The resolution declares an emergency regarding the need to approve two modifications (M01 and M02) to Contract No. CW131644 with Shaw Solutions, LLC, which provides equipment and operators for snow plowing and removal services. The contract, initially executed on January 20, 2026, had a not-to-exceed amount of $1 million for the period until January 19, 2027. However, an emergency modification increased this amount by $4 million, bringing the total to $5 million. The second modification clarified the price schedule without altering the total amount. Council approval is required because the modifications exceeded a $1 million increase within a 12-month period, and without this approval, Shaw Solutions cannot be compensated for the services rendered.

The resolution emphasizes the urgency of the situation, stating that the circumstances warrant immediate action by the Council of the District of Columbia to ensure the approval and payment authorization for the contract modifications. It is designed to be adopted after a single reading and takes effect immediately to facilitate the necessary payments for the vital services provided by Shaw Solutions, LLC.
