This resolution declares an emergency to approve Contract No. CW117574 with Compost Crew, Inc., a benefit corporation, for organic waste collection services in the District of Columbia. The contract was initially awarded on July 19, 2024, for a period through November 19, 2024, with an original not-to-exceed amount of $1 million. The contract has since undergone four modifications, extending its performance period through January 31, 2025, and increasing the contract value to $1,560,274. The Office of Contracting and Procurement (OCP) now seeks to definitize the contract for the full period from July 19, 2024, through July 18, 2025, with a total not-to-exceed amount of $4,122,574. The resolution emphasizes the critical nature of these services and seeks Council approval, which is required under the District of Columbia Home Rule Act because the contract value exceeds $1 million during a 12-month period. The Council intends to authorize the contract's performance despite potential procurement practice limitations, ensuring that Compost Crew can be paid for its essential waste collection services without interruption.
