B 26-0745 Legislature · 26th Council Period (2025-2026)

Modification Nos. M01 and M02 to Contract No. CW131644 with Shaw Solutions LLC Approval and Payment Authorization Emergency Act of 2026

This emergency bill approves contract modifications with Shaw Solutions LLC to provide snow plowing and removal services for the District of Columbia during the 2026 winter season. The legislation authorizes a total payment of up to $5 million for equipment, trucks, and qualified operators needed to handle unanticipated snow and ice events. By overriding standard procurement rules, the bill allows the District to quickly adjust the contract's maximum spending limit without going through a new bidding process. The contract covers the period from January 20, 2026, through January 19, 2027, and applies to the specific services already outlined in the original agreement.
