The resolution declares an emergency regarding the need to approve several modifications to Contract No. CW101632 with KBEC Group, Inc., which provides essential goods and services. Specifically, it addresses Modification Nos. M0009 through M0013, which involve adjustments to the contract's terms and funding. The modifications include the partial exercise of option year 2 of the contract, with the total not-to-exceed (NTE) amount increasing to over $1 million, necessitating Council approval to ensure continued service provision and payment for goods and services rendered.
The resolution emphasizes the urgency of the situation, as the modifications are critical for the Department of Human Services to maintain operations through September 30, 2025. It states that without the Council's approval, KBEC Group, Inc. would be unable to receive payment for services exceeding the $1 million threshold during the specified period. The resolution is set to take effect immediately following its adoption after a single reading, reflecting the pressing nature of the circumstances outlined.
