RESOLVED, BY THE COUNCIL OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, That this resolution may be cited as the “Contract DCPL-2009-C-0015C Modification Approval and Payment Authorization Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2013”.

(c)   On July 12, 2012, by Modification No. 1; on October 3, 2012 by Modification No. 2; and Modification No. 3, dated March 1, 2013, the  public library’s procurement office  increased the contract ceiling for the contract period of January 17, 2011, to December 31, 2013, by $1,070,463.97, from $12,933,685.00 to a new contract amount of $14,004,148.97.
