A RESOLUTION

 

20-508

 

IN THE COUNCIL OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA

 

June 3, 2014

 

To declare the existence of an emergency with respect to the need to approve Modification Nos. 12 and 13 to Contract No. DCKA-2009-C-0123 with C&D Tree Services, Inc., and to authorize payment for services received and to be received under the contract.

 

RESOLVED, BY THE COUNCIL OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, That this resolution may be cited as the “Contract No. DCKA-2009-C-0123 Modification Nos. 12 and 13 Approval and Payment Authorization Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2014”.

 

Sec. 2.   (a) There exists an immediate need to approve Modification Nos. 12 and 13 to Contract No. DCKA-2009-C-0123 with C&D Tree Services, Inc. (“C&D”) for tree removal services provided to the District Department of Transportation (“DDOT”) and to authorize payment for services received and to be received under this contract.

(b) On February 4, 2014, DDOT’s Office of Contracting and Procurement (“OCP”) partially executed Option Year 4 from February 9, 2014, through March 10, 2014, for $400,000.00 for tree removal services.  On March 11, 2014, DDOT’s OCP executed Modification No.13, which executed the remainder of Option Year 4, extending the contract performance period from March 11, 2014, through February 8, 2015. There have been 9 modifications to the contract.

            (c)  Through proposed Modification Nos. 12 and 13, DDOT seeks Council approval to exercise Option Year 4 for a contract amount of $1,051,200.00.  

(d)  Council approval is necessary because these modifications increase the contract by more than $1 million during a 12-month period.  Approval is also necessary to allow the continuation of these vital services and to allow C&D to continue performance under the contract.

 

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 Contract No. DCKA-2009-C-0123 Modification Nos. 12 and 13 Approval and Payment Authorization Emergency Act of 2014 be adopted after a single reading.

 

Sec. 4. This resolution shall take effect immediately.
