21-509

 

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 Change Order Nos. 007 through 012 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 Order Nos. 007 through 012 to Contract No. DCAM-13-CS-0136 Approval and Payment Authorization Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2016”.

 

            Sec. 2.(a)  There exists an immediate need to approve Change Order Nos. 007 through 012 to Contract No. DCAM-13-CS-0136 with Smoot Gilbane II Joint Venture for the modernization of Roosevelt High School in the aggregate amount of $1,737,232, and to authorize payment for the goods and services received and to be received under these change orders. 

            (b)  The underlying contract was previously approved by the Council (CA20-0277) and Change Order No. 001 was also approved by the Council (CA20-0424).  The Department of General Services then submitted, and the Council approved, Change Order No. 002 through Change Order No. 006.  Thereafter, the Department issued Change Order No. 007 ($0), Change Order No. 008 ($450,00), Change Order No. 009 ($0), Change Order No. 010 ($200,000), and Change Order No. 011 ($349,000). The aggregate value of these change orders was less than $1 million; thus, Change Orders Nos. 007 through 011 did not require Council approval.

            (c) Change Order No. 012 will cause the aggregate value of the change orders issued, after the Council’s last approval of Change Orders Nos. 002 through 006, to exceed $1,000,000 and require Council approval pursuant to 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 Order Nos. 007 through 012 is necessary to compensate Smoot Gilbane II Joint Venture for work completed and to be completed 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 Order Nos. 007 through 012 to Contract No.  DCAM-13-CS-0136 Approval and Payment Authorization Emergency Act of 2016 be adopted after a single reading.

 

            Sec. 4.  This resolution shall take effect immediately.
