The resolution, titled the "Contract No. CW117574 with Compost Crew, Inc. A Benefit Corporation Approval and Payment Authorization Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2025," addresses the urgent need for the District of Columbia Council to approve a contract with Compost Crew, Inc. This contract, originally awarded on July 19, 2024, supports organic waste collection from residential households and has undergone several modifications to extend its performance period and increase its budget. The current not-to-exceed amount for the contract is proposed to be $4,122,574, covering the period from July 19, 2024, to July 18, 2025.

The resolution emphasizes the necessity of Council approval due to the contract's value exceeding $1 million, which is required under the District's procurement laws. It also states that without this approval, Compost Crew, Inc. cannot be compensated for the services rendered beyond the $1 million threshold. The Council has determined that the circumstances warrant an emergency declaration, allowing the resolution to be adopted after a single reading and taking effect immediately to ensure the continuation of essential waste collection services.
