The resolution presented by Mayor Muriel Bowser seeks the Council's approval for an emergency bill regarding Contract No. DCRL-2024-D-0073 with All Pro All Services (APAS) to provide school transportation services for Child and Family Services Agency (CFSA) clients. The contract, originally issued on August 7, 2024, has undergone several modifications, including an increase in the total contract value to $2,965,620 due to additional services required for CFSA clients. The resolution emphasizes the urgency of approving these modifications to ensure that APAS can be compensated for services rendered, particularly as the total contract amount has exceeded $1,000,000 within a 12-month period.

The resolution outlines the necessity of approving Modification No. M004 and the proposed Modification No. M008 to facilitate the continuation of essential transportation services. It states that without the Council's approval, APAS would not be able to receive payment for the additional services provided. The resolution is classified as an emergency measure, allowing it to be adopted after a single reading, and it is intended to ensure that the vital services for CFSA clients remain uninterrupted.
