To declare the existence of an emergency with respect to the need to approve the payment of $6,431,331.27 to definitized Task Order No. DCKA-2013-T-0006 with Alta Bicycle Share, Inc., and to authorize payment for services received and to be received under the contract.

 

RESOLVED, BY THE COUNCIL OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, That this resolution may be cited as the “Task Order No. DCKA-2013-T-0006 Approval and Payment Authorization Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2013”.

 

Sec. 2.   (a) There exists an immediate need to approve definitized Task Order No. DCKA-2013-T-0006 to provide Bikeshare services to the District Department of Transportation (“DDOT”) and to authorize payment for services received and to be received under this contract.

(b) On December 21, 2012, DDOT’s Office of Contracting and Procurement (“OCP”) awarded a letter contract to Alta Bicycle Share, Inc. for $768,536.24 for equipment, maintenance operation, and services for the District’s Bikeshare program.  Six modifications have been issued to the letter contract, extending it from February 21, 2013 to July 22, 2013, in the total amount of $2,929,884.86, including the amount of $286,950.00 for 5 additional bike stations throughout the District.

            (c)  By proposed definitized task order, OCP seeks approval of the modifications to the letter contract and prospective approval of an increase in funding for the task order by an additional $3,438,446.41.  The definitized task order, including all modifications to the letter contract, increases the total amount of the task order to $6,431,331.27.

(d)  Council approval is necessary because this definitized task order increases the contract to more than $1 million during a 12-month period.  Council approval is necessary to allow the continuation of these vital services and to allow Alta to be paid for the full amount of the services needed.

 

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 Task Order No. DCKA-2013-T-0006 Approval and Payment Authorization Emergency Act of 2013 be adopted after a single reading.

 

Sec. 4. This resolution shall take effect immediately.
