Bill > PR26-0249

This emergency resolution declares the need to approve Modification Nos. M10 and M11 to a telecommunications services contract with Verizon Communications for the District of Columbia government. The modifications involve partially exercising option year 3 of the contract, with Modification M10 authorizing $983,547.48 for the period from April 29, 2025, through August 29, 2025, and Modification M11 increasing the contract value by an additional $1,967,094.96 to cover the period from August 30, 2025, through April 28, 2026. Council approval is necessary because the modifications increase the contract value by more than $1 million within a 12-month period, and without this approval, Verizon Communications cannot be paid for goods and services provided during this time. The resolution determines that these circumstances constitute an emergency, allowing the act to be adopted after a single reading, and the resolution will take effect immediately upon passage.
