RESOLVED, BY THE COUNCIL OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, That this resolution may be cited as the “Task Order No. CW15546 Option Year Two Approval and Payment Authorization Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2015”.

 

Sec. 2. (a)  There exists an immediate need to approve the exercise of the second option year of Task Order No. CW15546 with AT&T Mobility National Accounts LLC to supply the District with wireless telecommunications products and services and other wireless telecommunication solutions related to enterprise communications and information technology, and to authorize payment for the services received and to be received under the task order.

(b) On August 1, 2012, the District signed a participating addendum to the Western States Contracting Alliance cooperative purchasing agreement between the State of Nevada and AT&T Mobility National Accounts LLC.

(c) On September 25, 2012, pursuant to the cooperative purchasing agreement, the District issued Task Order No. CW15546 (“Task Order”), to AT&T Mobility National Accounts LLC. The initial term of the Task Order was for the period from October 1, 2012, through September 30, 2013, for payment in the not-to-exceed amount of $2,000,000.

(d) Thereafter the District issued Modification No. 1 to the Task Order, exercising option year one effective October 1, 2013 and continuing performance for the period from October 1, 2013, through September 30, 2014, for payment in the not-to-exceed amount of $2,000,000.

(e) On September 19, 2014, the District issued Modification No. 2 to the Task Order, partially exercising option year 2 and continuing performance for the period from October 1, 2014, through November 30, 2014, for payment in the not-to-exceed amount of $333,333.34.

(f) On November 12, 2014, the District issued Modification No. 3 to the Task Order, partially exercising option year 2 and continuing performance for the period from December 1, 2014, through December 30, 2014, for payment in the not-to-exceed amount of $161,111.11. 

(g) On December 30, 2014, the District issued Modification No. 4 to the Task Order, partially exercising option year 2 and continuing performance for the period from December 31, 2014 through January 31, 2015, for payment in the not-to-exceed amount of $165,555.55.

 (h) Modification No. 5 to the Task Order would continue performance for the remainder of option year 2 from February 1, 2015 through September 30, 2015, for payment in the aggregate not-to-exceed amount of $2,000,000.

(i) Council approval of the exercise of the second option year of Task Order No. CW15546 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 exercising the option year for payment in the aggregate not-to-exceed amount of $2,000,000 would increase the contract value to more than $1,000,000 during a 12-month period.

(j) Approval of the exercise of the second option year of Task Order No. CW15546 is necessary to allow the continuation of these vital services.  Without this approval, AT&T Mobility National Accounts LLC cannot be paid for services provided in excess of $1,000,000 during option year 2.

 

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 Order No. CW15546 Option Year Two Approval and Payment Authorization Emergency Act of 2015 be adopted after a single reading.

 

Sec. 4.  This resolution shall take effect immediately.
