A RESOLUTION

                                                        

20- 290 

 

IN THE COUNCIL OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA

 

September 17, 2013

 

 

To declare the existence of an emergency with respect to the need to approve Modifications No. 001 and 002 to Contract No. CW15543 to provide snow and ice removal services and to authorize payment for services received and to be received under that contract.

 

            RESOLVED, BY THE COUNCIL OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, That this resolution may be cited as the “Modifications No. 001 and 002 to Contract No. CW15543 Approval and Payment Authorization Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2013”.

 

Sec. 2. (a)  There exists an immediate need to approve the modification to the contract with Capitol Paving of D.C., Inc., to provide snow and ice removal services and to authorize payment for services received and to be received under that contract. 

(b)  On July 31, 2013, the Office of Contracting and Procurement (“OCP”) exercised a partial option on the contract with Capitol Paving of DC, Inc. for the period of August 1, 2013 through October 31, 2013.  The estimated amount of the contract for the partial option period was to not exceed $900,000.00.

(c)  Council approval is necessary since the anticipated contract amount for the full option period (August 1, 2013 through July 31, 2014) is an estimated amount of $2,183,800.00.

(d)  Council approval is necessary to allow the continuation of these vital services.  Without Council approval, the District would not have resources available to clear snow and ice from roadways in the National Highway System during a snow event.

 

 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 Modifications No. 001 and 002 to Contract No. CW15543 Approval and Payment Authorization Emergency Act of 2013 be adopted after a single reading.

 

Sec. 4.  This resolution shall take effect immediately.
