Proposed Contract No. CW128791 with HME, Inc. Emergency Disapproval Resolution of 2026
This resolution directs the District of Columbia Council to immediately reject a proposed contract with HME, Inc. that would have provided up to 24 fire pumpers for the Fire and Emergency Medical Services Department. The disapproval applies to a contract valued at approximately $32.5 million and is based on emergency procedures under the District's Home Rule Act and Procurement Practices Reform Act. The Council will send this decision to the Mayor's office, and the resolution takes effect immediately upon adoption. This action prevents the contract from moving forward without further review or approval.

MINOR
The bill was converted from a proposed resolution to an enrolled original, indicating it has been finalized and signed. The text was reorganized to remove signature blocks and standard formatting headers, while retaining the core emergency disapproval of a fire truck contract.
TECHNICAL
The document title and header structure were changed from 'A PROPOSED RESOLUTION' to 'ENROLLED ORIGINAL' and 'A RESOLUTION', reflecting its transition from draft to final legal status.
Signatures of Council members and the Chairman were removed, as they are no longer needed once the bill is enrolled.
Line breaks and spacing were adjusted to standardize the layout of the resolution text.
