Bill > B26-0295

This bill approves two modifications (M10 and M11) to an existing contract (Contract No. CW94742) with Verizon Communications, despite some standard procurement requirements. The bill specifically authorizes payment of up to $2,950,642.44 for goods and services already received and expected to be received under the contract. The approval is being done through an emergency act under the District of Columbia Home Rule Act, which means the legislation will only be in effect for 90 days. The bill was enacted by the Council of the District of Columbia and will take effect after mayoral approval (or after a Council override of a potential mayoral veto). The Council also adopts the fiscal impact statement prepared by the Chief Financial Officer, which assesses the financial implications of the contract modifications. This type of emergency legislation is typically used when there is an urgent need to approve a contract or take immediate legislative action that cannot wait for the standard legislative process.
