Bill > B26-0506

This bill approves two modifications (M0002 and M0003) to an existing contract with Brandywine Valley SPCA for providing comprehensive animal control services in the District of Columbia. Specifically, the bill authorizes payment of up to $8,173,916 for services including operating the District's animal shelter and animal disease prevention services, covering the period from October 29, 2025, through September 30, 2026. The bill bypasses certain standard procurement requirements under the Procurement Practices Reform Act, using emergency legislative procedures permitted by the District of Columbia Home Rule Act. The legislation will take effect upon mayoral approval (or Council override of a potential mayoral veto) and will remain in effect for a maximum of 90 days, which is typical for emergency acts. The Council has also adopted the fiscal impact statement from the Chief Financial Officer, indicating that the financial implications of the contract modifications have been reviewed and deemed acceptable.
