Key provisions and changes

Contract background:

Original contract: Executed January 21, 2026, by the Office of Contracting and Procurement (OCP) on behalf of the Department of Public Works (DPW).
Purpose: Provide equipment and qualified operators for snow plowing/removal.
Not-to-exceed amount initially set at $1 million for January 21, 2026 – January 20, 2027.

Modifications and funding adjustments:

Emergency Modification No. 01 (Jan 22, 2026): Increased not-to-exceed to $5 million (additional $4 million).
Emergency Modification No. M02 (Apr 27, 2026): Decreased not-to-exceed to $2.5 million (reduction of $2.5 million).
Emergency Modification No. M03 (June 2, 2026): Administrative modification to clarify the price schedule without changing the total not-to-exceed amount ($2.5 million).

Legal basis for Council action:

Under section 451(b)(1) of the DC Home Rule Act, Council approval is required when contract modifications increase the value by more than $1 million within a 12-month period.
This bill seeks emergency approval so the District can pay for goods and services exceeding $1 million within the specified period (January 21, 2026 – January 20, 2027).

Payment authorization:

Without Council approval, ID3 Trucking, LLC could not be paid for goods/services above $1 million for the period stated.

Effective date:

If enacted, the resolution would take effect immediately due to the declared emergency.

Who would be affected

ID3 Trucking, LLC: Eligible to be paid for snow removal equipment and operator services under Contract CW131628, within the updated not-to-exceed amount.

District of Columbia agencies:

Office of Contracting and Procurement (OCP)

Implications
