The resolution, titled "Modification No. 4 to Multiyear Contract No. CW91301 with Thales DIS USA, Inc. Approval and Payment Authorization Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2026," declares an emergency regarding the need to approve a modification to an existing contract with Thales DIS USA, Inc. This contract, originally approved on October 5, 2021, pertains to the development of a digitized driver's license and identification centralized security credentialing system for the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). The modification seeks to adjust the contract's performance period from the original dates of October 6, 2021, to October 5, 2028, to a new period from July 1, 2023, to June 30, 2030, in order to facilitate the continuation of essential services.

The resolution emphasizes the urgency of the situation, as the performance under the contract did not commence until July 1, 2023, and immediate Council approval is necessary to authorize payment for the goods and services provided under the contract. The Council has determined that the circumstances warrant the adoption of this resolution after a single reading, allowing it to take effect immediately to ensure the uninterrupted provision of services by Thales DIS USA, Inc.
