The resolution declares an emergency regarding the approval of Contract No. CW122630 with Patriot Harley Davidson, which involves the purchase of 30 to 35 police motorcycles with side cars for the Metropolitan Police Department. The contract, executed on December 11, 2024, has a total value of $1,686,086.89, necessitating Council approval due to its amount exceeding $1 million within a 12-month period.

To facilitate the payment for goods and services already received and to be received under this contract, the resolution authorizes immediate action by the Council. It states that without this approval, Patriot Harley Davidson would not be compensated for the services rendered, which is critical for maintaining police operations. The resolution is designed to be adopted after a single reading and takes effect immediately to address the pressing need for these resources.
