The Atlanta City Council approved an ordinance to waive competitive source selection provisions and ratify services rendered by Chris 180, Inc. under an Emergency Violence Prevention & Reduction Program Administrative Services agreement. This decision also authorized a two-day retroactive extension of the agreement from January 23, 2025, through January 24, 2025. The original agreement (EA-S-1220191-A) was funded by the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARPA) for an amount not to exceed $1,500,000.00, on behalf of the Mayor's Office of Equity, Diversity and Inclusion. The term of the agreement expired on October 24, 2024, and was extended by the Chief Procurement Officer for 90 days until January 22, 2025. Due to an incorrect ending date being communicated, Chris 180, Inc. continued to provide services until January 24, 2025. The ordinance formally ratifies these services and any outstanding invoices for the two-day period from January 23, 2025, through January 24, 2025. The City Council voted 11 Yeas to 0 Nays to adopt the substitute ordinance.
