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 total of $990,000, while proposed Modification No. 9 aims to fully exercise Option Year 4, increasing the contract's not-to-exceed amount by $9,010,000 to a total of $10 million.

The resolution emphasizes the urgency of Council approval, as the modifications will raise the contract value beyond $1 million within a 12-month period, which is necessary for the continuation of essential services. Without this approval, American Combustion Industries, Inc. would be unable to receive payment for goods and services exceeding $1 million for the specified period. The Council has determined that these circumstances warrant immediate action, allowing the resolution to take effect right away.
