To declare the existence of an emergency with respect to the need to approve the exercise of option year 2, via Change Order No. 004, of Contract No. DCAM-14-CS-0096C with Broughton Construction Company, LLC for on-call construction, maintenance, and repair services, and to authorize payment for the 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-0096C 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, via Change Order No. 004, to Contract No. DCAM-14-CS-0096C with Broughton Construction Company, LLC for on-call construction, maintenance, and repair services, and to authorize payment in the not-to-exceed amount of $2,494,043 for the goods and services received and to be received under option year 2 of the contract.

            (b) In Fiscal Year 2014, the Department of General Services (the “Department”) awarded Contract No. DCAM-14-CS-0096C (the “Contract”) to Broughton Construction Company, LLC to provide on-call construction, maintenance, and repair services at certain District facilities, which was submitted to the Council for review and approval and was approved (CA20-0343).  Subsequently, the Department exercised the first of the 2 one-year options contemplated by the Contract to extend the term of the Contract through Fiscal Year 2015; that action was also submitted to the Council for review and approval and was approved (CA20-0544). Thereafter, the Department partially exercised the second option year on a zero-dollar basis and issued Change Order No. 001 in the amount of $750,000, Change Order No. 002 in the amount of $144,043, and Change Order No. 003 in the amount of $0, the aggregate value of which was $894,043; thus, Council approval was not required. The Department now desires to exercise option year 2 in full, via Change Order No. 004, and to provide additional funding as the term is extended.

(c) Council approval of Change Order No. 004 is required pursuant to section 451 of the District of Columbia Home Rule Act, approved December 24, 1973 (87 Stat. 803; D.C. Official Code § 1-204.51), because the Change Order will increase the total expenditure under Contract No. DCAM-14-CS-0096C for option year 2 by an amount in excess of $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 Exercise of Option Year 2 of Contract No. DCAM-14-CS-0096C Approval and Payment Authorization Emergency Act of 2016 be adopted after a single reading.

 

            Sec. 4. This resolution shall take effect immediately.
