Contract No. DCKA-2026-C-0901 with Strittmatter Metro, LLC Approval and Payment Authorization Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2026

This bill authorizes the payment of $3.2 million to Strittmatter Metro, LLC for emergency snow removal services provided in Washington, D.C., during a severe winter storm in early 2026. The legislation formally approves the contract and its subsequent modifications, which were executed quickly to address an immediate public safety need when standard procurement processes would have been too slow. By passing this measure, the Council ensures that the company can be legally paid for the equipment and operators they deployed, as the amount exceeds the threshold for emergency contracts without prior legislative approval. The bill also explicitly states that this approval overrides certain standard procurement regulations to facilitate the rapid response to the weather emergency.
