The resolution declares an emergency regarding the need to approve three modifications (M01, M02, and M03) to Contract No. CW131648 with Shaw Solutions LLC, which provides equipment and operators for snow plowing and removal services. The original contract, executed on January 20, 2026, had a not-to-exceed amount of $1 million for the period until January 19, 2027. Subsequent emergency modifications increased this amount to a total of $7.5 million, necessitating Council approval due to the increase exceeding $1 million within a 12-month period.

The resolution emphasizes the urgency of approving these modifications to ensure that Shaw Solutions LLC can be compensated for the goods and services provided. Without the Council's approval, payment for services rendered beyond the initial contract limit cannot be authorized. The resolution is designed to be adopted after a single reading and takes effect immediately, reflecting the critical nature of the services provided by Shaw Solutions during the winter season.
