RESOLVED, BY THE COUNCIL OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, That this resolution may be cited as the “Human Care Agreement No. CW39771 Approval and Payment Authorization Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2016”.

 

Sec. 2. (a)  There exists an immediate need to approve Human Care Agreement (“HCA”) No. CW39771 with BoysTown Washington D.C., Inc. (“BoysTown”) to provide group home services for youth that are in the temporary custody of the District’s Department of Youth and Rehabilitative Services (“DYRS”) and to authorize payment for the services received and to be received under that HCA. 

(b)  On October 1, 2015, the Office of Contracting and Procurement (“OCP”), on behalf of the Department of Youth and Rehabilitative Services, entered into a letter Human Care Agreement No. CW39771 with BoysTown to provide group home services for youth between 12 and 21 years of age who are in the custody of DYRS via court order in the not-to-exceed contract amount of $721,440 The letter HCA was to be definitized within 120 days.

            (c) OCP now desires to definitize the HCA and increase the contract ceiling amount to $2,194,380 for the period from October 1, 2015 through September 30, 2016.

(d) Council approval is necessary because the contract is more than $1 million during a 12-month period. Council approval is also necessary to allow the continuation of these vital services.  Without Council approval, BoysTown 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 Contract No. CW39771 Approval and Payment Authorization Emergency Act of 2016 be adopted after a single reading.

 

Sec. 4.  This resolution shall take effect immediately.
