The resolution presented by Mayor Muriel Bowser seeks the Council of the District of Columbia's approval for emergency modifications to Contract No. CW131646 with Shaw Solutions LLC, which provides snow plowing and removal services. The modifications, labeled M01, M02, and M03, adjust the contract's financial terms, including an increase in the not-to-exceed amount to $5 million and a subsequent decrease to $3 million. The contract is set to cover services from January 20, 2026, to January 19, 2027, and the total payment authorization for these services is capped at $3 million.

The resolution emphasizes the urgent need for Council approval due to the modifications exceeding the $1 million threshold within a 12-month period, as mandated by the District of Columbia Home Rule Act. Without this approval, Shaw Solutions LLC would be unable to receive payment for the services rendered, which are deemed essential for public safety during the winter months. The resolution is designed to be adopted after a single reading, reflecting the immediate nature of the situation.
