The resolution presented by Mayor Muriel Bowser seeks the Council of the District of Columbia's approval for emergency modifications to Contract No. CW110321 with Miles Away Charter, LLC, which provides transportation services for students with disabilities. Specifically, it addresses Modification Nos. M0007 and M0008, which will authorize a total payment not to exceed $1,465,200. Modification M0007 partially exercises option year three of the contract, while M0008 will complete this option and increase the contract's total value significantly, necessitating Council approval due to the increase exceeding $1 million within a 12-month period.

The resolution emphasizes the urgent need for these modifications to ensure the continuation of essential transportation services for students with disabilities. Without the Council's prompt approval, Miles Away Charter, LLC would be unable to receive payment for services rendered beyond the $1 million threshold from August 23, 2026, to August 22, 2027. The resolution is designed to be enacted after a single reading, reflecting the immediate nature of the situation.
