The resolution, titled the "Contract No. CW122630 with Patriot Harley Davidson Approval and Payment Authorization Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2025," addresses an urgent need for the Council of the District of Columbia to approve a contract with Patriot Harley Davidson. This contract, executed on December 11, 2024, by the Office of Contracting and Procurement on behalf of the Metropolitan Police Department, involves the purchase of 30 to 35 police motorcycles with side cars, totaling a maximum amount of $1,686,086.89. Due to the contract's value exceeding $1 million, Council approval is required under the District of Columbia Home Rule Act.

The resolution emphasizes the necessity of emergency legislation to facilitate timely payment for the goods and services provided under this contract. Without the Council's approval, Patriot Harley Davidson would be unable to receive payment for the services rendered from December 11, 2024, to December 10, 2025. The Council has determined that the circumstances warrant immediate action, allowing the resolution to be adopted after a single reading and taking effect immediately.
