IN THE COUNCIL OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA

 

October 6, 2015         

 

 

To declare the existence of an emergency with respect to the need to approve Modification No. 11 and proposed Modification No. 12 to Contract No. DDOE-2010- SEU-0001 with Vermont Energy Investment Corporation to continue to provide sustainable energy utility services and to authorize payment for the services to be received.

 

RESOLVED, BY THE COUNCIL OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, That this resolution may be cited as the “Modifications to Contract No. DDOE-2010-SEU-0001 Approval and Payment Authorization Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2015”.

 

Sec. 2. (a)  There exists a need to approve Modification No. 11 and proposed Modification No. 12 to Contract No. DDOE-2010-SEU-0001 with Vermont Energy Investment Corporation to provide sustainable energy services to the District and to authorize payment for the services received and to be received under that contract.

(b)  On September 25, 2015, by Modification No. 11, the Office of the Deputy Mayor for Planning and Economic Development, on behalf of the Department of Energy and Environment, exercised a partial option of option year 5 of Contract No. DDOE-2010-SEU-0001 to provide sustainable energy services for the period from October 1 through October 31, 2015, in a not-to-exceed amount of $990,000. 

(c)  Modification No. 12 is now necessary to exercise the remainder of option year 5 in the not-to exceed amount of $19,010,000 for the period from November 1, 2015, through September 30, 2016, resulting in a total not-to-exceed amount of $20 million for the period from October 1, 2015, through September 30, 2016.

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

(e)  Approval is necessary to allow the continuation of these vital services.  Without this approval, Vermont Energy Investment Corporation cannot be paid for services provided in excess of $1 million for the contract period October 1, 2015, through September 30, 2016.

 

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. DDOE-2010-SEU-0001 Approval and Payment Authorization Emergency Act of 2015 be adopted after a single reading.

 

Sec. 4.  This resolution shall take effect immediately.
