The "Modification Nos. 1, 2, and 3 to Contract NFPHC-OPS-23-C-00059 between the Not-for-Profit Hospital Corporation and Morrison Management Specialists, Inc. Approval and Payment Authorization Emergency Act of 2025" seeks emergency approval for modifications to an existing contract for Food and Nutrition Management services, totaling a retroactive value of $1,144,733.00. This amount includes Modification 1 for $997,649.00, Modification 2 for $53,618.00, and Modification 3 for $93,466.00. The modifications are necessitated by delays in the opening of Cedar Hill and increased costs due to inflation and higher utilization rates, which have led to the contract exceeding its budget. The bill emphasizes the urgency of these modifications due to the impending statutory dissolution of the Not-for-Profit Hospital Corporation on September 30, 2025, requiring Council approval before the next legislative meeting.

The bill also includes provisions that allow for the approval of these modifications despite certain procurement requirements, ensuring uninterrupted essential services during the transition period. It confirms that the necessary funds are included in the NFPHC FY 2025 budget and that the legal sufficiency of the modifications has been validated by the General Counsel of NFPHC. The modifications extend the contract term and outline the responsibilities of the Contractor in providing Food and Nutritional Services, including compliance with standards, training for staff, and performance reporting. The contract is set for an initial term of one year, with the possibility of extending for up to three additional one-year periods.
