RESOLVED, BY THE COUNCIL OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, That this resolution may be cited as the “Contract No. CW40550 Approval and Payment Authorization Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2016”.

 

Sec. 2. (a)  There exists an immediate need to approve Contract No. CW40550 with Riva Modeling Systems, Inc., to provide information technology services supporting the Asset Management Program, including Modification No. 0001 to that contract, and to authorize payment in the total amount of $1,395,000 for the goods and services received and to be received under the contract as modified by Modification No. 0001.

(b)  On December 4, 2015, the Office of Contracting and Procurement awarded Contract No. CW40550 to Riva Modeling Systems, Inc. to provide information technology services supporting the Asset Management Program for the period from December 4, 2015 to December 3, 2016 in the amount of $880,000.00. 

(c)  Modification No. 0001 proposes to increase the total amount of the contract to $1,395,000.00 during that same 12-month period.

(d)  Council approval of Contract No. CW40550 and Modification No. 0001 to the contract is required 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), because they involve the expenditure of more than $1,000,000 during a 12-month period.

 (e)  Approval of Contract No. CW40550 and Modification No. 0001 to the contract, is necessary to allow the continuation of these vital services.  Without this approval, Riva Modeling Systems, Inc., cannot be paid for services provided in excess of $1 million during the contract period from December 4, 2015 through December 3, 2016.

 

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. CW40550 Approval and Payment Authorization Emergency Act of 2016 be adopted after a single reading.

 

Sec. 4.  This resolution shall take effect immediately.
