Bill > B26-0343

This bill approves an emergency contract (Contract No. DCRL-2024-C-0051) with The Hospital for Sick Children Pediatric Center, authorizing payment of up to $3,663,625.74 for goods and services. The bill bypasses standard procurement practices under the Procurement Practices Reform Act by using provisions of the District of Columbia Home Rule Act, which allows the Council to approve contracts in special circumstances. The contract is approved on an emergency basis, meaning it will only remain in effect for 90 days, as permitted by the Home Rule Act. The bill also adopts the fiscal impact statement from the Chief Financial Officer, which assesses the financial implications of the contract. After approval by the Mayor (or potential veto override by the Council), the act will become effective immediately and expire within 90 days, consistent with the emergency act provisions of the District of Columbia Home Rule Act.
