District of ColumbiaD.C. approved up to $10.5 million for Ramsell contract work
D.C. approved two Ramsell Corporation contract changes and authorized up to $10.5 million in payments under an emergency act that expired June 19, 2025.
What it does
The Council approved two changes to Ramsell Corporation's contract despite a D.C. purchasing rule. It authorized payments of up to $10.5 million for contract goods and services. The emergency act expired June 19, 2025.
Argument forAllowing payment for goods and services already received could help D.C. settle bills for work Ramsell provided under the contract.
Argument againstApproving the contract changes despite a D.C. purchasing rule could leave less assurance that the usual purchasing requirements were followed.
More detail
The D.C. Council approved the contract changes and authorized payments. The approval covered changes 8 and 9 to contract CW94739 with Ramsell Corporation. Payments covered goods and services received or to be received under that contract. The approval went ahead despite the requirements of a D.C. purchasing law cited in the act.
