The bill proposes a modification to Contract No. AGR-23-30000040 with Modern Doors and Equipment Sales, Inc. to increase the funding amount for Option Year Three from $250,000 to a not-to-exceed amount of $5,193,334. This increase is intended to cover the costs associated with the replacement of operable airwalls in the exhibit halls and ballrooms at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center. The funding increase will be effective upon Council approval and will last until September 30, 2026.

The contract modification is deemed necessary as the existing operable airwalls have reached the end of their service life and require replacement. The Chief Contracting Officer has determined that this funding increase is in the best interest of Events DC, and the proposed contractor is compliant with tax obligations. The modification package includes various certifications and a resolution from the Events DC Board of Directors, and it requires approval from the District of Columbia Council.
