The resolution presented by Mayor Muriel Bowser seeks the Council of the District of Columbia's approval for an emergency bill titled "Modification 0001 to Contract No. CW132711 with Total Civil Construction Approval and Payment Authorization Emergency Act of 2026." This legislation is necessary to authorize payment for emergency snow removal services provided by Total Civil Construction from January 29, 2026, to February 13, 2026, at a reduced contract price of $3,741,619.20. The modification reflects actual labor hours used and includes a surcharge for credit card payments.

The resolution emphasizes the urgent need for Council approval due to the contract exceeding $1 million, as mandated by the District of Columbia Home Rule Act. Without this approval, Total Civil Construction would be unable to receive payment for the essential services rendered during the specified period. The Council recognizes the emergency circumstances surrounding this situation and intends for the resolution to take effect immediately after a single reading.
