The resolution presented by Mayor Muriel Bowser seeks the Council of the District of Columbia's urgent approval of two modifications (M0006 and M0007) to Contract No. CW119502 with Friendship Place, which provides short-term family housing. The modifications involve increasing the contract's not-to-exceed amount from $2,749,723.40 to $4,091,873.98, allowing for the continuation of essential services. The proposed changes are necessary to authorize payment for goods and services already received and to be received under the contract, as the total value will exceed $1 million within a 12-month period.
The resolution emphasizes the immediate need for these modifications to ensure that Friendship Place can be compensated for its services from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026. It declares the situation as an emergency, allowing for the resolution to be adopted after a single reading, thereby facilitating prompt action by the Council. The Mayor's administration is available for any inquiries regarding the proposed modifications, underscoring the urgency of the matter.
