Bill > PR26-0254

This emergency resolution declares an immediate need to approve three modifications (M0008, M0009, and M0010) to a contract with Verizon Wireless, allowing the Office of Contracting and Procurement (OCP) to extend and adjust the contract's terms and funding. Specifically, the resolution covers a contract extension from March 8, 2025, through March 7, 2026, with an initial no-cost extension followed by a partial exercise of option year 4, ultimately increasing the contract's not-to-exceed (NTE) amount from $1 million to $9,680,000. The Council must approve these modifications because they increase the contract's value by more than $1 million within a 12-month period, and without this approval, Verizon Wireless cannot be paid for services provided. The resolution emphasizes the vital nature of these services and determines that the circumstances constitute an emergency, allowing the act to be adopted after a single reading and taking effect immediately.
