B 26-0741 Legislature · 26th Council Period (2025-2026)

Contract No. DCKA-2026-C-0900 with Fort Myer Construction Corporation Approval and Payment Authorization Emergency Act of 2026

This bill authorizes the District of Columbia Council to approve and pay for an emergency contract with Fort Myer Construction Corporation valued at approximately $8.8 million. The agreement covers the immediate removal of heavy snow and ice from roads, bridges, and critical access routes within the District during January and February 2026. By invoking emergency procedures, the legislation allows the District to bypass standard procurement timelines to ensure rapid response to winter weather conditions. The funds are designated specifically for the provision of heavy equipment, management, personnel, and transportation services required to clear primary and secondary roadways.

MINOR
The bill text was converted from a draft introduction format to an official enrolled version, removing the signature block and adding the formal title page. The core policy content, including the $8.84 million funding amount, the 90-day emergency duration, and the snow removal services, remained unchanged.
Scope change
No substantive change to the bill's scope or applicability; only the document format and official status were updated.
TECHNICAL

Removed the draft header, signature lines for the Council Chairman and Mayor, and the 'Contract Summary' section detailing contractor principals and selection criteria.

Added the official 'Enrolled Original' title page and formal act citation.

Reorganized the text to flow as a continuous act rather than a structured summary, while keeping all legal provisions identical.
