The resolution declares an emergency regarding the need to approve modifications to Contract No. CW108863 with La Clínica del Pueblo, Inc. for substance use disorder outpatient treatment services. The contract, initially executed on July 6, 2023, had a not-to-exceed (NTE) amount of $700,000 for the first year. Subsequent modifications have increased the contract's value, with Modification Nos. M0001, M0002, and M0003 raising the NTE amount to $1.6 million for the period from July 6, 2024, to July 5, 2025. Council approval is required to authorize payment for services exceeding $1 million, which is essential for the continuation of these critical services.

The resolution emphasizes the urgency of the situation, stating that without immediate Council approval, La Clínica del Pueblo, Inc. would not be compensated for the services rendered beyond the $1 million threshold. The Council has determined that the circumstances warrant the adoption of this resolution after a single reading, allowing for swift action to ensure the ongoing provision of necessary treatment services. The resolution is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
