Bill > B26-0231

This bill approves three modifications (M0001, M0002, and M0003) to an existing contract with La Clínica del Pueblo, Inc. (a local healthcare provider), and authorizes payment up to $1.6 million for goods and services already received and to be received under the contract. The bill is being enacted under an emergency basis, which allows it to bypass certain standard procurement practices outlined in the Procurement Practices Reform Act. Specifically, the bill is authorized under section 451 of the District of Columbia Home Rule Act, which gives the Council special legislative powers. The act will take effect upon mayoral approval (or Council override of a potential mayoral veto) and will remain in effect for a maximum of 90 days, which is typical for emergency legislation. The Council has also adopted the fiscal impact statement from the Chief Financial Officer, indicating that the financial implications of the contract modifications have been reviewed and deemed acceptable.
