The resolution presented by Mayor Muriel Bowser seeks the Council of the District of Columbia's approval for emergency modifications to Contract No. CW117619 with RCM of Washington, Inc., which provides essential residential services to individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. The proposed modifications, specifically M02, M03, M03a, and M04, aim to increase the contract's not-to-exceed amount by $1,028,121 for the first option year, ensuring that RCM can continue delivering these vital services without interruption. The resolution emphasizes the urgency of this approval, as it is necessary to authorize payment for goods and services already received and to be received under the contract modifications.

The resolution outlines the specific modifications, including the exercise of partial options for various periods and the need for Council approval due to the increase in contract value exceeding $1 million within a 12-month timeframe. It highlights that without this approval, RCM of Washington, Inc. would be unable to receive payment for services rendered from March 1, 2026, through February 28, 2027. The Council recognizes the emergency circumstances surrounding this matter and intends for the resolution to take effect immediately following a single reading.
