To declare the existence of an emergency with respect to the need to approve Change Orders Nos. 001 through 003 to Contract No. DCAM-12-CS-0165 between the District of Columbia government and Prince Construction Company/W.M. Schlosser Company, Inc. JV, for the renovation and expansion of the inmate processing center at the DC Central Detention Facility, and to authorize payment to Prince Construction Company/W.M. Schlosser Company, Inc. JV, in the aggregate amount of $1,794,168 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 Orders Nos. 001 through 003 to Contract No. DCAM-12-CS-0165 Approval and Payment Authorization Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2014”.

 

            Sec. 2.(a)  There exists an immediate need to approve Change Orders Nos. 001 through 003 to Contract No. DCAM-12-CS-0165 for the renovation and expansion of the inmate Processing Center at the DC Central Detention Facility in the aggregate amount of $1,794,168 and to authorize payment for the goods and services received and to be received under these change orders. 

            (b)  The underlying contract was previously approved by the Council (CA19-0481).  Thereafter, the Department issued Change Order No. 001 with a value of $225,000 and Change Order No. 002 with a value of $766,068.  The value of these Change Orders was less than $1 million; thus, Change Orders Nos. 001 through 002 did not require Council approval.

            (c) Change Order No. 003 will cause the aggregate value of the change orders issued, after Council’s approval of the Contract, to exceed the $1 million threshold under 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 Orders Nos. 001 through 003 in the aggregate amount of $1,794,168 is necessary to compensate Prince Construction Company/W.M. Schlosser Company, Inc. JV, for work completed and to be completed pursuant to Change Orders Nos. 001 through 003 to Contract No. DCAM-12-CS-0165 for the renovation and expansion of the inmate processing center at the DC Central Detention Facility. 

 

 

            Sec. 3.  The Council of the District of Columbia determines that the circumstances enumerated in section 2 constitute emergency circumstances making it necessary that Change Orders Nos. 001 through 003 to Contract No.  DCAM-12-CS-0165 Approval and Payment Authorization Emergency Act of 2014 be adopted after a single reading.

 

            Sec. 4.  This resolution shall take effect immediately.
