The resolution declares an emergency regarding the need to approve Modification No. 8 and proposed Modification No. 9 to Contract No. DCAM-20-CS-RFQ-0002F with American Combustion Industries, Inc. It authorizes payment for goods and services received and to be received under this contract. Modification No. 8, executed on June 6, 2024, partially exercised Option Year 4 for a period extending from June 8, 2024, to June 7, 2025, with a not-to-exceed amount of $990,000. Proposed Modification No. 9 aims to fully exercise Option Year 4, increasing the contract's total value by an additional $9,010,000, bringing it to $10 million.

The resolution emphasizes the necessity of Council approval due to the contract's increased value exceeding $1 million within a 12-month period, which is essential for the continuation of vital services provided by American Combustion Industries, Inc. Without this approval, the company cannot be compensated for goods and services rendered during the specified period. The Council has determined that the circumstances warrant immediate action, allowing the resolution to take effect immediately after a single reading.
