21-142 

 

IN THE COUNCIL OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA

 

June 30, 2015

 

 

To declare the existence of an emergency with respect to the need to approve Change Order Nos. 002 through 004 to Contract No. DCAM-14-CS-0104 with GCS, Inc., for design-build services for the St. Elizabeths Chapel renovation, and to authorize payment in the aggregate amount of $1,177,427 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. 002 through 004 to Contract No. DCAM-14-CS-0104 Approval and Payment Authorization Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2015”.

 

            Sec. 2. (a)  There exists an immediate need to approve Change Order Nos. 002 through 004 to Contract No. DCAM-14-CS-0104 for design-build services for the St. Elizabeths Chapel renovation, and to authorize payment in the aggregate amount of $1,177,427 for the goods and services received and to be received under these change orders. 

            (b)  Contract No. DCAM-14-CS-0104 was previously approved by the Council (CA20-0310) and Change Order No. 001 was also approved by the Council (CA20-0423). Thereafter, the Department of General Services issued Change Order No. 002 ($45,124) and Change Order No. 003 ($171,520).  The aggregate value of these change orders was less than $1 million; thus, Change Order Nos. 002 and 003 did not require Council approval.

            (c) Change Order No. 004 ($960,783) will cause the aggregate value of the change orders issued, after the Council’s last approval of Change Order No. 001, to exceed the $1 million threshold 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. 002 through 004 in the aggregate amount of $1,177,427 is necessary to compensate GCS, Inc., for work completed and to be completed pursuant to Change Order Nos. 002 through 004 to Contract No. DCAM-14-CS-0104 for design-build services for the St. Elizabeths Chapel renovation. 

 

            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. 002 through 004 to Contract No. DCAM-14-CS-0104 Approval and Payment Authorization Emergency Act of 2015 be adopted after a single reading.

 

            Sec. 4.  This resolution shall take effect immediately.
