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 GSA's program allows the District to take advantage of competitive pricing through bulk purchasing, and the Office of the Chief Financial Officer has confirmed that the necessary funding is available within the MPD's budget. The contract has been reviewed for legal sufficiency, with no outstanding legal claims against the District.

The bill also delineates the responsibilities of the Contract Administrator (CA) within the MPD's Technical Services Bureau, who is responsible for reviewing invoices, ensuring cost compliance, and maintaining contract records. The CA, identified as George Hester, is explicitly restricted from making contractual agreements, altering contract terms, or authorizing expenditures beyond the agreed limits. Furthermore, the Contractor is held liable for any unauthorized changes, which may result in the denial of compensation for unapproved work. The bill outlines the invoice submission process and incorporates specific documents into the contract to establish a clear order of precedence for resolving any inconsistencies.
