To declare the existence of an emergency with respect to the need to approve Change Orders Nos. 002 and 003 to Contract No. DCAM-14-CS-0069 with Broughton Construction Company, LLC for design-build services for the Stuart Hobson Middle School modernization and expansion, and to authorize payment for the goods and services received and 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 Nos. 002 and 003 to Contract No. DCAM-14-CS-0069 Approval and Payment Authorization Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2015”.

 

            Sec. 2. (a)  There exists an immediate need to approve Change Orders Nos. 002 and 003 to Contract No. DCAM-14-CS-0069 with Broughton Construction Company, LLC for design-build services for the Stuart Hobson Middle School modernization and expansion, and to authorize payment in the aggregate amount of $3,022,172.63 for the goods and services received and to be received under these change orders. 

            (b)  The underlying Contract No. DCAM-14-CS-0069 was competitively bid, awarded to Broughton Construction Company, LLC, and approved by the Council in CA20-0300 with a Lump Sum Price of $16,833,306.  Thereafter, the Department of General Services issued Change Order No. 001, which had a value of $1,525,258.57, was submitted to and approved by the Council in CA20-0355.  Subsequently, the Department issued Change Order No. 002 which was in an amount under $1 million and thus did not require Council approval. 

            (c) Change Order No. 003 will cause the aggregate value of Change Orders Nos. 002 and 003 to exceed the $1 million threshold set forth in 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 Nos. 002 and 003 to Contract No. DCAM-14-CS-0069 is necessary to compensate Broughton Construction Company, LLC for work performed and to be performed under these 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 Orders Nos. 002 and 003 to Contract No. DCAM-14-CS-0069 Approval and Payment Authorization Emergency Act of 2015 be adopted after a single reading.

            Sec. 4.  This resolution shall take effect immediately.
