Bill > PR26-0089

This resolution declares an emergency to approve multiple contract modifications with Jerome L. Taylor Trucking, Inc. for waste collection and disposal services, authorizing payment for services provided through September 30, 2025. The modifications (M02, M03, M04, and M05) incrementally extend the contract's option year one, with Modification M05 increasing the not-to-exceed (NTE) contract amount by $3,175,966.98 to a total of $4,113,054.36. The Department of General Services (DGS) partially exercised the first option year on September 11, 2024, and subsequently extended the contract period multiple times, with Council approval now necessary because the contract value will exceed $1 million during a 12-month period. The resolution emphasizes the critical nature of these waste collection services and states that without Council approval, the contractor cannot be paid for goods and services provided. The Council determines these circumstances constitute an emergency, allowing the resolution to be adopted after a single reading and take effect immediately.
