is necessary because the modification increases the contract amount by more than $1 million during a 12-month period.

(f)  Approval of Modification No. 2 is necessary to allow the continuation of these vital services.  Without this approval, Cisco Systems, Inc., cannot be paid for services provided in excess of $13,000,000.00 during Option Year One.

 

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. 2 to Contract No. CW30750 Approval and Payment Authorization Emergency Act of 2016 be adopted after a single reading.

 

Sec. 4.  This resolution shall take effect immediately.
