To declare the existence of an emergency with respect to the need to approve Change Orders Nos. 002 through 006 to Contract No. DCAM-13-CS-0136 with Smoot Gilbane II Joint Venture for design-build services for the Roosevelt High School modernization, 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 through 006 to Contract No. DCAM-13-CS-0136 Approval and Payment Authorization Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2015”.

 

            Sec. 2.(a)  There exists an immediate need to approve Change Orders Nos. 002 through 006 to Contract No. DCAM-13-CS-0136 with Smoot Gilbane II Joint Venture for design-build services for the Roosevelt High School modernization, and to authorize payment in the aggregate amount of $1,510,484 for the goods and services received and to be received under these change orders. 

            (b)  The underlying Contract DCAM-13-CS-0136 was approved by the Council in CA20-0277 and Change Order No. 001 to the Contract was approved by the Council in CA20-0424).  Thereafter, the Department of General Services issued Change Orders Nos. 002 through 005.  The aggregate value of these Change Orders was less than $1 million; thus, Change Orders Nos. 002 through 005 did not require Council approval.

            (c) Change Order No. 006 will cause the aggregate value of Change Orders Nos. 002 through 006 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 through 006 is necessary to compensate Smoot Gilbane II Joint Venture 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 through 006 to Contract No.  DCAM-13-CS-0136 Approval and Payment Authorization Emergency Act of 2015 be adopted after a single reading.

 

            Sec. 4.  This resolution shall take effect immediately.
