    December 1, 2015

     

     

    To declare the existence of an emergency with respect to the need to approve Change Order Nos. 001 and 002 to Contract No. DCAM-14-NC-0046A with DC Partners for the Revitalization of Education Projects to complete the exercise of Option Year 002 and to authorize payment in the not-to-exceed amount of $9.8 million for the goods and services received and to be received under the contract for the period of Option Year 002..

     

                RESOLVED, BY THE COUNCIL OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, That this resolution may be cited as the “Exercise of Option Year 002 of Contract No. DCAM-14-NC-0046A Approval and Payment Authorization Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2015”.

     

                Sec. 2.  (a)  There exists an immediate need to approve Change Order Nos. 001 and 002 to Contract No. DCAM-14-NC-0046A with DC Partners for the Revitalization of Education Projects (“DCPEP”) for the exercise of the remainder of Option Year 002 of the Agreement for Program Management Services for the DCPS Portfolio. The changes orders exercise, in full, the last option to extend the term of the contract and establish an aggregate not-to-exceed amount of $9.8 million for Option Year 002. Council approval is necessary to authorize payment to DCPEP for the goods and services received and to be received under the contract and change orders for the period of Option Year 002. 

                (b)  The Department of General Services awarded the underlying contract with DCPEP to provide program management services for the District of Columbia Public Schools portfolio and certain legacy projects in the Department of Parks and Recreation portfolio. The contract was submitted to the Council for review and approval and was approved as CA20-0290.  Subsequently, the Department of General Services exercised the first of the 2 one-year options to extend the term of the contract; that action was also submitted to the Council for review and approval and was approved as CA20-0522.  Thereafter, the Department of General Services partially exercised the second option year and issued Change Order No. 001 to the partial exercise, the aggregate value of which was $975,000.    

                (c) Change Order No. 002 will cause the aggregate value of Option Year 002 to exceed $1 million. 

    (d)  Council approval of Change Order No. 002 is required 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), because the change order will increase the total expenditure under Option Year 002 of Contract No. DCAM-14-NC-0046A to an amount in excess of $1 million during a 12-month period.

     

                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 Exercise of Option Year 002 of Contract No. DCAM-14-NC-0046A Approval and Payment Authorization Emergency Act of 2015 be adopted after a single reading.

     

                Sec. 4.  This resolution shall take effect immediately.
