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, will increase the total contract amount by $1,200,355, bringing it to a cumulative total of $2,775,355. The resolution emphasizes the urgent need for these modifications to ensure the continuation of essential services and to authorize payment for goods and services already received and to be received.
The resolution outlines the history of the contract, including previous modifications that have incrementally increased its value. It notes that Council approval is required due to the significant increase in contract value 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 avoid disruptions in service provision.
