A RESOLUTION

 

20-152 

 

IN THE COUNCIL OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA

 

June 18, 2013

 

 

To declare the existence of an emergency with respect to the need to approve Change Orders No. 001 through No. 005 to Contract No. DCAM-12-M-1031K-FM between the District of Columbia government and Whiting-Turner Contracting Company for design-build services for Stuart Hobson Middle School, and to authorize payment to Whiting-Turner Contracting Company in the aggregate amount of $1,299,135 for the goods and services 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 Orders No. 001 through No. 005 to Contract No. DCAM-12-M-1031K-FM Approval and Payment Authorization Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2013”.

 

            Sec. 2.(a)  There exists an immediate need to approve Change Orders No. 001 through No. 005 to Contract No. DCAM-12-M-1031K-FM for design-build services and additional project scope as part of the Phase 1 modernization at Stuart Hobson Middle School in the aggregate amount of $1,299,135 and to authorize payment for the goods and services to be received under these change orders. 

            (b)  The Council of the District of Columbia previously approved Contract No. DCAM-12-M-1031K-FM (CA19-0366).  The aggregate value of Change Orders No. 001 through No. 004 was under $1 million; thus, these change orders did not require Council approval.

            (c) Change Order No. 005 will cause the aggregate value of change orders issued to exceed $1 million; thus, Council approval 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).

(d)  Approval of Change Orders No. 001 through No. 005 in the aggregate amount of $1,299,135 is necessary to authorize Whiting-Turner Contracting Company to proceed with the additional scope work at Stuart Hobson Middle School.    

 

           

 

 

 

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 Orders No. 001 through No. 005 to Contract No. DCAM-12-M-1031K-FM Approval and Payment Authorization Emergency Act of 2013 be adopted after a single reading.

 

            Sec. 4.  This resolution shall take effect immediately.
