PR 26-0164 Legislature · 26th Council Period (2025-2026)

Modification Nos. 15, 16, 17, 17a, 17b, 17c, and 18 to Contract No. CW98887 with Great American Corporation Approval and Payment Authorization Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2025

This bill approves modifications to a contract with Great American Corporation for meal delivery services to District of Columbia seniors. It authorizes an additional $1.76 million in payments (raising the total to $4.84 million) to extend the contract period through May 15, 2025, ensuring continued delivery of hot/cold ready-to-eat meals and supplements to participants in the Department of Aging and Community Living program. The contract modifications were necessary to legally pay for services exceeding $1 million during the contract period, preventing disruption to this vital service for elderly residents. The bill is procedural, focusing solely on payment authorization for an existing service contract.
