The resolution declares an emergency regarding the need to approve three modifications (M0008, M0009, and M0010) to Contract No. CW86331 with Cellco Partnership, also known as Verizon Wireless. These modifications are essential for authorizing payment for goods and services that have been received and will be received under the contract. Specifically, Modification No. M0008 extends the term of option year 3 at no additional cost, while Modification No. M0009 replaces this extension with a partial exercise of option year 4, capped at $1 million. Modification No. M0010 further increases this cap to $9,680,000 and fully exercises option year 4.

The resolution emphasizes the urgency of obtaining Council approval, as the modifications will raise the contract's value by over $1 million within a 12-month period, which is necessary for the continuation of critical services provided by Verizon Wireless. Without this approval, the company cannot be compensated for the services rendered beyond the specified financial threshold. The Council has determined that these circumstances warrant immediate action, allowing the resolution to be adopted after a single reading and taking effect immediately.
