The resolution declares an emergency regarding the need to approve modifications to Contract No. CW114997 with Carahsoft Technology Corporation, which provides Amazon Web Services to enhance healthcare services and access for citizens. Specifically, it seeks to authorize payment for goods and services received and to be received under the contract, which has seen several modifications since its inception. Modification Nos. M007 and M008 have already been executed, increasing the contract's value, and proposed Modification No. M009 aims to further increase the contract amount to $1,909,658.58, necessitating Council approval due to the total exceeding $1 million within a 12-month period.

The resolution emphasizes the urgency of the situation, as the continuation of these essential services relies on timely approval from the Council. Without this approval, Carahsoft Technology Corporation would be unable to receive payment for services rendered beyond the $1 million threshold, which would impact the provision of critical healthcare services. The resolution is set to take effect immediately following its adoption after a single reading.
