Bill > B26-0357

This bill approves three modifications to a contract between the Not-for-Profit Hospital Corporation (commonly known as United Medical Center) and Morrison Management Specialists, Inc., for food and nutrition management services. The bill specifically authorizes payment for services already received and to be received under the contract, with a total amount not to exceed $1,144,733. The bill is being enacted under emergency provisions, which means it will be in effect for no more than 90 days, and it bypasses certain standard procurement practice requirements. The Council is approving these contract modifications pursuant to the District of Columbia Home Rule Act and notwithstanding the usual procurement regulations. The bill also adopts the fiscal impact statement from the Chief Financial Officer and will take effect upon mayoral approval (or Council override of a potential mayoral veto). This emergency legislation appears aimed at ensuring continuity of essential food services at the United Medical Center by quickly approving and funding contract modifications.
