PR 26-0309 Legislature · 26th Council Period (2025-2026)

Modification Nos. 1, 2, and 3 to Contract NFPHC-OPS-23-C-00059 between the Not-for-Profit Hospital Corporation and Morrison Management Specialists, Inc. Approval and Payment Authorization Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2025

This bill approves emergency modifications to a contract for food and nutrition management services at United Medical Center (a District of Columbia hospital). It authorizes payment of $1,144,733 for services already provided, covering three contract adjustments: extending the service period due to a delayed facility opening ($53,618), addressing inflation-driven food cost increases ($93,466), and combining retroactive payments. The approval is urgent because the hospital must dissolve by September 30, 2025, and the vendor cannot be paid without Council action. The bill directly affects United Medical Center and Morrison Management Specialists, Inc., the contracted vendor.
