                   IN THE COUNCIL OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA

                                          July 7, 2020

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

       DCAM-20-CS-RFP-0005 between the Department of General Services and GCS-

       SIGAL|GRUNLEY Joint Venture, increasing the amount of the Contract to $25 million,

       and to authorize payment to GCS-SIGAL|GRUNLEY Joint Venture for design-build

       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. DCAM-20-CS-RFP-0005 with GCS-

SIGAL|GRUNLEY Joint Venture Approval and Payment Authorization Emergency Declaration

Resolution of 2020.

        Sec. 2.(a) There exists an immediate need to approve the Design-Build Agreement for

Redevelopment of the St. Elizabeths East Campus  Parcel 6 Parking Garage (DCAM-20-CS-

RFP-0005) (Contract) between the Department of General Services (Department) and GCS-

SIGAL|GRUNLEY Joint Venture (Contractor) and to authorize payment in an aggregate

amount of $25 million for design-build services received and to be received under the Contract.

        (b) On May 8, 2020, the Department executed a letter contract in the amount of

$950,000. The value of letter contract was less than $1 million; thus, it did not require Council

approval. The amount of the proposed contract would increase by $ 24.05 million from $950,000

to $ 25 million.

        (c) The amount of the proposed Contract, inclusive of the merged letter contract, is in

excess of $1 million during a 12-month period; therefore, Council approval of the Contract is

now required pursuant to 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) Council approval of the Contract is necessary to authorize the continuation of design-

build services for the St. Elizabeths Parking Garage and to compensate the Contractor for design-

build services provided and to be provided 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

Contract No. DCAM-20-CS-RFP-0005 with. GCS-SIGAL|GRUNLEY Joint Venture Approval

and Payment Authorization Emergency Act of 2020 be adopted after a single reading.
