The proposed bill seeks the approval of the Council of the District of Columbia for a contract with WGL Energy Services, Inc. for electric supply services, with a not-to-exceed amount of $40 million. This contract, which will run from September 1, 2026, to August 31, 2027, is part of a cooperative purchasing agreement and will support the Department of General Services (DGS) in managing electricity for approximately 714 metered accounts. WGL Energy Services will supplement the renewable energy sources currently used by DGS, such as wind and solar power, through a combination of fixed block and market index purchases. The bill also confirms the contractor's qualifications and financial stability, ensuring compliance with the District's budget authority.

Additionally, the bill amends D.C. Code 47-2862 to prohibit the issuance of licenses or permits to individuals or entities lacking a certificate of clean hands, which verifies that applicants have no outstanding tax obligations to the District. This legislative change aims to streamline the licensing process while promoting accountability and compliance with tax laws. The bill also outlines the insurance requirements for contractors, mandating various types of coverage and ensuring that all subcontractors meet similar standards. Overall, the bill establishes a comprehensive framework for managing electric supply services and contractor obligations, enhancing the integrity of the District's licensing system and energy procurement processes.
