PR 26-0254 Legislature · 26th Council Period (2025-2026)

Modification Nos. M0008, M0009, and M0010 to Contract No. CW86331 with Cellco Partnership dba Verizon Wireless Approval and Payment Authorization Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2025

This bill approves three contract modifications (M0008, M0009, M0010) to the District of Columbia's existing wireless services agreement with Verizon Wireless (Contract No. CW86331). It authorizes an increase in funding from $1 million to $9.68 million for the period March 8, 2025-March 7, 2026, to cover enterprise voice, texting, and data services used by District government agencies. The approval is required under District law because the modifications exceed $1 million in value during a 12-month period. This procedural resolution ensures the District can pay for Verizon services already provided and to be provided under the extended contract.

No substantive change to the bill's scope or applicability. The legislative intent, contract modifications, and emergency declaration remain identical between versions.

Minor formatting and text refinements throughout, including standardizing 'd/b/a' usage and clarifying payment threshold language in section 2(f).

Removed the Mayor's cover letter and signature block, as these are administrative elements not included in the final enrolled bill text.
