PR 26-0634 Legislature · 26th Council Period (2025-2026)

Modification Nos. M03 and M04 to Contract No. DCPL-2022-C-0027C with Ingram Library Services, LLC Approval and Payment Authorization Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2026

This bill authorizes the District of Columbia Council to approve two modifications to an existing contract with Ingram Library Services, LLC for the District of Columbia Public Library. The legislation allows the library to increase the contract's spending limit from $950,000 to $1,200,000 to cover the purchase of books, materials, and related services for the 2025-2026 period. Because the new total exceeds one million dollars, the law requires Council approval to legally authorize payment for these goods and services. The bill declares an emergency to ensure these vital library services continue without interruption during the contract year.

What changed between versions

Introduction → Enrollment · 3 edits
MINOR
The bill was converted from a legislative Act into an Enrolled Resolution, changing its legal form while keeping the core purpose of approving contract modifications for library services. The text was cleaned up to remove the original letterhead and cover page, and minor wording adjustments were made to clarify that the Council's approval is required to authorize payments exceeding the $1 million threshold.
Scope change
The document's legal form changed from an Act to a Resolution, but the scope of the contract modifications and the funding amounts remain identical.
TECHNICAL

The document type was changed from an 'Act' to a 'Resolution' and marked as 'Enrolled Original', indicating it has been finalized and sent to the Mayor for signature.

The cover letter, sender information, and page numbering artifacts from the introduction draft were removed.

Minor phrasing changes were made in Section 2 to improve clarity, such as changing 'executed Contract No. M03' to 'executed Modification No. M03' and adding 'Council' to the emergency justification.
