IN THE COUNCIL OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA

 

February 2, 2016        

 

 

To declare the existence of an emergency with respect to the need to approve the exercise of option year 2 of Contract No. DCAM-14-CS-0001C with Environmental Design and Construction LLC for DCPS and DPR small construction projects, and to authorize payment in the not-to-exceed amount of $10 million for goods and services received and to be received under option year 2 of the contract.

 

            RESOLVED, BY THE COUNCIL OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, That this resolution may be cited as the “Exercise of Option Year 2 of Contract No. DCAM-14-CS-0001C Approval and Payment Authorization Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2016”.

 

            Sec. 2. (a)  There exists an immediate need to approve the exercise of option year 2 of Contract No. DCAM-14-CS-0001C with Environmental Design and Construction LLC for DCPS and DPR small construction projects, and to authorize payment in the not-to-exceed amount of $10 million for the goods and services received and to be received under option year 2 of the contract. 

            (b)  Contract No. DCAM-14-CS-0001C (the “Contract”) was approved by the Council with an established not-to-exceed value of $10 million and 2 one-year options to extend the term of the Contract.  All work under the Contract was to be awarded and released through individual project task orders, based on a competitive bidding process, as set forth in Section 1.2 of the Contract. 

(c)  The base year of the Contract ended on September 30, 2014.  Option year one of the Contract was exercised in part in mid-October 2014 through a bilateral letter agreement.  Subsequently, the Council approved the full exercise of option year one, in the aggregate not-to-exceed amount of $10 million.  

(d)  Thereafter, in Fiscal Year 2016, the Department of General Services partially exercised option year 2 of the Contract in the not-to-exceed amount of $975,000.00.  Council approval is now required for the full exercise of option year 2, to extend the term of the Contract through Fiscal Year 2016.  The terms and conditions of the Contract have not changed, and the aggregate not-to-exceed value of option year 2 would be increased to $10 million.

 

            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 2 of Contract No. DCAM-14-CS-0001C Approval and Payment Authorization Emergency Act of 2016 be adopted after a single reading.

 

            Sec. 4.  This resolution shall take effect immediately.
