Bill > B26-0528

This bill approves two modifications to a construction contract between the District of Columbia and Smoot Construction Company, specifically Contract No. DCAM-22-CS-RFP-0019. Despite potential procurement practice requirements, the Council is authorizing payment of up to $61,462,436 for goods and services already received and anticipated under the contract. The bill is being enacted under an emergency provision of the District of Columbia Home Rule Act, which means it will take effect immediately after mayoral approval and remain in force for up to 90 days. The bill also adopts the fiscal impact statement prepared by the Chief Financial Officer, indicating that the financial implications of the contract modifications have been reviewed. This emergency act allows the District to quickly proceed with the contract modifications without going through standard, potentially time-consuming procurement procedures.
