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. This firm-fixed-price contract will be executed over a one-year performance period, with vehicle delivery aligned to the operational needs of the department. The contract takes advantage of competitive pricing through the GSA's program, and funding has been certified as available within the Metropolitan Police Department's FY25-29 Capital Improvement Plan. The bill confirms the contract's legal sufficiency, noting no pending legal claims against the District by the contractor.
Furthermore, the bill outlines the responsibilities and limitations of the Contract Administrator (CA) for managing contracts related to the Metropolitan Police Department. The CA is tasked with reviewing invoices, ensuring compliance with contractual terms, and maintaining comprehensive documentation. The bill explicitly restricts the CA's authority, prohibiting actions such as awarding contracts or authorizing expenditures without prior written consent from the Contracting Officer. It also details the process for invoice submission and payment, while establishing an order of precedence for resolving any inconsistencies in contract documents. No new legal insertions or deletions are included in the bill.
