The resolution declares an emergency regarding the need to approve three modifications (M0007, M0008, and M0009) to Contract No. CW108152 with Keefe Commissary Network, LLC, which provides inmate commissary services. The modifications involve increasing the contract's not-to-exceed amount to allow for continued payment for goods and services received and to be received under the contract. Specifically, Modification No. M0007 was executed on October 5, 2025, for $675,000, Modification No. M0008 was executed on November 24, 2025, for an additional $325,000, and Modification No. M0009 seeks to exercise the remainder of Option Year 2, increasing the contract by $1 million.

The resolution emphasizes the urgency of the situation, as Council approval is required to ensure that the total contract value exceeds $1 million within a 12-month period, allowing for the continuation of essential services provided by Keefe Commissary Network, LLC. The Council has determined that the circumstances warrant immediate action, and thus the resolution will take effect immediately after a single reading.
