    RESOLVED, BY THE COUNCIL OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, That this resolution may be cited as the “Modifications 00002 and 00003 to Human Care Agreement No. DCJM-2013-H-0007-02 Approval and Payment Authorization Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2016”.

     

    Sec. 2. (a)  There exists an immediate need to approve Modification No. 00002 and proposed Modification No. 00003 to Human Care Agreement (“HCA”) No. DCJM-2013-H-0007-02 with St. John’s Community Services (“St. John’s”) to provide residential habilitation, supported living and host home services for persons with intellectual and developmental disabilities, and to authorize payment for the services received and to be received under these modifications.

    (b)  On December 1, 2013, the District of Columbia (“District”) Department on Disability Services (“DDS”) entered into HCA No. DCJM-2013-H-0007-02 with St. John’s to provide residential habilitation, supported living and host home services for persons with intellectual and developmental disabilities from December 1, 2013, through November 30, 2014, in the total estimated contract amount of $2,251,661.25.

                (c)  On November 29, 2014, by Modification No. 00001, DDS exercised Option Year One and extended the term of the HCA for the period from December 1, 2014, through November 30, 2015, in the estimated contract amount of $2,222,825.29.

    (d)  On November 17, 2015, by Modification No. 00002, DDS partially exercised Option Year 2 to extend the term of the HCA from December 1, 2015, through April 30, 2016, in the estimated contract amount of $753,556.84.

    (e)  By proposed Modification No. 00003, DDS intends to exercise the remainder of Option Year 2 from May 1, 2016, through November 30, 2016, in the estimated contract amount of $1,507,113.77. The total estimated contract amount for Option Year 2 is $2,260,670.61.

    (f)  Council approval is necessary since the modifications and contract are more than $1 million during a 12-month period.

    (g)  Approval is necessary to allow the continuation of these vital services.  Without this approval, St. John’s cannot be paid for services provided in excess of $1 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 Modifications 00002 and 00003 to Human Care Agreement No. DCJM-2013-H-0007-02 Approval and Payment Authorization Emergency Act of 2016 be adopted after a single reading.

     

    Sec. 4.  This resolution shall take effect immediately.
