Bill Summary: B 26-0528 — Modification Nos. 6 and 7 to Contract No. DCAM-22-CS-RFP-0019 with Smoot Construction Company of Washington, DC Approval and Payment Authorization Emergency Act of 2025

Overview

  • Purpose: To authorize the District of Columbia to approve and pay for Modification Nos. 6 and 7 to Contract No. DCAM-22-CS-RFP-0019 with Smoot Construction Company, and to designate the measure as an Emergency Act of 2025.
  • Status: Transmitted to the Mayor; response due January 13, 2026.
  • Introduced: December 2, 2025
  • Classification: Emergency bill (fast-tracked approval related to a contract modification and related payments).

Purpose and Intent

  • To grant formal approval from the Council for two contract amendments (Modifications 6 and 7) to a previously awarded contract with Smoot Construction Company.
  • To authorize payment associated with those modifications, ensuring the contractor can proceed or complete the changes as stipulated.
  • To classify the measure as an emergency act, indicating a need for rapid implementation to avoid disruption to project timelines or funding obligations.

Key Provisions (as inferred from title and status)

  • Approval of Modification Nos. 6 and 7 to Contract No. DCAM-22-CS-RFP-0019.
  • Authorization for payments tied to these modifications.
  • Designation of the bill as an Emergency Act of 2025, signaling expedited effective date and limited debate timeline.
  • Likely alignment with existing procurement and contract administration requirements (e.g.,_ROI, compliance, documentation, and auditability) as prerequisites for modification approval and payment.

Affected Parties and Impacts

  • Primary: Smoot Construction Company (contractor).
  • Contracting Agency: The DCAM entity managing the contract (as referenced by the contract number DCAM-22-CS-RFP-0019).
  • Public: District residents and project stakeholders who rely on the completion or adjustment of the associated construction project, as well as District oversight and compliance bodies.

Procedural and Timeline Details

  • Introduced: December 2, 2025 (by Chairman Mendelson).
  • December 16, 2025: Amendment (L. George) filed; final reading and retention with committee comments (Facilities Committee) occurred on the same day.
  • December 29, 2025: Transmission to the Mayor with a response due by January 13, 2026.
  • Ongoing status: Awaiting Mayor’s approval or objections; if approved, the modifications would be executed and payments authorized accordingly.

Notes

  • The emergency designation suggests rapid implementation once the Mayor acts, potentially with limited delay for standard, unrelated procedures.
  • Specific dollar amounts, scope changes, schedules, and performance requirements for Modifications 6 and 7 are not provided in the summary and would be contained in the bill text and the underlying contract amendments.

If you’d like, I can tailor this summary to emphasize budgetary implications or include a brief comparison to standard (non-emergency) contract modification procedures.
