The proposed resolution, titled "Modification Nos. M0002 and M0003 to Contract No. CW121533 with Brandywine Valley SPCA Approval and Payment Authorization Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2025," seeks to address the urgent need for the Council of the District of Columbia to approve modifications to an existing contract with Brandywine Valley SPCA. This contract is essential for providing comprehensive animal control services, which include the operation of the District's animal shelter and animal disease prevention services. The total amount for option year one of the contract is set at $8,173,916, with the modifications allowing for the continuation of these vital services.

The resolution outlines that Modification No. M0002 has already been executed to cover a partial option for the contract, while Modification No. M0003 is necessary to complete the remainder of the option year. The Council's approval is mandated due to the contract's value exceeding $1 million within a 12-month period, as stipulated by the District of Columbia Home Rule Act. The resolution emphasizes the urgency of the situation, stating that without approval, Brandywine Valley SPCA would be unable to receive payment for services rendered, thereby jeopardizing the provision of critical animal control services in the District.
