A RESOLUTION

 

20-147 

 

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 Nos. 1 through 3 to the Contract for Design-Build Services for the Phase 1 Modernization of Nalle Elementary School between the District of Columbia government and Forrester Construction Company, Contract No. DCAM-12-M-1031G-FM, and to authorize payment to Forrester Construction Company in the amount of $1,815,828.23 for the goods and services received under these change orders.

 

 

            RESOLVED, BY THE COUNCIL OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, That this resolution may be cited as the “Change Orders Nos. 1 through 3 to Contract No. DCAM-12-M-1031G-FM Approval and Payment Authorization Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2013”.

 

            Sec. 2.(a)  There exists an immediate need to approve Change Orders Nos. 1 through 3 to Contract No. DCAM-12-M-1031G-FM for design-build services, additional project scope, outstanding change requests, and the close-out of the Phase 1 project at Nalle Elementary School and to authorize payment in the aggregate amount of $1,815,828.23 for the goods and services received under these change orders.    

            (b)  The Council of the District of Columbia previously approved Contract No. DCAM-12-M-1031G-FM (CA 19-0387) with a guaranteed maximum price (“GMP”) of $6,837,819.   Change Order No. 1 in the amount of $386,442.30 and Change Order No. 2 in the amount of $536,975 were subsequently issued with an aggregate increase of less than $1 million; thus, Council approval was not required at that time.  Change Order No. 3, in the amount of $892,410.93, will increase the aggregate contract value by an amount over $1 million pursuant to D.C. Official Code § 1-204.51; hence, Council approval is required.

            (c) Approval of Change Orders Nos. 1 through 3 in the aggregate amount of $1,815,828.23 is necessary to compensate Forrester Construction Company for work completed at Nalle Elementary 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 Nos. 1 through 3 to Contract No. DCAM-12-M-1031G-FM Approval and Payment Authorization Emergency Act of 2013 be adopted after a single reading.

 

            Sec. 4.  This resolution shall take effect immediately.
