The resolution presented by Mayor Muriel Bowser seeks the Council of the District of Columbia's approval for several modifications to Contract No. DCAM-20-AE-0019 with DLR Group of DC, P.C., which provides architectural and engineering services for the Metropolitan Police Department's Daly Building swing space. The proposed modifications, numbered 1 through 8, involve significant increases to the contract's total value, culminating in a cumulative increase of $1,200,355, raising the contract amount from $1,575,000 to $2,775,355. The resolution emphasizes the urgent need for approval to ensure the continuation of these essential services and to authorize payment for goods and services already received and to be received under the contract modifications.

The resolution outlines the history of the contract and its modifications, detailing the incremental increases in funding over time. It notes that Council approval is required due to the substantial increase in contract value exceeding $1 million within a 12-month period, as stipulated by the District of Columbia Home Rule Act. The resolution is classified as an emergency measure, allowing it to be adopted after a single reading, and it is intended to facilitate prompt action by the Council to address the immediate needs of the Metropolitan Police Department.
