Modification 1 to Contract NFPHCRAD-23-C-0001 between Not-for-Profit Hospital Corporation and Washington Imaging Associates of Maryland, LLC and Payment Authorization Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2024

This resolution declares an emergency to immediately approve a contract extension between the Not-for-Profit Hospital Corporation and Washington Imaging Associates of Maryland, LLC for providing radiology services. The bill authorizes payment for approximately $630,000 in services rendered between late December 2023 and late June 2024, which were previously performed without formal approval due to a clerical error. By ratifying this extension, the total contract value reaches $1.26 million, exceeding the $1 million threshold that normally requires Council approval. The measure ensures the hospital can legally pay the vendor for these critical medical services while implementing new safeguards to prevent similar administrative oversights in the future.
