Bill > B26-0033

This bill approves an emergency contract with Patriot Harley Davidson and authorizes payment of up to $1,686,086.89 for goods and services. The legislation bypasses certain standard procurement requirements under the Procurement Practices Reform Act by invoking section 451 of the District of Columbia Home Rule Act, which allows for exceptions to typical purchasing procedures. The bill is structured as an emergency act, meaning it will only remain in effect for 90 days and requires approval from both the Council and the Mayor. The Council has also adopted the fiscal impact statement from the Chief Financial Officer, which assesses the financial implications of the contract. This emergency authorization suggests there may be urgent or time-sensitive needs related to the goods or services being purchased from Patriot Harley Davidson, though the specific details of those needs are not elaborated in the bill text.
