The resolution declares an emergency regarding the need to approve modifications to Contract No. CW108950 with Stormwater Maintenance, LLC, which is essential for the maintenance of over 3,000 District-owned green stormwater infrastructure assets. Specifically, it seeks to authorize payment for goods and services received and to be received under the contract, which has seen several modifications since its inception. Notably, Modification No. 13 aims to rescind previous administrative modifications and significantly increase the contract's not-to-exceed amount to over $6.4 million, thereby fully exercising Option Year One of the contract.

The Council of the District of Columbia recognizes that immediate approval is necessary to ensure the continuation of these vital services, as the contract's value will exceed $1 million within a 12-month period, necessitating Council approval under the District of Columbia Home Rule Act. The resolution is designed to be adopted after a single reading and takes effect immediately, reflecting the urgency of the situation to maintain essential stormwater management services.
