                   IN THE COUNCIL OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA

                                           July 9, 2024

To declare the existence of an emergency with respect to the need to approve Contract No.

       CW77783 with Lamont Homes, Inc., and Modification Nos. 9, 10, 11, and 12 to Contract

       No. CW77783, and to authorize payment for the goods and 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 “Contract No. CW77783 with Lamont Homes, Inc. Approval and

Payment Authorization Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2024”.

        Sec. 2. (a) There exists an immediate need to approve Contract No. CW77783 with

Lamont Homes, Inc., and Modification Nos. 9, 10, 11, and 12 and to authorize payment for the

goods and services received and to be received under the contract.

        (b) On November 30, 2023, by Modification No. 9, the Office of Contracting and

Procurement (“OCP”), on behalf of the Department of Behavioral Health, exercised option year

4 of Contract No. CW77783 for the period December 1, 2023 through February 28, 2024, in the

not-to-exceed amount of $252,981.90.

        (c) By Modification No. 10, dated February 28, 2024, OCP increased the not-to-exceed

amount to $813,977.20.

        (d) By Modification No. 11, dated May 20, 2024, OCP increased the not-to-exceed

amount to $950,000.10.

        (e) Modification No. 12 will increase the not-to-exceed amount to $1,225,990.20.

        (f) Council approval is required because the modifications will increase the value of the

contract by more than $1 million during a 12-month period.

        (g) Approval is necessary to allow the continuation of these vital services. Without this

approval, Lamont Homes, Inc. cannot be paid for goods and services provided in excess of $1

million for the period December 1, 2023 through November 30, 2024.

        Sec. 3. The Council determines that the circumstances enumerated in section 2 constitute

emergency circumstances making it necessary that the Contract No. CW77783 with Lamont

Homes, Inc. Approval and Payment Authorization Emergency Act of 2024 be adopted after a

single reading.

       Sec. 4. This resolution shall take effect immediately.
