The resolution declares an emergency regarding the approval of Modification No. M03 to Contract No. DCAM-21-NC-RFQ-0002Q with Spectrum Management, which is essential for authorizing payment for goods and services already received and to be received under the contract. The Department of General Services exercised option year 3 of the contract on October 1, 2024, with a not-to-exceed amount of $5 million for the period ending September 30, 2025. Since this modification involves a value exceeding $1 million, Council approval is required to ensure the continuation of these critical services and to facilitate payment to Spectrum Management.

The resolution emphasizes the urgency of the situation, stating that without Council approval, Spectrum Management would not be compensated for services rendered beyond the $1 million threshold. Consequently, the Council has determined that the circumstances warrant immediate action, allowing the resolution to be adopted after a single reading and taking effect immediately.
