The "Modification Nos. M0008, M0009, and M0010 to Contract No. CW86331 with Cellco Partnership dba Verizon Wireless Approval and Payment Authorization Emergency Act of 2025" is an emergency bill aimed at approving modifications to an existing contract with Verizon Wireless for essential wireless services. The bill authorizes a payment of up to $9,680,000 for these services and allows the District to fully exercise option year four of the contract, ensuring uninterrupted cellular services, particularly for public safety users. The emergency nature of the bill means it will take effect immediately upon the Mayor's approval and will last for no longer than 90 days.

Key amendments in the bill include the deletion of the previous modification M0007 and the replacement of the contracting officer's information with that of Camille Christian, the Supervisory Contract Specialist. The contract's term is extended through March 22, 2025, at no cost, with the option period further extended to March 7, 2026, maintaining a minimum of $10,000 and a maximum of $1,000,000. The bill also introduces a new modification (M0010) that updates the financial parameters and contract duration while ensuring that all other terms of the contract remain unchanged, thereby facilitating the continuity of services provided by Verizon Wireless.
