IN THE COUNCIL OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA

 

June 7, 2016        

 

 

To declare the existence of an emergency with respect to the need to approve Contract Nos. DCHT-2015-C-0003, DCHT-2016-C-0003, and DCHT-2016-C-0008, and Modification Nos. 1 and 2 to Contract No. DCHT-2016-C-0003 with Universal Home Healthcare, Inc. to provide temporary staffing services for Personal Care Assistance to meet the needs of District Medicaid beneficiaries for the Department of Healthcare Finance and to authorize payment for the services received and to be received under these contracts and modifications.

 

RESOLVED, BY THE COUNCIL OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, That this resolution may be cited as the “Contract Nos. DCHT-2015-C-0003, DCHT-2016-C-0003, and DCHT-2016-C-0008 Modification Approval and Payment Authorization Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2016”.

 

Sec. 2. (a)  There exists an immediate need to approve Contract Nos. DCHT-2015-C-0003, DCHT-2016-C-0003, and DCHT-2016-C-0008, and Modification Nos. 1 and 2 to Contract No. DCHT-2016-C-0003 with Universal Home Healthcare, Inc. to provide temporary staffing services for Personal Care Assistance to meet the needs of District Medicaid beneficiaries for the Department of Healthcare Finance (“DHCF”) and to authorize payment for the services received and to be received under these contracts and modifications.

            (b)  The Office of Contracting and Procurement (“OCP”), on behalf of DHCF, entered into Contract Nos. DCHT-2015-C-0003, DCHT-2016-C-0003, and DCHT-2016-C-0008, in the aggregate amount of $990,000 for the combined period from October 2, 2015, through September 30, 2016.

(c) OCP now proposes Modification No. 2 to Contract No. DCHT-2016-C-0003 to increase the amount of Contract DCHT-2016-C-0003 by $475,000, increasing Contract Nos.  DCHT-2015-C-0003, DCHT-2016-C-0003, and DCHT-2016-C-0008 to the not to exceed amount of $1,465,000.

(d)  Council approval is necessary since this modification increases the aggregate contract amount for Contract Nos. DCHT-2015-C-0003, DCHT-2016-C-0003, and DCHT-2016-C-0008 to more than $1 million during a 12-month period.

(e)  Approval is necessary to allow the continuation of these vital services.  Without this approval, Universal Home Healthcare, Inc., cannot be paid for services provided in excess of $1 million.

 

 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 Nos. DCHT-2015-C-0003, DCHT-2016-C-0003, and DCHT-2016-C-0008 Modification Approval and Payment Authorization Emergency Act of 2016 be adopted after a single reading.

 

Sec. 4.  This resolution shall take effect immediately.
