To declare the existence of an emergency with respect to the need to approve Change Order Nos. 001 through 004 to Contract No. DCAM-15-CS-0112 with District Veterans Contracting, Inc. for the renovation of the Wilson Building, and to authorize payment in the aggregate amount of $2,465,608.64 for the goods and services received and to be received under the change orders.

 

            RESOLVED, BY THE COUNCIL OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, That this resolution may be cited as the “Change Order Nos. 001 through 004 to Contract No. DCAM-15-CS-0112 Approval and Payment Authorization Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2016”.

 

            Sec. 2. (a)  There exists an immediate need to approve Change Order Nos. 001 through 004 to Contract No. DCAM-15-CS-0112 with District Veterans Contracting, Inc. for the renovation of the Wilson Building, and to authorize payment in the aggregate amount of $2,465,608.64 for the goods and services received and to be received under the change orders. 

            (b)  The underlying contract was previously deemed approved by the Council on November 23, 2015 (CA21-0238). The Department of General Services issued Change Order No. 001 ($0), Change Order No. 002 ($519,263.83), and Change Order No. 003 ($201,345.81). The aggregate value of those change orders was less than $1 million; thus, Change Order Nos. 001 through 003 did not require Council approval.

            (c) Change Order No. 004 will cause the aggregate value of the change orders to exceed the $1 million threshold pursuant to section 451(b) of the District of Columbia Home Rule Act, approved December 24, 1973 (87 Stat. 803; D.C. Official Code § 1-204.51(b)).

(d) In addition, Change Order No. 004 will cause Contract No. DCAM-15-CS-0112 to become a multiyear contract that requires Council approval pursuant to section 451(c) of the District of Columbia Home Rule Act, approved December 24, 1973 (87 Stat. 803; D.C. Official Code § 1-204.51(c)).

(e)  Approval of Change Order Nos. 001 through 004 in the aggregate amount of $2,465,608.64 is necessary to compensate District Veterans Contracting Inc. for work completed and to be completed pursuant to the change orders. 

 

            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 Change Order Nos. 001 through 004 to Contract No. DCAM-15-CS-0112 Approval and Payment Authorization Emergency Act of 2016 be adopted after a single reading.

 

            Sec. 4.  This resolution shall take effect immediately.
