The resolution declares an emergency regarding the need to approve two modifications (M0003 and M0004) to Contract No. CW116651 with Capital Consulting, LLC, which provides information technology equipment. Modification M0003, executed on September 16, 2025, exercised the first option year of the contract for a maximum amount of $1 million. Proposed Modification M0004 seeks to increase the contract's not-to-exceed amount by an additional $9 million, bringing the total to $10 million. Council approval is required because the modifications will raise the contract value by more than $1 million within a 12-month period, which is essential for the continuation of these critical services.

The resolution emphasizes the urgency of the situation, stating that without Council approval, Capital Consulting, LLC cannot be compensated for goods and services provided from September 17, 2025, to September 16, 2026. The Council has determined that the circumstances warrant immediate action, allowing the resolution to be adopted after a single reading and taking effect immediately.
