Emergency Approval for De-Icing Salt Contract Modification

This bill approves an emergency change to a contract with Eastern Salt Company, Inc. to increase the funding limit for de-icing salt needed after heavy snow in January 2026.

What This Bill Does

  • Approves Modification No. M001 to Contract CW132368 on an emergency basis.
  • Increases the contract's not-to-exceed amount from $1,000,000 to a total of $5,000,000.
  • Authorizes payment for de-icing salt received and to be received between January 22, 2026, and December 14, 2026.
  • Allows this emergency action because an urgent snow event left no time to wait for normal approval steps.

Who It Names or Affects

  • Eastern Salt Company, Inc., which provides the de-icing salt.
  • The District of Columbia Department of Public Works (DPW), which receives the salt.
  • District taxpayers who fund the contract up to $5 million.

Terms To Know

Emergency Act
A law that takes effect quickly after approval and stays in force for no more than 90 days unless extended by other steps.
Not-to-exceed (NTE)
The maximum amount of money the government agrees to pay under a contract; they may spend less, but not more.
Cooperative Purchasing Agreement
A deal where one group buys goods or services on behalf of another group, such as Montgomery County and the District.

Limits and Unknowns

  • The bill sets a maximum limit of $5 million but does not state the exact final cost.
  • This emergency law expires after 90 days unless other steps are taken by the Council or Mayor.
  • A future Modification M002 is mentioned to correct contract type details, but this text does not describe those changes.

significant program changes reflected in the proposed contract:

The contractor provides the Department of Public Works (DPW) with de-icing salt for snow events.
There were no changes to the programmatic scope of the contract. Contract modification 001 solely
increased the NTE amount in response to the unanticipated significant snow and ice event that
started on January 24, 2026. Contract modification 002 corrected the contract type.

(D) The selection process, including the number of offerors, the evaluation criteria, and the
evaluation results, including price, technical or quality, and past performance components:

The contract was awarded through a cooperative purchasing agreement with Montgomery County,
Maryland.

(E) A description of any bid protest related to the award of the contract, including whether the

of this contract.

(H) The period of performance associated with the proposed change, including date as of which
the proposed change is to be made effective:

The base year (January 22, 2026 – January 21, 2027) is associated with the proposed change.
Modification M001 was executed on January 22, 2026, increasing the contract’s ceiling from
$1,000,000 to $5,000,000.

(I) The value of any work or services performed pursuant to a proposed change for which the

January 22, 2026

(L) The reason why the proposed change was sent to Council for approval after it is intended to
take effect:

REVISED MEMORANDUM

TO: Tomas Talamante
Director
Office of Policy and Legislative Affairs

FROM: Robert Schildkraut
Section Chief
Government Contracts Section

DATE: June 1, 2026

SUBJECT: Approval of Contract Award over One Million Dollars
Contractor: Eastern Salt Company, Inc.
Contract Number: CW132368
Contract Amount: NTE $5,000,000

This is to Certify that this Office has reviewed the above-referenced Contract. To the extent
OAG is being requested to review the contents of the contract action the contents are found to be
legally sufficient. The process used to enter in this contract violated the requirements of DC
Code § 2–352.02. (Criteria for Council review of multiyear contracts and contracts in excess of
$1 million) because entering into Modification No. 1 of the Contract potentially allowed the
District to pay for services provided at over $1 million during a 12-month period, before
receiving Council approval.

If you have any questions in this regard, please do not hesitate to call me at (202) 724-4018.
