The resolution declares an emergency regarding the need to approve modifications to Contract No. CW103730 with Bound Tree Medical, LLC, which provides essential goods and services to the Fire and Emergency Medical Services Department. Specifically, it addresses three modifications: M0004, M0005, and M0006, which collectively increase the contract's value to over $1 million for the period from October 1, 2024, to September 30, 2025. Modification M0004 partially exercised Option Year 2 for $995,000, while M0005 exercised the remainder at no additional cost. Modification M0006 further increases the contract amount by $605,000, bringing the total to $1.6 million.

The resolution emphasizes the urgency of obtaining Council approval to ensure that Bound Tree Medical, LLC can be compensated for the goods and services provided, as the contract's value exceeds the $1 million threshold requiring such approval. The Council recognizes the immediate need for these modifications to continue vital services, and thus, the resolution is set to take effect immediately after a single reading.
