RESOLVED, BY THE COUNCIL OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, That this resolution may be cited as the “Contract DCGD-2009-C-0036 Modifications Approval and Payment Authorization Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2013”.

 

Sec. 2. (a)  There exists a need to approve Modification Nos. 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 and proposed Modification Nos. 10 and 11 to Contract DCGD-2009-C-0036 with CTB/McGraw-Hill, LLC, for services related to the development and implementation of the District of Columbia Comprehensive Assessment System and to authorize payment for the goods and services received and to be received under the contract.

(b)  On June 30, 2011, by Modification No. 4, the Office of Contracting and Procurement (“OCP”) exercised a partial option of option year 2, in the amount of $949,266.20 for the period from July 1, 2011, through October 15, 2011.

(c)  On October 14, 2011, by Modification No. 5, the OCP exercised another partial option of option year 2, in the amount of $949,266.20 for the period from October 16, 2011, through December 31, 2011.

 (e)  On June 27, 2012, by Modification No. 7, the OCP exercised a partial option of option year 3, in the amount of $835,469.25 for the period from July 1, 2012, through September 30, 2012.

 (f)  On September 28, 2012, by Modification No. 8, the OCP exercised another partial option of option year 3, in the amount of $836,907.75 for the period from October 1, 2012, through December 31, 2012.

 (h)  The OCP now seeks Council approval to approve Modification No. 10, which will modify Contract DCGD-2009-C-0036 to increase the requirements under the contract to include new common core state standards and replace the price schedule for option years 2, 3, and 4.  Modification No. 10 increases the price for services performed under option year 2 by $2,515,995.95.

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 DCGD-2009-C-0036 Modifications Approval and Payment Authorization Emergency Act of 2013 be adopted after a single reading.
