Proposals submitted to the Mayor shall be evaluated in accordance with this chapter and rules promulgated pursuant to this chapter. Each proposal shall outline financial and structural plans for the development, repair, occupancy, maintenance, and ownership of the property and shall contain any other information required by this chapter or any rules promulgated pursuant to this chapter.
(c) The Mayor may accept unsolicited proposals for any property that has been offered for sale but that was not purchased through the RFP process. A proposal that the Mayor approves shall be submitted to the Council for approval, in whole or in part, by resolution. If the Council does not approve or disapprove the proposed resolution within 60 calendar days, excluding days of Council recess, the proposed resolution shall be deemed disapproved.

Effect of Amendments
D.C. Law 13-11 struck the phrase “a semiannual” and inserted the phrase “an annual” in its place.

D.C. Law 14-213 made a technical change in the enacting clause of D.C. Law 14-114, § 801(d)(2)(B), which resulted in no change in text.
D.C. Law 15-105 attempted to make the same technical amendment as D.C. Law 14-213, therefore, the amendment was ineffective.
