A RESOLUTION

 

20-291

 

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 Modification No. 1 to Contract No. DCKA-2013-C-0137 with Xerox State and Local Solutions, 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 “Modification No. 1 to Contract No. DCKA-2013-C-0137 Approval and Payment Authorization Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2013”.

 

Sec. 2.   (a) There exists an immediate need to approve Modification No. 1 to Contract No. DCKA-2013-C-0137 for parking meter management services to the District Department of Transportation (“DDOT”) and to authorize payment for services received and to be received under this contract.

(b) On July 1, 2013, DDOT’s Office of Contracting and Procurement awarded a 2-month sole source contract (DCKA-2013-C-0137) to Xerox State and Local Solutions, Inc. (“Xerox”) for parking meter management services.  The District seeks Council approval of Modification No. 1 which increased the funding to $1.8 million and extended the contract to November 1, 2013.  DDOT has attempted to provide a replacement contract for a base year with 4 one-year options, but this contract has been stayed by a protest filed before the District’s Contract Appeals Board (“CAB”) on September 24, 2012.  Although the CAB issued a decision in the protest on June 28, 2013, the decision has been appealed by the D.C. Court of Appeals.   

            (c)  Council approval is necessary because this modification increases the contract by more than $1 million during a 12-month period.  Council approval is also necessary to allow the continuation of these vital services and to allow Xerox to continue performance under the contract.

 

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 Modification No. 1 to Contract No. DCKA-2013-C-0137 Approval and Payment Authorization Emergency Act of 2013 be adopted after a single reading.

 

Sec. 4. This resolution shall take effect immediately.
