This resolution is an emergency approval for a five-year health benefits contract with Aetna Life Insurance Company and Aetna Health, Inc., valued at approximately $1.58 billion, which will provide fully insured health benefits to District of Columbia employees, their dependents, and retirees through the D.C. Employees Health Benefits Program. The resolution, submitted by Mayor Muriel Bowser on October 27, 2025, follows legal procedures outlined in the District of Columbia Home Rule Act and the Procurement Practices Reform Act, seeking Council approval for the contract. The document indicates that the Chief Financial Officer's fiscal impact statement has been adopted, and the resolution is designed to take effect immediately upon approval, with the goal of ensuring continuous health coverage for District government personnel. The Mayor has requested prompt and favorable action from the Council and made available contact information (specifically Marc Scott from the Office of Contracting and Procurement) to address any potential questions about the proposed contract.
