The resolution declares an emergency regarding the need to approve Modification Nos. M0026 and M0027 to Contract No. CW90941 with Aramark Correctional Services, LLC, which provides inmate food management services. It authorizes payment for goods and services received and to be received under these modifications. The urgency arises from the necessity to increase the contract's not-to-exceed amount due to the rising costs of services, which now exceed $1 million for the period from September 15, 2025, to September 14, 2026.

Modification No. M0026 increases the contract amount by $955,000, bringing the total to $7,062,415, while proposed Modification No. M0027 seeks an additional increase of $750,000, resulting in a total of $7,812,415. Council approval is required to ensure the continuation of these essential services, as without it, Aramark cannot be compensated for the services provided beyond the $1 million threshold. The resolution is set to take effect immediately following its adoption after a single reading.
