            Council Chairman Phil Mendelson announces a public roundtable before the Committee of the Whole in regard to Bill 21-714, “Modifications to Contract Number CW25390 Approval and Payment Authorization Emergency Act of 2016.”  The roundtable will be held at 8:00 a.m. on Thursday, May 19, 2016 in the Council Chamber of the John A. Wilson Building. 

 

            The stated purpose of Bill 21-714 is to approve, on an emergency basis, Modifications M0004, M0005, and M0007, and proposed Modification M0008 to Contract Number CW25390 to provide school bus maintenance services and to authorize payment for the services received and to be received under the modification.  This contract for services relates to school bus maintenance for the Office of the State Superintendent for Education.  It was sent to the Council as a “tipping” action pursuant to Council rules.  An option year of the contract was previously exercised for less than $1 million, but because of changes, is now anticipated to go above $1 million.  This now requires approval of the option year – which is almost complete – retroactively by the Council.  Had the option year been exercised for the same amount as the base year, which was also increased over $1 million through a tipping action, it could have been sent to the Council for prospective passive approval last June.
