21-37

 

IN THE COUNCIL OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA

 

March 3, 2015

 

 

To declare the existence of an emergency with respect to the need to approve Contract No. CW31163 with Accenture Federal Services LLC for independent verification and validation of the District of Columbia Access System (DCAS), and to authorize payment for the services received and to be received under the contract.

 

RESOLVED, BY THE COUNCIL OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, That this resolution may be cited as the “Contract No. CW31163 Approval and Payment Authorization Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2015”.

 

Sec. 2. (a)  There exists an immediate need to approve proposed Contract No. CW31163 with Accenture Federal Services LLC, and to authorize payment for the services received and to be received under the contract.

(b) On September 25, 2014, the Office of Contracting and Procurement (“OCP”) issued Contract No. CW31163 to Accenture Federal Services LLC as a letter contract to run from October 1, 2014, to October 31, 2014 in the amount of $158,750.

(c) On October 23, 2014, OCP issued Modification No. 1 to Contract No. CW31163 to extend the Contract through December 31, 2014, in the amount of $689,896.69.

(d) On December 23, 2014, OCP issued Modification No. 3 to Contract No. CW31163 to extend the Contract from December 31, 2014 through January 31, 2015 in the amount of $149,230.61.

(e) On January 29, 2015, OCP issued Modification No. 5 to Contract No. CW31163 to extend the Contract from January 31, 2015 through February 23, 2015 at no cost.

(f) OCP now proposes to definitize Contract No. CW31163 , incorporating the letter contract and the subsequent modifications, for the period from October 1, 2014 through September 30, 2015, in the aggregate estimated amount of $1,876,872.     

 (g) Council approval of the definitized Contract No. CW31163 is necessary pursuant to section 451(b)(1) of the District of Columbia Home Rule Act, approved December 24, 1973 (87 Stat. 803; D.C. Official Code §1-204.51(b)(1)), because the estimated contract amount is in excess of $1 million during a 12-month period.

(h) Approval of the definitized Contract No. CW31163 is necessary to allow the continuation of these vital services.  Without this approval, Accenture Federal Services LLC 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. CW31163 Approval and Payment Authorization Emergency Act of 2015 be adopted after a single reading.

 

Sec. 4.  This resolution shall take effect immediately.
