The proposed bill seeks the Council of the District of Columbia's approval for a sole source contract with Rivian, LLC, valued at $3,466,425. This contract will enable the District Department of Transportation (DDOT) to procure electric pickup trucks for daily operations and a larger electric vehicle for emergency personnel transport. The contract is set for a one-year term, and Rivian, LLC is identified as the only firm capable of meeting the District's specifications for these electric vehicles, following unsuccessful competitive procurement attempts.

Additionally, the bill includes a certification that the contract is within the appropriated budget authority for the agency for the fiscal year and is consistent with the financial plan. The Office of the Attorney General has reviewed the contract for legal sufficiency, confirming that Rivian, LLC has no pending legal claims against the District. Furthermore, the District Department of Small and Local Business Development has granted a waiver to the subcontracting requirement, eliminating the need for a subcontracting plan.
