RESOLVED, BY THE COUNCIL OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, That this resolution may be cited as the “Contract No. DCPO-2011-T0079 Option Year Three Approval and Payment Authorization Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2015”.

 

Sec. 2. (a)  There exists an immediate need to approve the exercise of the third option year of Contract No. DCPO-2011-T-0079 with Cellco d/b/a Verizon Wireless to supply the District with wireless telecommunications products and services related to enterprise communications and information technology, and to authorize payment for the services received, and to be received, under the Contract.

(b) On August 7, 2011, the District of Columbia Office of Contracting and Procurement (OCP) issued to Verizon Wireless Task Order Number DCPO-2011-T-0079 (“Contract”) against a United States General Services Administration (GSA) Federal Supply Schedule Contract, GS-35F-0119P (BPA# 2010-0001).  The initial term of the Contract was from the date of award for a period of one year, in the not-to-exceed amount of $4,200,000. 

(c) OCP issued Modification No. 1 to the Contract on May 24, 2012 to extend the base year period of performance to September 30, 2012, at no additional cost, and to change the period of performance for option year one to October 1, 2012 through September 30, 2013.

 (d) On September 25, 2012, OCP issued Modification No. 2 to the Contract to exercise option year one for the period from October 1, 2012 through September 30, 2013, in the not-to-exceed amount of $4,200,000.

(e) On September 26, 2013, OCP issued Modification No. 3 to the Contract to exercise option year 2 for the period from October 1, 2013, through September 30, 2014, in the not-to-exceed amount of $4,200,000.

(f) OCP issued Modification No. 4 to the Contract to partially exercise option year 3  for the period from October 1, 2014, through November 27, 2014, in the not-to-exceed amount of $685,000. 

(g) On November 12, 2014, OCP issued Modification No. 5 to the Contract to partially exercise option year 3 for the period from November 28, 2014 to December 28, 2014, in the not-to-exceed amount of $350,000. 

(h) On December 26, 2014, OCP issued Modification No. 6 to the Contract to reduce the not-to-exceed amount of Modification No. 5 from $350,000 to $250,000 and partially exercise option year 3 for the period from December 29, 2014 through January 31, 2015 in the amount of $60,000.

(i) On January 30, 2015, OCP issued Modification No. 7 to the Contract to partially exercise option year 3 for the period from February 1, 2015 through February 28, 2015 in the amount of $4,999.

(j) By Modification No. 8 to the Contract, OCP intends to exercise the remainder of option year 3 for the period from March 1, 2015, through September 30, 2015, in the aggregate not-to-exceed amount of $4,200,000.

(k) Council approval of the exercise of the third option year of the Contract 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 $4,200,000 would increase the contract value to an amount in excess of $1,000,000.00 during a 12-month period.

(l) Approval of the exercise of the third option year of the Contract is necessary to allow the continuation of these vital services.  Without this approval, Cellco d/b/a Verizon Wireless cannot be paid for services provided in excess of $1,000,000.

 

 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. DCPO-2011-T-0079 Option Year Three Approval and Payment Authorization Emergency Act of 2015 be adopted after a single reading.

 

Sec. 4.  This resolution shall take effect immediately.
