Bill > PR26-0292

This resolution declares an emergency to approve Contract No. DCRL-2024-C-0051 with The Hospital for Sick Children Pediatric Center for providing in-patient respite care services for medically fragile youth under the Child and Family Services Agency (CFSA). The contract was initially executed on August 20, 2024, with a starting not-to-exceed amount of $900,277.20, and subsequently underwent multiple modifications that extended its performance period and adjusted the contract value. Through subsequent letter contracts and modifications, the total not-to-exceed amount increased to $3,663,625.74, covering services through August 19, 2025. Council approval is specifically required because the contract's value exceeds $1 million during a 12-month period, and without this approval, the hospital cannot be paid for services provided. The resolution determines that the described circumstances constitute an emergency necessitating adoption after a single reading, and it will take effect immediately upon passage, ensuring the continuation of vital services for vulnerable youth.
