A PROPOSED RESOLUTION
IN THE COUNCIL OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA
To declare the existence of an emergency with respect to the need to approve Modification Nos.
M0I and M02 to Contract No . CW131644 with Shaw Solutions LLC, and to authorize
payment for the goods and services received and to be received under the contract.
RESOLVED, BY THE COUNCIL OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, That this
resolution may be cited as the "Modification Nos. MO 1 and M02 to CWI 31644 with Shaw
Solutions LLC Approval and Payment Authorization Emergency Declaration Resolution of
2026".
Sec. 2. (a) There exists an immediate need to approve Modification Nos. M0I and M02
to Contract No. CW131644 with Shaw Solutions LLC, and to authorize payment for the goods
and services received and to be received under the contract.
(b) On January 20, 2026, the Office of Contracting and Procurement ("OCP"), on behalf
of the Department of Public Works, executed Contract No. CWI 31644 with Shaw Solutions
LLC to provide equipment and qualified operators for snow plowing and removal in the not-to
exceed amount of $1 million for the period from January 20, 2026, through January 19, 2027.
(c) On January 22, 2026, by Emergency Modification No. M0l, OCP increased the not
to-exceed amount by $4 million, to a total not-to-exceed amount of $5 million.

(d) On June 2, 2026, OCP executed Emergency Modification No. M02, an administrative 32
modification to clarify the price schedule, but did not change the total not-to-exceed amount of 33
$5 million. 34
(f) Under section 451(b)(1) of the District of Columbia Home Rule Act, approved 35
December 24, 1973 (87 Stat. 803; D.C. Official Code § 1-204.51(b)(1)), Council approval is 36
necessary since the modifications increased the value of the contract by more than $1 million 37
during a 12-month period. 38
(g) Approval is necessary to pay for these vital goods and services. Without this 39
approval, Shaw Solutions LLC cannot be paid for goods and services provided in excess of $1 40
million for the period from January 20, 2026, through January 19, 2027. 41
Sec. 3. The Council determines that the circumstances enumerated in section 2 constitute 42
emergency circumstances making it necessary that Modification Nos. M01 and M02 to Contract 43
No. CW131644 with Shaw Solutions LLC Approval and Payment Authorization Emergency Act 44
of 2026 be adopted after a single reading. 45
Sec. 4. This resolution shall take effect immediately. 46
