PR 26-0740 Legislature · 26th Council Period (2025-2026)

Modification Nos. M0008 and M0009 to Contract No. CW113639 with Safeware, Inc. Approval and Payment Authorization Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2026

This bill authorizes an emergency contract modification with Safeware, Inc. to increase the spending limit for firefighting and hazardous materials equipment from $900,000 to $1.6 million for the 2026-2027 period. The legislation allows the District of Columbia Fire and Emergency Medical Services Department to pay for additional tools and safety gear needed during this timeframe. By raising the contract value above the $1 million threshold, the bill ensures the vendor can continue providing these critical services without payment delays. The measure is processed as an emergency declaration to facilitate immediate approval and payment authorization.
