RESOLVED, BY THE COUNCIL OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, That this resolution may be cited as the “Contract No. GAGA-2013-C-0029 Modification Approval and Payment Authorization Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2015”.

 

Sec. 2. (a)  There exists an immediate need to approve Modification Nos. 3, 4, 4A, 5, and 6 to Contract No. GAGA-2013-C-0029 to continue option year 2 of the American Express Buy Down Account Program for the District of Columbia Public Schools.

            (b)  On September 30, 2015, by Modification No. 3, the District of Columbia Public Schools exercised a partial option of option year 2 of Contract No. GAGA-2013-C-0029 for the period October 1, 2015 through October 31, 2015 at no cost.

           (c) On October 13, 2015, by Modification No. 4, the District of Columbia Public Schools exercised a partial option of option year 2 of Contract No. GAGA-2013-C-0029 for the period November 1, 2015 through November 30, 2015 at no cost.

            (d) On November 17, 2015, by Modification No. 4A, the District of Columbia Public Schools exercised a partial option of option year 2 of Contract No. GAGA-2013-C-0029 for the period December 1, 2015 through December 30, 2015 at no cost.

           (e)  Modification No. 5 is now necessary to increase the contract from $10 million to $15 million.

          (f) Modification No. 6 is now necessary to exercise the remainder of option year 2 in the amount of $15 million.

(g)  Council approval is necessary because these modifications increase the expenditures under the contract to an amount in excess of $1 million during a 12-month period.

(h)  Approval is necessary to allow the continuation of these vital services.  Without this approval, American Express TRS Company, 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 Contract No. GAGA-2013-C-0029 Modification Approval and Payment Authorization Emergency Act of 2015 be adopted after a single reading.

 

Sec. 4.  This resolution shall take effect immediately.
