IN THE COUNCIL OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA

 

June 4, 2013

 

To declare the existence of an emergency with respect to the need to approve Change Orders No. 005 through No. 009 to the Contract for design-build services for the new Dunbar Senior High School between the District of Columbia government and Smoot/Gilbane, A Joint Venture, Contract No. GM-11-M-0531-FM, and to authorize payment to Smoot/Gilbane, A Joint Venture, in the aggregate amount of $5,357,569.14 for the goods and services to be received under these change orders.

 

            RESOLVED, BY THE COUNCIL OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, That this resolution may be cited as the “Change Orders No. 005 through No. 009 to Contract No. GM-11-M-0531-FM Approval and Payment Authorization Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2013”.

 

            Sec. 2.(a)  There exists an immediate need to approve Change Orders No. 005 through No. 009 to Contract No. GM-11-M-0531-FM for design-build services and additional project scope at the new Dunbar Senior High School in the aggregate amount of $5,257,569.14 and to authorize payment for the goods and services to be received under these change orders. 

            (b)  The Council of the District of Columbia previously approved Contract No. GM-11-M-0531-FM (CA 19-0213), GMP Amendment Change Order No. 001 (CA 19-0310), and Change Order No. 004 (CA 19-0457). The aggregate value of Change Orders No. 005 through No. 008 was under $1 million; thus, these change orders did not require Council approval.

            (c) Change Order No. 009 will cause the aggregate value of the change orders issued to exceed the $1 million threshold pursuant to section 451 of the District of Columbia Home Rule Act, approved December 24, 1973 (87 Stat. 803; D.C. Official Code § 1-204.51).

(d)  Approval of Change Orders No. 005 through No. 009 in the aggregate amount of $5,357,569.14 is necessary to compensate Smoot/Gilbane, A Joint Venture, for work to be completed at the new Dunbar Senior High School.

 

            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 Orders No. 005 through No. 009 to Contract No. GM-11-M-0531-FM Approval and Payment Authorization Emergency Act of 2013 be adopted after a single reading.

 

            Sec. 4.  This resolution shall take effect immediately.
