        (d) Council approval is now required as proposed Modification No. 07 would increase the

Contract value by $188,375. The aggregate increase to the total Contract value, via Modification

Nos. 04, 05, 06 and 07, would be $1,025,455.

        (e) Proposed Modification No. 07 would cause the aggregate value of all modifications

issued after the last Council approval to exceed $1 million; thus, Council approval of

Modification Nos. 04, 05, 06, and 07 is now required pursuant to section 451 of the District of

Columbia Home Rule Act, approved December 24, 1973 (87 Stat. 803; D.C. Official Code  1-

        Sec. 3. The Council of the District of Columbia determines that the circumstances
