The resolution declares an emergency regarding the approval of multiple modifications to Contract No. CW98887 with Great American Corporation, which provides essential goods and services. It outlines a series of modifications that have occurred since November 2024, including extensions of the contract's performance period and increases in the not-to-exceed (NTE) amount, culminating in a proposed increase to $4,841,171.40. The Council's approval is necessary because the modifications will raise the contract's value above $1 million within a 12-month period, which is critical for the continuation of services provided by Great American Corporation.

The resolution emphasizes the urgency of the situation, stating that without the Council's approval, the corporation cannot be compensated for services rendered beyond the $1 million threshold from May 16, 2024, to May 15, 2025. It concludes by asserting that the circumstances warrant immediate action, allowing the resolution to be adopted after a single reading and taking effect immediately.
