The proposed bill seeks approval for Contract No. CW124024 with the General Services Administration (GSA) Fleet Vehicle Buying Program, totaling $4,798,116 for the purchase of 100 2025 Ford Police Interceptor SUVs for the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD). This firm-fixed-price contract will be executed over a one-year performance period, with vehicle delivery aligned to the MPD's operational needs. The contract takes advantage of the GSA's bulk purchasing capabilities, ensuring competitive pricing, and has been certified by the Office of the Chief Financial Officer as funded within the MPD's FY25-29 Capital Improvement Plan. The GSA's positive track record on previous contracts further supports the reliability of this procurement.

The bill also delineates the role and limitations of the Contract Administrator (CA) within the MPD's Technical Services Bureau. The CA, identified as George Hester, is responsible for reviewing invoices, ensuring compliance with contract terms, and maintaining records, but is explicitly restricted from making contractual agreements or authorizing changes to the contract. The bill emphasizes that any unauthorized modifications by the Contractor may result in denial of compensation for unapproved work. Additionally, it outlines the process for invoice submission and incorporates specific documents into the contract to establish a clear order of precedence for resolving any inconsistencies.
