Overview

PR 26-0361 is a Council resolution introduced on October 23, 2025 by Council Chairman Phil Mendelson. The measure is titled as an Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2025 and would authorize the University of the District of Columbia (UDC) to modify an existing contract (GF 2021-C-0021) with Consys Inc. By approving Change Order No. 2 and authorizing related payments, the resolution seeks to address needs arising under an emergency declaration affecting the project.

The bill is classified as a resolution, not a statute, and its primary effect is to memorialize and authorize specific contractual actions and disbursements tied to an emergency context.
