The resolution declares an emergency regarding the need to approve three modifications to Contract No. CW116019 with Immediate Mailing Services, Inc., which provides essential printing and mailing services for the District of Columbia Access System. The contract, initially executed on May 28, 2024, has undergone several modifications that have increased its not-to-exceed (NTE) amount significantly, necessitating Council approval due to the total value exceeding $1 million within a 12-month period. The modifications include extending the contract period and increasing the funding to ensure the continuation of these vital services.

The Council recognizes the urgency of this situation, as the approval of these modifications is critical for the payment of goods and services already received and to be received under the contract. The resolution allows for immediate action, enabling the Council to adopt the necessary modifications after a single reading, thereby ensuring that Immediate Mailing Services, Inc. can be compensated for their services without interruption. The resolution is set to take effect immediately upon adoption.
