To declare the existence of an emergency with respect to the need to approve the Amendment for Partial Exercise of Option Year 002 to Contract No. DCAM-14-NC-0046B, and Change Order Nos. 001 through 006, inclusive, to that amendment with Kramer Consulting, P.C. to provide program management services for the Department of Parks and Recreation’s capital construction portfolio and to authorize payment in the aggregate not-to-exceed amount of $2,454,680 for the goods and services received and to be received during option year 2 of the contract.

 

            RESOLVED, BY THE COUNCIL OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, That this resolution may be cited as the “Amendment and Change Orders to Contract No. DCAM-14-NC-0046B Approval and Payment Authorization Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2016”.

 

            Sec. 2.  (a)  There exists an immediate need to approve the Amendment for Partial Exercise of Option Year 002 to Contract No. DCAM-14-NC-0046B, and Change Order Nos. 001 through 006, inclusive, to that Amendment with Kramer Consulting, P.C. to provide program management services for the Department of Parks and Recreation’s (the “Department’s”) capital construction portfolio and to authorize payment in the aggregate not-to-exceed amount of $2,454,680 for the goods and services received and to be received during option year 2 of the contract. 

            (b)  The Department awarded the underlying contract to Kramer to provide program management services for the Department’s capital construction portfolio, which was submitted to the Council and approved pursuant to CA20-0345.  Subsequently, the Department exercised the first of the 2 one-year options to extend the term of the contract; that action was also submitted to the Council and approved pursuant to CA21-0014.  Thereafter, the Department partially exercised the second of the 2 option years by issuing the Amendment for Partial Exercise of Option Year 002, which extended the contract term through November 15, 2015 and authorized the expenditure of an amount not to exceed $75,000.  Change Order No. 001 to the Amendment increased the not-to-exceed amount for option year 2 to $250,000.  Thereafter, Change Order Nos. 002 and 003 to the Amendment extended the contract term through February 15, 2016 and increased the not-to-exceed amount for option year 2 to $750,000, respectively.  Change Order No. 004 to the Amendment extended the contract term through March 31, 2016 and increased the not-to-exceed amount for option year 2 to $995,000.  Change Order No. 005 to the Amendment extended the contract term through May 15, 2016.  The aggregate contract amount of the Amendment for Partial Exercise of Option Year 002, and Change Order Nos. 001 through 005 to that Amendment, was $995,000; thus, Council approval was not required.    

            (c)  The Department now seeks to issue Change Order No. 006, which will extend the contract term through September 30, 2016, fully exercising option year 2, and increase the not-to-exceed amount of option year 2 to $2,454,680. 

(d)  Council approval of the Amendment for Partial Exercise of Option Year 002, and Change Order Nos. 001 through 006, inclusive, to that Amendment 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 the Amendment and the change orders will increase contract amount by more than $1,000,000 during a 12-month period.

(e)  Approval of the Amendment for Partial Exercise of Option Year 002, and Change Order Nos. 001 through 006, inclusive, to that Amendment is necessary to allow the continuation of these vital services.  Without this approval, Kramer Consulting, P.C. cannot be paid for services provided in excess of $1,000,000 during option year 2 of the contract, from October 1, 2015 to September 30, 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 Amendment and Change Orders to Contract No. DCAM-14-NC-0046B Approval and Payment Authorization Emergency Act of 2016 be adopted after a single reading.

 

            Sec. 4.  This resolution shall take effect immediately.
