IN THE COUNCIL OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA

To declare the existence of an emergency with respect to the need to approve Task Order Nos. T0002 and T0003 for Human Care Agreement No. DCRL-2013-H-0039H to provide case management and traditional family-based foster care services for children and youth and to authorize payment for the services received and to be received under the human care agreement.

 

RESOLVED, BY THE COUNCIL OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, That this resolution may be cited as the “Task Orders for Human Care Agreement No. DCRL-2013-H-0039H Approval and Payment Authorization Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2014”.

 

Sec. 2. (a)  There exists an immediate need to approve Task Order Nos. T0002 and T0003 for Human Care Agreement No. DCRL-2013-H-0039H with Foundations for Home and Community, Inc. to provide case management and traditional family-based foster care services for children and youth that have been removed from their natural home due to abuse or neglect and to authorize payment for the services received and to be received under that agreement.

                        (b) On September 27, 2013, the Child and Family Services Agency awarded Human Care Agreement No. DCRL-2013-H-0039H to Foundations for Home and Community, Inc. for a base-year period from October 1, 2013 through September 30, 2014.

.                       (c) The Child and Family Services Agency thereafter exercised option year one of Human Care Agreement No. DCRL-2013-H-0039H and issued Task Order No. T0002 in the not-to-exceed amount of $948,821.79 for the first option-year period from October 1, 2014 through September 30, 2015.

(d) The Child and Family Services Agency thereafter modified Human Care Agreement No. DCRL-2013-H-0039H to include traditional foster care services for one teen parent with one child and issued Task Order No. T0003, which increased the not-to-exceed amount of $948,821.79 to $1,003,636.64 for the first option-year period from October 1, 2014 through September 30, 2015.

(e) Council approval is necessary to allow the continuation of these vital services because these orders increase the value of Human Care Agreement No. DCRL-2013-H-0039H to more than $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 Task Orders for Human Care Agreement No. DCRL-2013-H-0039H Approval and Payment Authorization Emergency Act of 2014 be adopted after a single reading.

 

Sec. 4.  This resolution shall take effect immediately.
