This bill approves two contract modifications ($M004$ and $M008$) for a school transportation service contract with All Pro All Services (APAS), increasing the total contract value from $1.62 million to $2.97 million. It authorizes retroactive payment for services provided to approximately 50-60 Child and Family Services Agency (CFSA) clients from August 2024 through August 2025. The modifications cover an additional $418,765 for extended services beyond the original contract scope, ensuring APAS can be paid for work already completed. The resolution designates this as an emergency to expedite payment approval without full legislative review.

This bill retroactively approves a $2,070,224.86 change order for the University of the District of Columbia's (UDC) Academic Commons construction project. It authorizes payment to contractor Consys Inc. for additional work - including IT upgrades, security improvements, and unforeseen construction modifications - added after the original contract began. The Council seeks emergency approval to avoid legal risks to UDC, as the change order was not submitted for prior authorization. The resolution specifically covers changes to the project initially approved in 2022 (CA 24-0382) and the first change order approved in 2024.

This resolution confirms Mayor Bowser's appointment of Cambridge Worrell-Smith to fill a vacant seat on the Commission on Out of School Time Grants and Youth Outcomes. The commission, established by D.C. Law 21-261 (2016), oversees youth programs outside regular school hours. Worrell-Smith, a Ward 5 high school student, will serve the remainder of an unexpired term ending November 7, 2026. The resolution requires the Council to formally approve the appointment and transmit the resolution to the nominee and Mayor's office.
