            RESOLVED, BY THE COUNCIL OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, That this resolution may be cited as the “Contract No. DCBE-2006-D-0008 Modification Approval and Payment Authorization Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2012”.

            (b)  Modification 5 extended, on a sole source basis, the contract from March 1, 2012, through October 31, 2012, for an estimated amount of $903,549.  By proposed Modification 7, the District intends to extend, again on a sole source basis, the contract from November 1, 2012, through December 31, 2012, for an estimated amount of $179,733.  The total estimated amount for the period of March 1, 2012, through December 31, 2012, is $1,083,282.
