The resolution presented by Mayor Muriel Bowser seeks the Council of the District of Columbia's approval for emergency modifications to Contract No. CW94742 with Verizon Communications. Specifically, it addresses Modification Nos. M10 and M11, which are necessary for the management and maintenance of telecommunications services for the District government. The modifications will allow the continuation of these essential services and authorize payment for goods and services received, as well as those to be received, under the contract. The total increase in the contract value due to these modifications will exceed $1 million, necessitating Council approval under the District of Columbia Home Rule Act.

The resolution emphasizes the urgency of the situation, stating that without prompt approval, Verizon Communications would be unable to receive payment for services rendered beyond the $1 million threshold. The modifications include a partial exercise of option year three of the contract, with an initial amount of $983,547.48, followed by an additional increase of $1,967,094.96, bringing the total contract value to $2,950,642.44 for the period extending through April 28, 2026. The resolution is designed to be adopted after a single reading, highlighting the immediate need for action to ensure the continuity of telecommunications services for the District government.
