Multiyear Contract No. AGR-25-30000342 with Aramark Management Services, LP Approval and Payment Authorization Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2025

This resolution approves a $39.2 million multiyear contract (2025-2030) between Events DC and Aramark Management Services for janitorial services at two District of Columbia venues. It directly affects the Walter E. Washington Convention Center and Carnegie Library by authorizing routine cleaning of interior areas (lobbies, exhibit halls, restrooms) and exterior grounds (window cleaning, snow removal). The resolution designates this as an emergency to prevent a service lapse, requiring immediate Council approval to begin services on October 1, 2025. The contract covers essential health and safety maintenance for public events at these facilities.
