RESOLVED, BY THE COUNCIL OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, That this

Sec. 2. (a) There exists an immediate need to approve Contract No. DCHBX-2014-COOO1 with NFP Health Services Administration, LLC ("NFP"), and to authorize payment for the services received and to be received under that contract.
(b) On November 27, 2013, the District of Columbia Health Benefit Exchange Authority ("DCHBX") entered into a contract with NFP to provide premium billing services in an amount not to exceed $1,250,000.
(c) On May 15, 2014, the DCHBX Board of Directors approved a further increase to the contract ceiling amount to $1,500,000.
(d) On June 17, 2014, DCHBX executed a contract modification to increase the contract ceiling amount to $1,500,000
(e) Council approval is necessary because the anticipated contract value is more than
$1,000,000 during a 12-month period.
