The bill proposes the exercise of Option Year One for Contract No. AGR-25-30000344 with Siemens Industry, Inc. for Fire and Life Safety Services at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center. This option will extend the contract from October 1, 2026, to September 30, 2027, with a not-to-exceed amount of $1,016,274.00. The contract aims to provide routine maintenance and services for fire and life safety systems, as well as to continue the replacement of Variable Air Volume (VAV) units at the convention center, which have been maintained by Siemens under previous agreements.

The contract modification includes a certification that Siemens is current with its tax obligations and that the funding for this option year is included in Events DC's approved fiscal year 2027 budget. The resolution for this contract modification has been approved by the Board of Directors of the Washington Convention and Sports Authority, and it is now submitted for approval by the Council of the District of Columbia as required by law.
