The resolution presented by Mayor Muriel Bowser seeks the Council of the District of Columbia's approval for emergency modifications to Contract No. CW106884 with the See Forever Foundation, which provides educational programs for youth in the custody of the Department of Youth Rehabilitation Services (DYRS) at the Youth Services Center. The proposed modifications, M004, M05, and M06, will authorize a total expenditure not to exceed $3,968,957.85, allowing for the continuation of essential services and the exercise of the remainder of option year three of the contract. The urgency of this resolution is underscored by the need to ensure that the See Forever Foundation can be compensated for services rendered, particularly as the contract value exceeds $1 million within a 12-month period.

The resolution outlines the specific modifications made to the contract, including the initial partial option exercised on July 7, 2026, and subsequent extensions that have been issued. It emphasizes that without the Council's approval, the Foundation would be unable to receive payment for services provided beyond the $1 million threshold, which is critical for maintaining the educational programs for the youth in custody. The resolution is deemed an emergency measure, necessitating immediate adoption after a single reading to ensure the continuity of these vital services.
