Bill > B26-0169

This bill approves six modifications to an existing contract (Contract No. CW101231) with Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Washington, despite typical procurement regulations. The Council is authorizing payment of up to $1,724,935.32 for goods and services already received or to be received under the contract, using emergency legislative procedures. The bill invokes a special provision under the District of Columbia Home Rule Act that allows the Council to approve contracts outside standard procurement practices. The act will take effect upon mayoral approval (or Council veto override) and is valid for a limited emergency period of 90 days. The Chief Financial Officer's fiscal impact statement has been adopted, indicating the bill has been reviewed for its budgetary implications. This emergency legislation suggests there may be urgent or time-sensitive services being provided by Catholic Charities that necessitate expedited contract modifications.
