            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. 001 through 004 to Contract No. DCAM-14-CS-0095A Approval and Payment Authorization Emergency Act of 2015 be adopted after a single reading.
