The proposed resolution from Mayor Muriel Bowser seeks the Council of the District of Columbia's approval for an emergency contract with Kaiser Foundation Health Plan of the Mid-Atlantic States, Inc. This multiyear contract, valued at approximately $806 million, is intended to provide and administer fully insured health benefits to District employees, their dependents, and retirees, in alignment with the D.C. Employees Health Benefits Program. The resolution emphasizes the urgency of the situation, indicating that timely approval is necessary to ensure the District can access these essential health services.

The resolution outlines the need for the contract and states that the Office of Contracting and Procurement, on behalf of the Department of Human Resources, is proposing to enter into this agreement. It asserts that the circumstances warrant an emergency declaration, allowing the resolution to be adopted after a single reading. The Mayor encourages prompt and favorable action from the Council to facilitate the continuation of health benefits for District employees and their families.
